Step by Step Styling Tips: Kabuki at Dennis Basso

Transcript

KABUKI:
I'm Kabuki and we have the Sephora Team is sponsoring Dennis Basso. It's a high glamour look. The easiest way of putting it is it's, uh, modern take on old school glamour. So we're using glamour length lashes.

The trick to lashes is that it's easier to put on lashes that have space in between the lash because your eye moves. So, um, we're using eyelashes that are just sort of like spikes. There's some space in between. You want it to taper so it blends in with your own eyelashes. So never cut it off of the beginning because then you lose that, that curve. And then it's easier, when you put it on usually it just goes o right on.

We've used like sort of the new very natural looking foundations to sculpt and make up forever aqua lip number C. It's a water proof, smudge proof lip pencil. I do the whole lip with that first and then I use the Nars Daredevil gloss on top of it to give it extra dimension and richness.

I like to just have an assortment of colors. We're using a make-up forever high definition liquid foundation so I just squirt them out and then I can just eyeball it. And I'm using Kevin Aucoin concealer also. And I just paint big triangles and I paint it on really fast. Do the darker colored foundations around the side and keep the, the highlights here, here, and here. Then I take my finger and I just start patting it and then I set it with a setting powder which also make up forever high definition. Because when you go on stage, the light, you see all those colors very softly and it looks like you have perfect lighting on your face.
