Begin With Your Face:

As with any look, the objective here is still flawless skin.  For whatever "edgy" makeup mood your going to create...

1.  Begin with foundation to create a perfect canvas for your inspired work of makeup art...as sheer a foundation as your complexion can afford and a perfect/near perfect match to your skin tone ( a good indicator of a great skin tone match is the foundation should disappear into your skin as you blend).

* TRY Vincent Longo Liquid Canvas.  

2.  Cover blemishes and under eye circles.  
Laura Mercier's Secret Camouflage  is a great multi shade palette that will allow the perfect match to your skin tone needs.

Also * TRY tarte secret weapon concealer, Deception.

 3.  Whether minimizing shine or pursuing a matte overall finish, use loose translucent powder and large quality powder brush. Disperse a light dusting to remove any shine without excess depositing in creases or looking to dry and "cakey".
* TRY Paula Dorf Loose Powder to first set your makeup in home and use Vincent Longo Pressed Powder Compact "Translucent" for out of home touch ups.

4.  Bring your 'look" dimension with facial color.  Check these versatile sheer crème face paints out.  They can be used on eyes, cheeks, lips etc.
  *TRY Vincent Longo Face Paints Palette, Passion Grape  

5.  Powder Blush:  For more color impact, a surreal shade of pink
TRY  Sue Devitt Studio Blush For the Face, East Hampton (shown above).

Don't forget that using good quality tools make all the difference in the world in terms of professional application and flawless finish.  In this case, make sure you have a good set of quality  makeup brushes.  For a a good review of the essentials, click here.

Eyes: 

Eye makeup application with dramatic style, bold lines, and  unusual yet beautiful combinations of color are the signatures of cutting edge beauty.

Just Two Eye Makeup Application Tips:

1.   Just as magazine fashion editorials exaggerate a trend, to make a visual point, exaggeration of lines and colors OR lack of line or color will bring dramatic effects.

2.   Since we are operating with the agenda of beauty, cutting edge should still reflect aesthetic principals.

Here is some interesting eye makeup application products sure to express innovation and fashion forward thinking.

Speaking of unexpectedly beautiful color combinations 
TRY NARS Eye Shadow Duo Compact, Rated R combinations by Francois Nars himself (" hot citrus" of duo shown above crease through brow bone area ).    

If you like the look of gloss shadows TRY LORAC It Kit for Eyes in "Live It" , "Own It", "Work It".  You will get two coordinating powder colors, and clear gloss to bring shine.

OR  For color shown above, between lash line and crease area, Awake Stardom Eye Gloss Eye Color, Aquamarine.

As shown in the eye makeup application image above, line the upper lashes close to base of lashes with fairly slim line in black and apply a much thicker line below lash line.
TRY this creamy eyeliner in the blackest, glossiest black  Too Faced Liquid Lava Eyeliner Pencil, Extreme Black Gloss .

If dramatic lashes are part of your eye makeup application plan, make sure you use an eyelash curler.
TRY Tarte Eyelash Curler.
