Back when there were no beauty blogs, YouTube channels or classes, makeup was something you left to professional artists to get done right. Growing up, I had limited access to knowledge about which tools and products to use, the right look for day, night, events or shoots. DIY makeup often resulted in wearing the wrong shade of foundation, having on too much blush or enough lipstick to make a clown jealous. And then I started working in fashion, where exposure to the most talented makeup artists in the industry plus work-related research has helped me know more about makeup.

Photos from my Instagram which have gotten the most “How do you do your makeup/eyes/foundation?” questions or tutorial requests. (Thanks to Japanese Candy for the contact lenses!) I’ve hesitated all this time to do tutorials since I’m by no means an expert—until one reader emailed, “I’m asking you specifically because it’s your personal makeup technique I’m interested in, I can’t learn that elsewhere.” Hence this tutorial series! Photography by Seph Cham. I’ll be writing each with no outside reference; it won’t be about the right or wrong way to do makeup, but simply sharing the way I do mine. Also, I’ve partnered with SUESH COSMETICS and we’ll be giving away a featured item after every tutorial. On to our first!
