We may deny it but there are some days where we’re just in a hurry and there really isn’t any time to do our make-up. That’s why we turn to Tyra Banks for inspiration when it comes to a well made-up face. Here’s how to copy the camera-ready Tyra look in just five minutes.
Step 1: Foundation
Pat dots of foundation onto your cheeks, chin, nose and forehead. Then use your brush or sponge to blend it gently across your face, jaw and neck area evenly.
Step 2: Eyeshadow
Using a flat-tipped eyeshadow brush, apply a lighter nude shade right under your eyebrow down to the crease of the eye. Using a bigger eyeshadow brush, sweep the colour of the day shade from your lashes to the crease and then blend it with the first colour where they meet.
Step 3: Mascara and eyeliner
Place the mascara at the lash roots then gently pull up through the lashes to darken, give length and thicken the lashes. Begin applying your eyeliner moving from the outside edge to inward. Mascara and eyeliner are key to making your eyes stand out.
Step 4: Blush
Apply a toned down colour blush shades like peach or bronze to achieve a natural flush to match your own skin tone. Start from your apple cheeks and stroke back towards your ears.
Step 5: Lipstick
Stretch your lips and start applying your lipstick from the centre and work your way outwards to the corners of your lips.
