今年1月幫Sheffield老友Bo的女友Qiang化妝
畢業典禮的妝應該要看起來自然
不管近看或照相都不能有妝感過重的感覺

畢業典禮是下午
當天要幫Qiang與她媽咪化妝
因為有可能錯過午餐
當天還準備了迎賓茶點（笑）
以下介紹當天妝容
///底妝
既然是自然妝容，底妝就要清透
化妝前晚，我請Qiang與媽媽敷近年超紅的韓國安瓶面膜
當天兩人皮膚狀況都很好，沒有太乾與脫屑狀況
除了安瓶面膜很神奇外，是因為Qiang跟媽媽的膚底原本就非常好
因為兩人膚況很好，沒有太多保養步驟，化妝水後就直接上妝前乳
要有一個漂亮的底妝，妝前乳的部分不能省略
（韓國與日本妹妹的底妝都很美就是很注重「下地」的概念）
因要達到輕透效果，我使用的粉底量很少
§小提醒§
一定要使用刷具與海綿，才能將極少量的粉底均勻修飾全臉
英國不像台灣濕熱容易暈妝，只用了少量的粉定妝
底妝完成

///眉‧眼妝
Qiang的眉型與紋理本來就好看
所以只要修掉過多雜毛，順著眉型畫就可以
完成後還有使用眉刷刷淡眉色讓眉型看起來更自然

Qiang原本就有雙眼皮
但為了讓眼睛更有神，還是在眼摺加了兩小段膠帶，讓眼摺更明顯
眼影我使用淡咖啡色系，並使用淡粉紅色打底

§小提醒§
眼影盒中常會有「不知該如何使用的顏色」，如淡粉紅或淡寶藍色，這些飽和度低但又不常見的顏色多數是用來打底的
而眼影打底的動作很重要，有了這些打底色，接下來蓋上去的顏色才會顯色
雖然希望妝感自然
眼睛還是要假睫毛才會有神
Qiang的眼睛弧度很好看，但是屬於眼寬較短
所以我使用交叉且前短後長型的假睫毛，可幫助眼睛看起來更長更大
§小提醒§
很多新娘想要自然妝感會很抗拒假睫毛，其實假睫毛只要選擇不過份纖長與濃密的類型，也可達到有神但看起來自然的效果。
畫了上下眼線與打亮臥蠶後，眼妝完成。
§小提醒§
分不清眼袋還是臥蠶？想要找到正確的臥蠶位置，可對鏡子笑一笑，眼下突起的地方就是臥蠶。
///修容
除了眼下與T字打亮外
Qiang的眼距較寬
為了拉近眼距，刻意打亮鼻樑並在鼻梁旁打上陰影
§小提醒§
眉粉與國外品牌中深色的修容都可拿來打陰影，但是下筆要輕，才不會變成白鼻心XDDD
刷上腮紅，修容完成。

///唇妝
使用遮瑕蓋住原本唇色後
幫Qiang上了一個偏桃紅的口紅
並在唇峰M字處用米白色帶亮粉眼影打亮
§小提醒§
眼影盤中亮白色或亮米色都可微量使用在唇峰處讓唇型更立體。
整體妝容完成
感謝Bo幫我們記錄拍照~
也附上當日Qiang媽咪的成果照，我們下次見: )

I did Qiang’s makeup for her graduation.
The makeup for graduation should look natural no matter in person or in a photo.
The ceremony was in the afternoon.
I needed to finish Qiang and her mum’s makeup in the morning.
Therefore, I also prepared some refreshments because the time we need for makeup might delay lunch.

Below are details of Qiang’s makeup:
///Base
Since makeup for graduation should look really nature, the base needed to be light and flawless.
The night before her graduation, I asked Qiang and her mum to apply masks to help skin hold sufficient water.
Their skin condition was really good on that day-neither dry skin nor spots.
The good skin condition resulted from the masks and their born beauty: )
Because their good skin condition, I did not apply too much moisturizer.
I applied primer directly after toner.
(Korean and Japanese girls always have flawless base because primer is very important process in their makeup)
To achieve a light and flawless base, I applied really little amount of foundation.
§Tips§
To make the little amount of foundation evenly on your face, you must use foundation brush and sponge.
UK’s weather is not hot and humid, so makeup in UK can last longer than in tropical countries.
After little amount of powder, the base was finished: )
///Eyebrows & Eyes
The shape and current of Qiang’s eyebrows are naturally really beautiful.
I just needed to shave extra hair and apply eyebrow powder along with the shape.
The last step of brushing away extra powder was also very important for perfect eyebrows.
Qiang already had double-fold eyelids, but I still applied tapes on her eyelids to make the folds more obvious.
This way can make her eyes look bigger and more charming.
For eye shadows, I chose light brown and used light pink as base.
§Tips§
There are very often “colours that seem so difficult to apply” in eye shadow boxes such as light pink and light blue. Those rare and low-saturation colours are very often base colour for eye shadows. With those base colours, colours you apply afterwards will be more vivid.
Although the result I wanted to achieve was a natural look, eyes still need false lashes to become more fascinating.
I chose one pair with hair overlapping and longer ends because Qiang’s eye widths were slightly narrow.
This type of false lashes can help the eyes look wider and bigger.
§Tips§
Lots of brides who prefer “a natural look” would avoid wearing false lashes. On the contrary, to choose false lashes with adequate length and density of hair will make your eyes look fascinating and natural.
After applying eyeliner and filling out water lines, I also highlight “silkworm area” underneath eyes.
Here came the finished eyes : )
§Tips§
Cannot tell the difference between puffiness or silkworm area of eyes? If you want to find the right place of “silkworm area”, just smile in front of a mirror, the rising area is the place you want to highlight.
///Contour
I highlighted the C area beneath eyes and the T area across forehead and nose.
The distance between Qiang’s two eyes was a bit wide.
In order to shorten the distance, I highlighted the upper part of her nose and created shadows next to her nose.
§Tips§
Eyebrow powder and shadowing power both can be used for shadowing. However, touch of your brush should be gentle and light, or your will accidently create “a masked palm civet.”
With a gentle touch of blusher, the contour was done.
///Lip
I first applied concealer on Qiang’s lips, and I chose a colour very close to fuchsia for a young and lovely look.
Her lip peak was highlighted with glittering beige eye colour.
Lovely lips were finished: )
§Tips§
Glittering beige or white colour in eye shadow box is very good tool to make your lips’ shape more perfect.
Qiang’s total look was done!
Thank Bo for being our photographer~
Here I also attach the finish look of Qiang’s mum.
See you next time: )
