Hi, my name is Tanya Marie, and I'm a makeup artist. Today, I'm going to show you how to apply heavy makeup for brunettes. And, tools you'll need are a kabuki brush, your foundation, your mascara, your blush brush, your blush, and a dark lip gloss. Let's get started. First, you grab your kabuki brush and your foundation, and you want to swirl it in your foundation. Wipe the excess off, and you're going to start from the interior to exterior of your face in a circular motion, like so. Going in a circular motion gives you a heavier coverage. Blend into your neck. And then, you grab your blush brush and your blush, and you're going to apply it on the apples of your cheeks, and take it up in, like, a moon shaped here. And, the apples of your cheeks, and take it up on the moon shape, like so. And, you're going to do the same for the other side. And then, you're going to grab your mascara, and you're going to go in a circular motion. Never pump your mascara. You're going to have air bubbles that'll create clumps in your eye shadow. And then, you're going to go in a circular motion, defining each and every lash on both eyes. And, last but not least, apply your darker lip gloss. You're going to start on the bottom of your lip, press, then apply it to the upper lip. And, that's all to it. And, that's how you apply heavy makeup for brunettes. Your most important tool here is your kabuki brush. My name is Tanya Marie. Thanks for watching!
