MASCARA:
Use any ME color with a mascara wand and Mineral Mist as a mascara, for a soft natural look. (See Diagram 5A)

EYESHADOW:
For a simple Natural look try the following:

1. Using the flat side of the Eye Shadow Brush, pick up desired color, swirl into cap to capture color into the brush and tap off excess.

2. Place flat side of brush on the center lid and sweep toward outer and inner eye, using a "wind shield wiper" motion. (See Diagram 6A)

3. With a slightly darker color, using the tip of the brush, pick up color, swirl into cap to capture color into the brush tap off excess.

4. Place tip of brush on the center crease of the eye lid and sweep toward outer and inner eye, using a "wind shield wiper" motion. (See Diagram 6B)

5. Wipe off brush with tissue and starting at the center lashline and finishing toward the brow, gently sweep, using a "wind shield wiper" motion, over entire lid to blend colors together. (See Diagram 6C)

BLUSH:

Blush placement is very trendy and depends on the desired over all look you wish to achieve. For a current, natural look:

1. Using the Angled Blush Brush, pick up desired color and swirl into cap to capture color into the brush. Tap off the excess.

2. Place angled part of brush on the cheek bone just under the outer corner of the eye, to make a dot of color. (See Diagram 7A)

3. Repeat step 2 on opposite cheek, making a matching dot.

4. Still using the angled part of the brush, blend first dot back toward the ear.

5. Repeat step 4 on opposite side.

6. Still using the angled part of the brush, blend first dot toward the apple of the cheek.

7. Repeat step 6 on opposite side.
Working in small steps and alternating from one side of the face to the other, will insure an even and symmetrical application.

TIP: Start the steps on the side that is most difficult for you; if you are right handed this will most likely be your left side and if you are left handed this will most likely be your right side. It is easier to match your "good" side to your "bad" side, but it is almost impossible to match your "bad" side to your "good" side".

LIPS:
You can use any ME color mixed with the ME Clear Gloss to create a custom lip color:

1. Using the ME Clear Gloss wand, roll gloss off onto the back of your hand.

2. Using the Lip Brush, scoop up desired color and mix with the gloss.

3. Apply to lips using the Lip Brush. (See Diagram 8A)
