   A young woman in her 20s has fully developed features and should start wearing makeup to emphasize her best assets.  She should wear colors that compliment her skin tone and eye color.  At this age, she can still wear bright colors and makeup with shimmer.

 

Application

  • Curl eyelashes with an eyelash curler.
  • Apply one coat of black mascara; use brown if eyelashes are very blonde.  Let that dry and apply another coat.
  • Use eyeliner to make a thin line as close to eyelashes as possible on both top and bottom or just the top.  Do not put eyeliner on bottom lash line without putting it on top as well.
  • Apply a highlighter (light) color to the entire eyelid.
  • Apply an accent eye shadow (dark) color beginning at the outer corner of the eye and blend inward.  Keep this color on the crease of the eyelid and below and allow the lighter shade to show through as it gets closer to the inside corner of the eye.
  • Use a concealer to cover any blemishes, redness or dark circles.
  • Apply a foundation shade that is as close to the color of the neck as possible.  It may be necessary to have a different shade for summer and winter.  Be sure to blend the foundation well around the border of the face and jaw so there is not a foundation line.
  • Use blush by placing the brush on the cheek bone starting at the hairline and pull inward following the cheek bone and lifting the brush off over the apples of the cheeks.
  • Use a lip liner that closely matches the lipstick or lip gloss that will be worn and line the lips.  Do not line outside the natural lip line.
  • After lining, fill in lips with the lip liner so the lip color lasts longer.
  • Apply lipstick to all of the lips.
  • For longer lasting lip color or to lighten or darken the lipstick shade, apply lip gloss over the lipstick.
