Troubleshoot Your Makeup and Build a Routine That Works for You
Your foundation looks cakey. Your concealer creases. Your shade looked right in the shop, but feels off once you finish your makeup.
Let’s work through it together.
Created by professional makeup artist, beauty educator and The Slay University founder Ray Kadiri, this practical ebook helps you understand your base and make purposeful adjustments using the products you already own.
Inside, you’ll explore:
Skin preparation, including adjustments for drier skin
Foundation depth, undertones and shade testing
Tools, gentle patting motions and gradual layering
Targeted concealer placement and optional colour correction
Setting techniques and common base problems
A troubleshooting reference, practice worksheet and personal routine planner
With particular attention to melanin-rich skin, hyperpigmentation and avoiding an ashy finish, the guide encourages you to test what works for your own complexion and features.
For complete beginners, tutorial followers and anyone overwhelmed by their makeup bag.
Build slowly. Understand your choices. Develop your personal glam.
Format: Digital PDF ebook. No physical item will be shipped.
No refunds due to the nature of the product.
