Top Makeup Tips For Trans Women:<\/h1>\n

Tip 1: How to Cover Beard Shadow<\/b><\/p>\n

Stage 1. Prep Your Skin<\/b><\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to prep your skin before covering your beard shadow. Here are two simple steps for prepping your skin.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Step 1. Shaving the face<\/b><\/p>\n

Shave your face all over. If you have ingrown hairs you can treat these by exfoliating and moisturizing your face twice a day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 2. Apply Moisturizer\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

After shaving, make sure that your face is completely dry. Apply a moisturizer that is best suited to your skin type. Jecca Blac <\/span>Hydrate Primer<\/span><\/a> offers a hydrating finish and primes for makeup. The formula includes ceramides and fatty acids which are necessary for replacing and retaining moisture in the skin.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stage 2: Apply Makeup To Cover Beard Shadow<\/b><\/p>\n

Makeup Brushes\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

When covering beard shadow we recommend using a beauty blender or a round foundation brush.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 1. <\/b>Apply Primer<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to prime the skin before applying makeup. A primer helps the makeup last longer. Apply a primer all over your face using your fingertips.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0You can get many different types of Primers in different types of finishes: glow finish, matte and hydrating.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We recommend using our Blur & Matte primer before covering beard shadow. The Blur & Matte Primer was created to blur out the texture of the skin which will help blur the texture of the beard shadow.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Palette made for Covering Beard Shadow:<\/b><\/p>\n

Jecca Blac launched the\u00a0 <\/span>Correct & Conceal <\/span><\/a>palette due to\u00a0 lack of a product that could cover beard shadow. The palette includes two creamy products, Corrector and Concealer. The <\/span>Correct & Conceal Palette <\/span><\/a>has been designed for layering, and is available in\u00a0 6 different shades. First, you\u2019ll need to apply the <\/span>Colour Corrector<\/span><\/a> to counteract the blue tone left behind by the beard shadow. Then, apply the Concealer (that needs to match your skin tone) on top of the Corrector and to the rest of the face.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Model: Using <\/span>Correct & Conceal Medium 5.0\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Step 2. Apply Corrector<\/b><\/p>\n

A Color Corrector is used to correct the undertones of the skin.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A Color Corrector counterbalances the undertones\u00a0 and is the first step before applying Concealer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Apply the <\/span>Colour Correct<\/span><\/a> shade first: the pink\/peachy shade will counteract the blue-ish tinge left behind after shaving.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With a round foundation brush, apply a small amount of <\/span>Colour Correct<\/span><\/a> to the area and blend well. Make sure to apply it all over the shadow area.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 3. Apply The Concealer<\/b><\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve applied the\u00a0 <\/span>Colour Correct<\/span><\/a>, it\u2019s time to apply the<\/span> Concealer. <\/span><\/a>You can use the same makeup brush or a clean one if you prefer. Apply the Concealer directly onto the Colour Corrector. Make sure to tap the brush on top, this means that you won\u2019t remove the Colour Corrector in the process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Once the Concealer has been applied all over the beard shadow. Using the same brush, apply the Concealer all over the face.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 4. Rest of makeup<\/b><\/p>\n

The Concealer part of the palette can be used all over the base, which is an alternative to foundation. However, if you wanted to use foundation, we would recommend doing this after concealer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 5. Apply Powder<\/b><\/p>\n

We recommend using a full coverage powder around the beard shadow to give extra coverage and a matte finish. Apply powder using a large round face makeup brush.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In Your Bag:<\/b><\/p>\n

For touch ups during the day\/night we recommend packing your concealer and powder. Also remembering to pack the makeup brush that you used.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

TIP 2: How To Contour To Feminise Features<\/b><\/p>\n

Jecca Blac launched the Sculpt & Soften Palette: a contour palette that includes a 34 page How To Guide that teaches you how to contour for your needs. The guide goes into detail about how to feminize features using the contour palette. The palette has two shades: a darker shade for contouring and lighter shade for highlighting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Choose the right shade<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The <\/span>Sculpt & Soften<\/span><\/a> palette comes in 3 different shades: light, medium and dark. Each palette contains 2 different colors, one for contouring and one for highlighting.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \u00a0If you\u2019re unsure on what shade to pick, simply send a photo of your jawline or a full selfie to us and we will be able to match you to the best suited shade.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Find the areas where the sun naturally hits your face<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Shadow and highlight will show up in a mirror if you have light directly in front of you. For example, cheekbones are a shadow on the face. You want to apply the Contour to the shadow areas, to exaggerate these parts of the face.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Apply Contour<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Firstly, you want to understand the reasons for contouring. If you are wanting to reduce your nose area, apply the Contour shade to the areas of shadow on the face using the above technique.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        It\u2019s easier to apply the Contour shade using a small makeup brush before blending in the cream. If you map out your contour first you can make sure that it is even on both sides of the face.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Apply the Highlight<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          The Soften shade will highlight areas of the face that you want to show. For example, adding highlight to the brow bone will allow the eye area to look larger. Again, simply map out where you want to highlight on the face and the blend in the product.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Blend\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Now you\u2019ve mapped out the Contour and Highlight, you want to make sure that you blend the product in well. The best contour is the ones you can\u2019t see, as it\u2019s causing an illusion. Therefore, it should be subtle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

            Using a medium sized makeup brush, simply blend the shades in the face. If you only have the one brush, blend the highlight shade in first and then move to the darker shade. This means that you won\u2019t be mixing the both shades. As mentioned above, blend the product into the skin until you can\u2019t see it anymore.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

            \u00a0For more tips on how to use the contour palette, the <\/span>Sculpt & Soften<\/span><\/a> comes with a 34-page guide for different looks. The How To Guide is the perfect way to learn how to contour for your needs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

            TIP 3: ADDING COLOUR TO EYES, LIPS AND CHEEKS<\/b><\/p>\n

            Now you have the perfect base, it\u2019s time to add color to your face. One of the most popular makeup requests was how to do eye makeup and what colors to use.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
