Annamarie Tendler, a make-up artist who boasts more than 350,000 followers on her popular Tumblr blog, has a message for girls out there: Don’t paint your whole face, make-up is all about hitting the right spots.
Essential brushes.
Tendler’s book The Daily Face focuses on looks based on the “less is more” philosophy. All of the looks fall into one of four categories — daytime, evening, party and costume.
From a glowing-with-health afternoon date look to a luscious smoky-eyed late-night image, the book offers step-by-step instructions and photos. The book also details all the products used at each step.
Before diving into the 25 make-up looks, the book starts with the very basics for you to familiarise yourself once again with your facial anatomy. If you still doubt your make-up know-how, bone up on the basics of how to curl your lashes, make a Cleopatra liner, and pamper your skin and your lips with products that are perfect for you.
The first chapter, Daytime Looks, offers various images to try, like “The Afternoon Date” or “The Vacation”.
The second chapter, Evening Looks, features a series of brighter and more colourful looks to make your face more eye-catching at night. The grey-toned “Smoke Alarm”, the confident “Grape Juice”, and the elegant and mysterious “Little Odessa” are a few of the pretty looks presented in this chapter.
Then it’s time for something a lot more fun. The Party Looks chapter is a guide for how you can play with your face. The bright blue toned “Welcome To Miami”, the rock and roll eyed “After Midnight”, and the exuberant “Purple Haze” will surely make you glow under the party lights.
The final chapter, Costume Looks, offers fun ways to turn yourself into something else entirely, having the perfect face with that fancy costume. “Cracked China Doll”, “Snow Leopard” or “Peacock” are some make-up ideas for next Halloween.
Give this must-have make-up manual a try and you will find that your face can be beautiful in many different ways.
