Face with a Heart Mastering Authentic Beauty Makeup

The Heart is Off limits

One of the chief purposes of  Face with a Heart is to isolate eyes and lips to feature them as main attractions.

The first three steps in the Face with a Heart order of application is eyes, skin, then lips.

It is after the first 3 steps is where I say the Heart is off limits (except when using bronzer)

The heart of the face is the area within the red lines.

This ‘heart’ shape (the eyebrows being the top of the heart and then straight lines extending between the outer corner of the eyes and lips being the side of the heart) Is where lies your eyes and lips. This is the heart of the face.

Eyes and lips are your main attractions so we isolate them within a field of neutral skin tone so there are no facial coloring distractions within the ‘heart’ to take focus away from the eyes and lips.

This is a subtle distinction and goes unnoticed unless you train your eye to see it.

Here are some examples from public domain pro print work respecting this distinction:

Notice how the area inside the dotted line towards the nose is clear of any color/distractions.

Then notice how shading such as contour and blush start just outside this line.

This invisible heartline is the premise for maximizing your eyes and lips as well as face shape.

Think of the invisible heartline as where the face turns the corner. It is just outside the heartline where shading and blush begin to pull the area outside the heartline back and away from the heart of the face.

Here are examples of my clients using the Face with a Heart technique to reduce distractions and enhance attractions.

All of these clients took a hands-on makeup lesson from me which means they did half of the makeup.

These images illustrate that regardless of age, ethnicity or desired intensity of makeup, the Face with a Heart method of application translates to every face.

Most people apply their makeup generally, and they look generally good. Let’s face it, a little mascara brightens up the eyes.

However there are some people who apply their makeup specifically, and although we cannot put our finger on it, they look specifically good.

Face with a Heart is a clear and precise method to apply your makeup specifically. It clarifies all your questions about what goes where and why.

If you want to look specifically good without ever being overdone, Face with a Heart Mastering Authentic Beauty Makeup will  show you the way. Along with the book, there are online videos to visualize the application so you too may master your makeup!

A complimentary e-book comes with every
paperback purchase from Amazon.

This contour series will feature the following topics.

Part one: The heart is off limits.

Part two: Finding and enhancing your cheekbones.

Part Three: Bronzer and how it applies to contouring.

Part 4: Blush- A happy pill for the face.

Note: This series of video tutorials is organized in a specific order of application. It is not necessary to do every step when you do your makeup but I do suggest you follow the order of the videos and skip the steps that don’t apply to you.

This bugs me.   Get This. Get That For Free!

Have you ever seen an offer where you get what you want, and you also get something you don’t want for free.

It appears to give greater value to what you are getting by getting more for free.

More often than not, the free thing is worth what you paid for it. 0!

I have shuddered to make such an offer as I only wish to offer true value with every correspondence I send.

Lightbulb on!

Instead of enticing you with free stuff, I decided to raise the value of what I already offer.

Makeup Gourmet currently pairs Value Bundles. Value Bundles are pairs of items that naturally go together. These Value Bundles are offered at a lower combined cost as a value to the Makeup Gourmet customer.

I believe in the Value Bundles as I painstakingly paired them to make your life a little easier and affordable.

Here’s my crazy idea!

For the month of July, I selected a handful of popular Value Bundles and am making them Summer Specials. Instead of reducing the combined cost, I decided to give the lower cost item free!

I cannot do this forever and stay in business, I just wanted a way to make this kind of offer without insulting your intelligence by giving something of no value as a way to encourage a purchase.

These are GREAT offers. Check them out. Pass them around. This is good until July 31, 2016.

Gloss Attracts Attention

Gloss reflects light.

Light attracts attention.

Wear Gloss.

Attract attention.

Gloss is to lips what mascara is to eyes.

These two simple additions pull focus to your faces main attractions, lips and eyes.

Mascara & Lip Gloss Value Bundle

Gloss can be glaringly obvious and distracting when over used. Unless you are trending lips (what you want people to see first), here is some gloss advice.

