Step 1: Set up the area and get all the products ready. Ask model if she has any allergies and was she wearing contact lenses. Told your model that you are going to wash your hands before getting started. Put the apron on the model. Clip the model’s hair away from the face as not to make her hair greasy and then cleanse tone and moisturize the model’s face before applying makeup.
2:
Make sure the eyebrows are clean and dry. You can apply the toner before
getting started to make sure the eyebrows are clean.
3: Use
the metal spatula to scrape out some glue and put it on the back of your hand.
Remember to apply quickly on the brows as the glue will dry quickly. Apply the
glue using the metal spatula so the glue will not stick on your fingers.
4:
Apply the glue on the eyebrows in opposite directions to the hair growth first
and then directions to the hair growth. This will make sure all the areas on
the brows are cover with glue and smooth the hairs down (making the brows go
flat and smooth). Press hardly on the eyebrows with your finger following the
directions of the hair growth, to make the hairs are as flat as possible.
5:
Repeat applying the glue and press the eyebrows hardly until the hairs are as
flat and as smooth as you want it to be. Use the cotton bud and wet it with
water to remove excess glue around the eyebrows.
6: Because
the pritt stick is smooth, it gives a shiny effect under the makeup so in order
to avoid this happen, when the glue is a little bit tacky, apply powder and
press on top of it with a puff.
Step
7: Apply the rich liquid foundation (white base) to cover the colours on the
eyebrows.
Using
soap:
Step
1: Make sure the eyebrows are clean and dry. You can apply the toner before
getting started to make sure the eyebrows are clean.2: Soak the soap in warm water and rub the angle brush over the soap in circular motion to create thick cream paste on the brush. Get some soap on the back of your hand and start applying it onto the brows in opposite directions of the hair growth first and then directions to the hair growth (Backwards and forwards).
3:
Press hardly on the eyebrows with your finger following the directions of the
hair growth, to make the hairs are as flat as possible.
4:
Repeat the same steps (applying the soap and press hardly across the eyebrows)
until the hairs on the brows are smooth and lies flat to the skin.
5:
Use a cotton bud to remove any excess soap around the eyebrows with water.
6: Apply
the rich liquid foundation (White base) to cover the colours on the eyebrows.
White Eyelashes
Scrape some white colour from the supracolor palette on the back
of your hand and you can wet the white colour with alcohol or water. Put the
disposable mascara in it and go through the eyelashes.
For natural skin colour
Use
the rosey pink colour from the supracolor palette to cover the colours on the
eyebrows because it takes out dark colours. Use a sponge or a soft brush to
stipple the colour on the eyebrows (no rubbing!). Then cover the colour by
stippling the foundation base (Try to match the colour of the model’s skin
tone). For natural skin colour
Red
cheeks
Use
the red colour blush and apply it to the apples of the cheeks (not on
cheekbones) as Elizabethan makeup just apply on the apples of the cheeks.

Thoughts about the lesson:
Before I have learnt the techniques of blocking the colours on the eyebrows in this lesson, I didn’t know that people block the colours on the eyebrows using pritt stick and soap and I think it is very interesting. In this lesson, I have experimented with the two different methods (using soap and pritt stick) and I prefer the pritt stick one as it is faster and easier to get the brows hairs lie flat and smooth while using soap, I need to do at least 5 times to get the brows hairs as smooth and as flat as I want it to be. In order to improve next time, I should balance the red colours on the cheeks more and apply the rich liquid foundation thicker to cover the colours on the face properly.
