Basics on Make-Up Application.



Hey guys! In this post, I am going to explain what we all mean when we use words such as "tearduct", "contour" and "lashline". I'm also going to show how you where these are, and how to apply make-up to the area/in this way.

CONTOURING
This is when we apply a bronzer/ dark shade of blush underneath the cheekbones, to make them appear more defined.
You can do this by applying blush on this area on your doll. This area has been highlighted blue on the picture to help you!

HIGHLIGHTING
This is when we apply a highlighter/ light blush to highlight/ bring light to parts of the face. On Stardoll, it can also help to blend bright/ darker blushes.
You can do this by applying a light blush to this area. This area has been highlighted green on the picture to help you!

EYES
LID
This is the part of the eyelid that is closest to the eyelashes. This is where we apply the base colour for most of our looks.
This can usually be brought up a little higher to make application easier, but as shown by the red mark, this is the basic place of the lid!

BROW BONE
This is the place on the eye that is closest to the eyebrows. This can be used to define the arch of the eyebrow, lighten up a look or blend colours on the crease.
This is shown by the white area on the diagram. Like the lid, it can be applied past this on a look if needed, but this is the basic place of the brow bone.


CREASE
This is the place on the eye, that is right above the lid. We can use this place to blend edges of eyeshadows, or blend colours together.
This is shown by the green area. This area can be hard to blend, so this is why a lot of looks also use a colour on the brow bone.

LASH LINES
This is where the eyelashes sit on the eye. We can apply liquid liner and khol liner on both lash lines. We can also apply eyeshadow very close to there.
Both the UPPER lash line, and the LOWER lash line are shown in blue.

OUTER CORNERS
This the furthest edge of the eyes. You can apply Eyeshadow, Khol Liner AND Liquid Liner there.
This area is shown in black.


INNER CORNERS/ TEARDUCTS
The inner corner/ tearduct is the very most inner edge of the eye. It is very similar to the outer corner as the same products can be applied there.
The tearduct/ inner corner is shown in yellow.

I hope you guys liked this quick little guide!