To maximize light reflection on the lips, apply vertically with the grain of the lip’s skin tissue. Light will bounce best off the lips when applied this way. Keep gloss slightly within the edge of the lip line to allow room for gloss spread, which inevitably happens when lips rub together.

Gloss Tips

One of the easiest, long-lasting and impact producing techniques
is to fill in lips with a lip pencil first…

…and then top with a clear or very sheer color lip gloss.

Hair gets in gloss

This is a pain. I always use to blame thick gloss until I understood the higher purpose of thick gloss.

Thin gloss evaporates quickly taking color with it. That is why thinner lip gloss needs to be reapplied so often.

Thicker gloss acts as an environmental seal by not evaporating quickly, and keeping lip color underneath it in place.

Press a very thin layer of a thicker gloss and color will last longer and hair will stick less to lips .

Please remember

Gloss has oil in it. Oil is used to remove makeup. If you spread gloss over lip color, it will break down that color very quickly. It is better to press gloss with a lip brush over lip pencil and/or lipstick than spread it around.

Here are some Lip Gloss Value Bundles to make using gloss easy and affordable.

Photoshop Perfect Lips In Real Time

After lip color is applied, here is a quick and easy technique to achieve perfection with the appearance of your lips.

All you need is a:

Fine angled brush (preferably synthetic, like an eyebrow color brush)

Any one of these types of products:

Foundation

Corrector or Concealer

Powder

Here is all you do:

After lip color is fully applied, use the thin crisp edge of the angled brush to ‘clean up’ along the outer edge of the lips.

This surprisingly easy technique takes lip color application from good to perfect.

Tall Lips Are Full Lips

Just as with eye makeup, there are multiple ways to approach lips.

To enhance your Face with a Heart think ‘Eyes Wide – Lips Tall’.

Many desire to have their lips appear more full and/or balanced in size between the upper and lower lip.

Most of these people do not want it to appear they have drawn lip liner outside their natural lip line to enhance the appearance of their lips.

Let me share a little secret. The trick is to make lips appear more tall by enhancing the ‘pillow’ of the lip.

The pillow is the center of the mouth where lips are most full in the first place.

By enhancing the ‘pillow’ of the lips, lips appear more full without appearing falsely applied.

How:

Lip liner is used to define the shape of the lips. It can simultaneously re-define the shape of the lips plus provide asymmetrical correction.

Bottom Lip Liner

The concept is to make the bottom lip appear as a glass of water that is being tipped so that the water has come right up to the edge of the glass. It appears at any moment the water will spill out of the glass but it doesn’t.

• Begin by using a lip pencil to enhance the center of the mouth.

• Trace along the natural lip line at the center of the bottom lip.

• Then allow the lip liner to drop just below the center of the lip line to create the appearance of fullness to the center of the bottom lip.

• Where the bottom lip begins to curve upwards towards the outer corner of the mouth, sketch a strong straight line to the inside corner of the outer corners of the lips.

• Fill the interior of the liner into the lip a little to really connect the new shape liner to the lip.

• This illusion will push the center of the mouth more forward and keep lips from looking too wide.

Top Lip Liner

The concept here is to create a slightly swollen appearance to the upper lip from just outside the center ‘V’ to halfway down the upper lip. This will create height and fullness to the upper lip.

• Start by sketching in the ‘V’ shape at the center of the upper lip. Strive for symmetry.

• Next sketch the top lip line from the peak of the ‘V’ of the upper lip to the inside corner of the outer corners of the mouth.

• Then, if more fullness is desired, slightly round above the lip line from the peak of the ‘V’ to halfway down the upper lip.

• It is vital that the lip line appear connected to the actual lip line so build up from the existing lip line will create this effect successfully.

• Fill the interior of the liner into the lip a little to really connect the new shape liner to the lip.

• Finally, sketch with a lip brush along the lip liner to soften the interior edge and marry it to the lips.

A Modern Lip Means Your Lips Are That Color

Just as with eye makeup, there are multiple ways to approach lips.

