So by now I'm quite sure that you have all seen the pics of Taraji Henson's makeup disaster!! Well I'm going to tell you how to aviod this very common mistake, of the extra light raccoon eye, because honestly this could happen to anyone unfortunatly it happened to Taraji....
As you can see from the photos below that Taraji's makeup is a classic smokey look perfect for the red carpet if it wasn't for the extra light circles under her eyes..... Many times an MUA will add an extra layer of translucent powder under the eye to 'catch' any falling eyeshadow so not to stain the skin then you will have a whole other set of problems. There are 2 ways to fix this problem, first continue with your usual foundation first and powder to 'catch' falling shadow but make sure you brush away all powder and even follow up with a small bit of bronzer under the eye so it looks more even like the rest of the skintone. Or you can apply a light layer of concealer, do the eye makeup wipe away any excess shadow that may have fallen during application and THEN apply your foundation and blend. This is a surefire way to make sure that your application is flawless. And remember when all else fails pull out YOUR camera and take a pic with the flash on to check for mishaps just like this one, those flashing lights will get you every time......
Until next time B Beautiful everyone!!
