Module 10: Advanced techniques
Cut crease eye makeup
Key points
- A cut crease defines the socket line sharply with a darker shade.
- Concealer is used to cut a clean line through the crease.
- The lid is then filled with a lighter or shimmer shade.
Halo eye makeup
Key points
- A halo eye has a light or shimmer shade in the centre of the lid.
- Darker shades sit on the inner and outer corners.
- Blending the edges creates a soft, glowing ring.
Baking technique
Key points
- Baking means leaving loose powder on concealed areas for a few minutes.
- The skin's warmth helps set the concealer and reduce creasing.
- Dust off the extra powder with a fluffy brush.
Colour theory for makeup artists
Key points
- Opposite colours on the colour wheel cancel each other out.
- Peach or orange correctors neutralise dark circles; green tones down redness.
- Undertones are warm, cool or neutral and guide shade choice.