The next 4 blog posts focus on lips alone.

A technique that most boasts the Face with a Heart  method is The Modern Lip.

In short, it appears your lips are that color and not wearing that color.

Rethinking Lip Liner

Lip liner pencil is a thirsty formula designed to absorb creamier pigment (lipstick).

Lip liner is traditionally designed to frame the shape of the lips and absorb lipstick so it does not bleed past the frame of the lips.

By using it in the Modern Lip Method, lip liner acts as a sponge and pulls lipstick down into the lip for a more natural and longer lasting stain on the lips.

Here is how I get it to work.

• Pick a lip pencil similar to the lip color you want to use.

 • Fill in the entire lip with lip pencil.

• Brush the lip pencil pigment vigorously into the top layer of the lip skin with a lip brush.

• Next apply a thin layer of lip color (lipstick) in the same fashion with the lip brush.

• Apply as many layers as needed to achieve the density of lip color desired.

You will experience longer lasting lip color that appears as your lips are that color and not wearing that color.

Foundation: Top Coat For Your Skin

How to Pick the Right Foundation Shade

Please refer to these posts to know what Correctors are and how to use them.

What are Correctors?

How to use Correctors

Things to remember for the best foundation application

• Within the heart of the face is where the finish is most flawless.

• Once outside the heart line, the foundation can diminish from a level 10 to a level 1 as it moves towards the jawline and hairline.

• Always completely blend out what is on the skin before applying more  foundation to the skin. Create a thin veil of coverage that can be built on when and where it is needed.

• Do not apply an additional layer of foundation over a layer you just applied. This gives time for the existing layer to set (dry).

• Allow the brush to flick off the jawline rather than run the brush along the edge of the jaw line. This will create a disappearing finish as opposed to a border finish along the jaw line.

• Finally, use the corrector brush to apply the foundation very thinly under the eye area in the same shape as the corrector. In most scenarios, this provides all the coverage necessary under the eye area.

The best advice when applying foundation is:

“where you need it-when you need it.”

Jojoba Liquid Foundation

When developing my products, the last significant piece was foundation. Being a veteran in the makeup field, my criteria was set extremely high. Until I found a formula that met all my expectations, I was not going to offer a second-rate substitute. Foundation is that important.

Then I (re)discovered jojoba oil. After understanding its properties, I chose it as the ‘slip’ for my foundations.

Here is what makes jojoba oil great.

1. High similarity to sebum

What makes it so unique compared to other seed oils is that jojoba oil is structurally and chemically very similar to the human sebum. This is because sebum is also largely comprised of wax mono esters, the primary constituent of jojoba oil. In most cases, it can act as a substitute while giving similar or added benefits compared to sebum.

This is what makes jojoba oil ideal for foundation. Our natural skin sebum (oil) and jojoba oil are so identical that they bond almost completely. This is how Jojoba Liquid Foundation makes skin look like skin.

2. Extremely safe to use

Jojoba oil is non-toxic, non-comedogenic and non-allergenic. This means that it will not clog pores and will not cause any allergic reactions. It is also not an irritant, so it can safely be used around the eyes and on the skin. In addition to that, it does not cause a greasy feeling when used on the skin like other oils do.

3. It has a high content of beneficial minerals and Vitamin E

It contains many different varieties of tocopherols which make up Vitamin E and many other natural minerals. Vitamin E is well known for promoting healthy and clear skin.

4. It prevents damage from free radicals

Jojoba oil is an antioxidant and protects you from the damaging effects of free radicals, which is believed to contribute or cause various chronic diseases and cancer.

5. It is antibacterial

Most bacteria including Staphylococcus aureus and the fungus Candida albicans cannot reproduce and die when they come into contact with jojoba oil. In fact, it is so antibacterial that it can be used as a fungicide to control mildew.

I know, a lot of info. It matters how significant any ingredient is if you are going to put it all over your face. That is why I love jojoba oil.

Here are two Foundation Application demo videos
