Sexy Makeup Tips

Veronica: Hi I'm Veronica with WatchMojo.com and today make-up artist
Lisa Sim shows us how to create the Big-O look.

Lisa Sim: North American ideas of beauty—where do they come from? I’d
have to say that it’s all kind of revolves around the sex. Because,
believe it or not, humans are the only animals that don’t go into
heat.

So the reason why we do our lips big, red, glossy, is kind to make
it look like our other lips. And why we do put blush on our cheeks?
Kind of looks like post-orgasm. Those are kind of like a couple of
reasons why we do our make-up the way we do; to make it look
obviously younger, kind of fertile, and enhance our natural beauty.

Veronica: So now you’re about to show us some ways to get this look at
home?

Lisa Sim: Absolutely, we’re going to do a clear skin, we’re going to do rosy
cheeks; we’re going to do plump-filled-juicy lips, and bright eyes.

Alright we’re here at Aimee, how are you?

Aimee Davison: Great.

Lisa Sim: We’re going to do a very natural but sexy look. We’re going to
start with the apples of the cheeks versus doing the contour which
would make us look more as felt. This is the part that looks of—
kind of like the post-orgasm.

So you do a big smile. We will take a nice pink. We’re using a
round dome and we’re just going to hit the tops of the cheek bone.
And that’s the flushed and heat look.

Okay, we’re going to talk about soft-natural lips. Best way to
achieve this is by starting by exfoliating the lip. When you sloth
the dead cells off the surface of the lip, it’s going to do several
things:

You can improve the circulation. It’s going to bring all the blood
flow to the lips. It’s going to make it look fuller. It’s going to take
out the fine lines and take off all the dead skin.

So I just took a little bit of gloss and mix it with a clear gloss and
we’re going to dab with our fingertips versus using a brush. It’s
going to do a more natural application—very glossy, very healthy
looking.

So the next step, we’re going to the eyelashes. We definitely need
to use a lash curler. Why do we use this? Because it makes the
eyes like brighter, more open, and more flirty.

Straight lashes create a shadow on the wet of the eye. So when we
curl that up, the eyes become clear looking—that’s imparting the
look of youthfulness.

We go to the root of the lash. Pulse it five times—one, two, three,
four, five—open it, go to the middle—one, two, three, four, five—
and then to the tip—one, two, three, four, five.

Pulse and curlier lashes when you go to apply your mascara,
you’re actually going to see the eyelashes now. Curl the lashes first
then apply the mascara. That will prevent any breakage.

Have you looking down; when applying the mascara, rake it that
way. The lashes go in between the tines of the spooly. I'm keeping
my fingertip behind the lashes, that way I prevent any smudging
onto the eyelid.

So the next step is going to be the highlights. So we’re going to use
a little bit of glow. This is a very fine mineral; we use this
underneath the arch of the brow—along the top of the cheek
bone—in the corner of the eye; definitely catch more light and
make the eyes look very dough-eyed, very big and bright.

So our last step is to apply liquid crystals. This is liquefied crystals
and of vegetable starch, and it’s like millions of mirrors on a skin;
and as it reflects the light, it refracts the light, it blurs
imperfections, it makes it look more glowy, and youthful and
dewy. So we’re gong to hit the tops of the cheek bone—other
side—and then smile; and there you have the appearance of post
aqueous.

Beautiful.
