Avril Showers Bring May Flowers: Avril Lavigne Makeup 2010, 2011 Trends
If you’ve ever seen young punk artist Avril Lavigne, then you may have wondered how exactly to achieve some of her looks. The one that was chosen for this tutorial is more wearable then most.
You will need: black mascara, black eyeshadow, nude pink eyeshadow, orangey-pink shine lipstick, and black eyeliner.
First, you need to feel out where you’re going to put your makeup. This may seem a bit odd, but it’s much easier than it seems. In this style, she is wearing eyeshadow that is shaped as it does outside of her eyes. The shape can be felt out using your eye socket. Start at your crease, and then slowly move outward with your finger. Feel that little hollow on the outer corner of your eye? This is where you want your eyeshadow to extend out to. Make sure to try and keep it in that shape.
Apply your black eyeshadow on your lid, up to your crease. Then take it at the corner of your eye and begin to extend it. Be really careful to keep it within the little hollow mentioned before. Then bring it back to your eye at the bottom, sloping in to the lash line. Go across the lash line thinly to give a smoky effect. Then apply the nude pink from the crease upwards. Make sure to gently blend the two, but to keep the black in the crease.
Take your eyeliner and line both your top lid’s lash line, thinly, and your bottom waterline. You can tightline (line the top waterline) if you wish.
Use your mascara next. Top and bottom lashes.
For your lipstick, use an orange-pink color. Think like a peach with a grapefruit’s insides type of tint. This look doesn’t use lip gloss. The lip color needs to have a lot of shine.
After that, voila! You can use a warm, tannish-pink blush to add a bit of warmth to this look if you wish. After that, you’re done!
HOW TO ROCK NUDE LIP COLOR
HOW TO ROCK NUDE LIP COLOR
If you want a look that is bold and fun, then you might consider a nude color on your lips. I know what you’re thinking: you want your lip color to pop, right? Don’t worry! You can achieve a look with nude lipstick just as easily as you can with a fiery, red shade of lipstick! Here’s why: The normal color of your lips is not “nude” per-say. The skin on your arms, hands, and face is nude, but for most people, the natural lips have a very different color. Usually, your natural lips are going have a pink shade to them, which is why wearing a “nude” color is bound to stand out so dramatically.
Oftentimes, we will see high fashion models sporting a nude lip color on the runway. This is often used as a means to highlight dramatic eye makeup. Keep in mind, however, that it is difficult to choose the “right” shade of nude lip color. You must get a shade that matches your skin tone perfectly; otherwise you will create a slightly awkward look, which could even be unflattering.
The nude lip color does not suit everybody; however, it is becoming increasingly high fashion. If you want to wear this bold look, then be sure to use a vibrant eye makeup style. This will keep your face from having its color flushed out. Many people who wear this color incorrectly end up looking as though they are sick or recovering from an illness. Bold is sexy, if you know how to use it.

APPLYING STAGE MAKEUP
APPLYING STAGE MAKEUP
Stage makeup can be difficult when applied. Almost all of the usual makeup worn on everyday life is magnified in order for it to work on stage. Even though you think that you have applied too much makeup, you may still look pale when faced with the stage lights.
When applying stage makeup, always start with the foundation. It should be extremely thick applied to both the face and neck. Men and people with short hair should also have their backs applied with foundation. When it is fairly thick, cheek color is next. For the ladies, make sure that it is dark enough to look like you are indeed wearing makeup. It should give you a rosy cheek look on stage. The men are only given a paler cheek color just enough to not make them look pale.
The most difficult part is the eye portion. Eye makeup is first done with a white highlighter applied to the brow bone and in the areas under your eyes. Blend it well so no white lines are visible yet the areas are highlighted. A tone darker than your natural skin tone should be applied above your eyelids and a much darker shade for the lower lid.
The lipstick for men and women should only be a little darker than the natural lip color. Loose powder is applied last to keep the makeup in place. Make sure that you apply this carefully because it can ruin the total makeup if there are lumps in your powder container.
