Skin Prep and Foundation Base:
Starting with a clean toned hydrated skin suggest: Jan Benham Cosmetics cleanser and toner.
Step one - Apply Primer
The moisturiser acts like a primer which lessons or even eliminates the need for concealer. Our moisturiser contains natural vegetable derived silica for a silky and smooth finish. Apply using fingertips over the entire face and neck.
Step Two - Apply our mineral foundation and/or concealer corrector
1a. Concealers or colour correctors are, if applied, to be used under the foundation. We carry three Correctors.
Corrector Mint - is a light green colour corrector to reduce the redness in your skin. It is a safe and effective way to neutralize and correct rosacea, rosacea or red spots in the face with make-up.
Corrector Lilac - neutralizes yellow. To be used on yellowish, bruises or 'yellow spots' in the face. This colour is often used around the eyes and especially on the eyelids as the basis for the eyeshadow. Gives a fresh look at the glance as it can be used to correct a grey-yellow skin colour.
Corrector Brighten-Up - has a transparent soft yellow colour that fuses with your skin. Brighten Up corrects dark circles under the eyes and neutralizes discoloration, so that all the attention is drawn to the beautiful features of your face.
1b. Primer Veils can also be used. We carry two Primers.
The Poreless is suitable for light skin and has a light, translucent shine. The Flawless on the other hand is matte and more suitable for the light toned skin .
The above can be alone as is or mixed with foundation for the perfect colour match
Application of colour correctors: Apply any of the colour correctors over specific area on the face using an eyeshadow brush or, if applying to the entire face use a Kabuki Brush.
2. Apply foundation – Can be applied as above as a powdered mineral foundation or, if wanting a little more coverage, make a liquid foundation. To do this, mix the powder 1 : 1 with a small amount of moisturiser on the back of your hand or in the palette on the moisturiser and apply with fingertips to your face. Note: You can cut down on your makeup time by applying only to areas that need it. We carry two lines of mineral foundation.
Choosing the right colour foundation is the first step to creating the most natural look. Two shades of foundation may be needed to get the right colouring for skin imperfections.

- Remember our foundation is highly pigmented and concentrated so a little will go a long way and you can always add more to specific areas if need be.
- Make sure the foundation blends well, if one application of the foundation does not cover, then try another. Two thin layers are better than one thick one. You might need to blend two shades together to obtain the perfect skin tone colour match.
- Always remove your make-up at night with flawless cleansing lotion and follow with a toner to allow your skin to breath.

4. Apply Eye shadow and Kajal Eye Liner
As an eyeliner, apply Kajal eye liner to the outer corner of the eye only and do an ‘up-tick’ at the outer corner.
Recommend: Bedroom eyes (Black/Grey) kajal pencil for a sultry look, Allure (Bronze/brown) Kajal pencil for blue eyes, Navy Kajal pencil for dark skin.
In the evening you can be more dramatic with applying Eye shadow to the crease which is located between the brow bone and the eye. Apply with a blending brush. Suggest: Dark Sand and Shiny Vanilla with the dark sand being on the outside and in above the crease and Shiny Vanilla on the inside. Other popular duos include Allure and Champagne and Pink Ice and Purple.
Champagne and Pearl white are both highlighters that can be used under the eyebrow and on the inside of the eyelid.
The look in the picture can be created using the following eye makeup: champagne highlighter, Allure eye shadow on the out eyelid and in the crease, shiny vanilla on the upper inside eyelid and allure kajal liner under the eyes!
A makeup artist secret is to apply a shimmery white eyeshadow to the inner corner of the eye and then dot on the centre of the eyelid and just under the eyebrow arch. This makes eyes look brighter and more awake. Suggest Pearl white eye shadow
