Here’s a clip from Tyra’s tv show where she shows you how to go from fresh washed to fabulous in just minutes using her own personal makeup routine. I love seeing her unmade face at the beginning of this. She’s a regular gal!

See Part Two of Tyra’s makeup routine here.

I found a great video that demonstrates how to create a smokey eyes effect using three makeup brushes and three eyeshadow colors. Listen carefully to which brush he is using at each step. The “window wiper” application is very effective!

Three brushes: smudge brush, blender brush, flat shadow brush
Three eye shadow colors: Dark, light, and medium tone (use black for the dark)
You will also need an eyeliner pencil.

The only thing I don’t recommend is the way the makeup artist is pulling and stretching the model’s face to apply the makeup. That kind of treatment to her skin will end up causing more wrinkles in the long run. It’s not necessary to do in order to get this effect. Be gentle on your skin, especially around your eyes. Skin is made to stretch, but be reasonable if you want to preserve what youth you have left!
