Fierce Cat Makeup Tutorial with Mehron Makeup Palette

Preparation Steps

Creating a fierce cat makeup look with the Mehron Makeup Tri-Color Character Makeup Palette requires thorough preparation to ensure an impeccable application. Start by cleaning your face with a gentle cleanser to remove any oils, dirt, or makeup residues. This helps create a clean canvas for your makeup application. You can also exfoliate your skin gently to eliminate dead skin cells, ensuring your makeup adheres smoothly and lasts longer. After cleansing, pat your skin dry with a towel for a fresh start.

Next, gather your tools and products for a seamless application. Essential items include various brushes, sponges, and a mixing palette to help with color blending. Select a variety of brush sizes to achieve different effects; flat brushes work well for broad areas, while smaller, angled brushes are fantastic for details. If your skin tends to be oily or you want to enhance durability, apply a suitable primer, such as a mattifying or hydrating one, depending on your skin type. The primer fills in pores and provides a smooth surface for your face paint, making application more effective.

Choosing Your Colors

Creating a fierce cat look with the Mehron Makeup Tri-Color Character Makeup Palette involves selecting the right colors that will enhance your feline features. Start by using the black shade from the palette for the base of your makeup. This strong color will create the presence and depth typical of a kitty cat look. Apply this black cream evenly across your forehead, around your eyes, and along the cheekbones, using a makeup sponge or brush for a smooth finish.

Next, turn to the soft gray or even a rich brown shade in the palette for highlights and shadows. These colors are essential for adding dimension to your look. Focus on the areas that naturally catch light, such as the bridge of your nose and the tops of your cheekbones, applying the lighter shade to these spots. Meanwhile, the darker shades can be used to contour along the jawline and around the temples, enhancing the fierce aspect of your cat makeup. To tie it all together, consider adding pops of vibrant colors, like deep purples or vibrant royal blues, around the eyes for an electrifying effect.

• Base Color: Black for a strong foundation.
• Highlight: Soft gray or rich brown for dimensional effects.
• Shadow: Darker shades for contouring.
• Accent Colors: Deep purples or blues to enhance the eyes.

Base Layer Application

Begin your fierce cat makeup look by applying the base layer using the Mehron Makeup Tri-Color Character Makeup Palette. This palette is perfect for creating striking cat features with its rich pigments and creamy texture. Start by selecting a base shade that complements your desired cat look; consider a neutral or light color for a natural underlay. Using a makeup sponge or a flat makeup brush, scoop a small amount of cream from the palette. It’s essential to begin with a minimal amount, as you can build up coverage as needed.

To achieve a perfectly blended base layer, start by applying the cream to your nose, cheeks, and forehead. Gently dab the sponge or brush onto your skin, using a stippling motion to ensure an even distribution of product. On the nose, focus on creating a well-defined tip while extending the color slightly onto the sides for dimension. For the cheeks, blend the cream from the apples of your cheeks upwards toward your temples, giving a subtle lift to your face. When working on the forehead, apply the cream in horizontal strokes, distributing the color evenly from the center to the edges—this will help create a seamless look. Remember to blend thoroughly to avoid any harsh lines, allowing the product to meld naturally with your skin. Once you have distributed the base layer over these key areas, use a clean sponge or brush to further blend any areas that might need it, ensuring a smooth and flawless finish.

• Choose the right base shade from the Mehron Palette.
• Use a makeup sponge or flat brush for application.
• Blend the product using a stippling motion for even coverage.
• Focus on the center of the face: nose, cheeks, and forehead.
• Ensure all edges are well-blended for a seamless look.

Creating Cat Features

Transforming your look into a fierce feline being using the Mehron Makeup Tri-Color Character Makeup Palette requires a blend of creativity and technique. This palette is perfect for crafting striking cat features such as whiskers, a feline nose, and exaggerated cheekbones. Start by selecting the colors that suit your preferred cat theme. For a classic black cat look, the black shade is essential, while the white and gray shades can help create depth and dimensionality.

Begin with cleaning your face and applying a primer for a smooth base. To shape your feline nose, take a small brush and dip it into the black cream from the palette. Carefully outline the tip of your nose, extending the edges towards the nostrils to create a wider appearance reminiscent of a cat's snout. Blend the edges gently with a blender sponge for a seamless effect. For the whiskers, use a fine-tipped brush to draw long lines emanating from the sides of your nose, ensuring they taper off towards the ends. Reapply black for intensity and to achieve a slightly glossy, wet look. Next, enhance your cheekbones by applying the dark gray shade along the hollows of your cheeks, blending it upward for a lifted effect. Layer the lighter gray or white on top for highlights to create that striking chiseled look.

• Choose your colors carefully to define your preferred cat type.
• Use appropriate brushes for details; small brushes work best for precision.
• Blend thoroughly to ensure no harsh lines are visible.
• Layer different colors for a more dynamic appearance.

Adding Details

Creating a fierce cat makeup look using the Mehron Makeup Tri-Color Character Makeup Palette can be elevated by adding striking details through contouring and highlighting. To begin, select the darkest shade from the palette to sculpt the contours of your face. Apply it along the jawline, the sides of the nose, and in your hollows of the cheeks. Using a small, dense brush, blend this product meticulously to emphasize the definition of your facial structure. For a more angular appearance, focus on the temples and blend upwards, creating a sleek silhouette. This technique not only intensifies the fierce aspect of your look but also helps mimic the sharp features of a cat.

Highlighting is equally essential to bring dimension and a captivating glow to your fierce cat persona. Choose a lighter shade from the Mehron palette and apply it on the high points of your face— the cheekbones, brow bone, and down the bridge of your nose. You can also add a touch onto the center of your forehead and chin for extra brightness. To further enhance the feline look, consider using a bit of shimmery highlighter if available, blending it seamlessly with the cream for a subtle effect. For added depth, think about using a lighter, contrasting shade and applying it around the eyes, accentuating the area around the eyebrows to create a more dramatic and captivating eye effect.

• Use various brush sizes for precision blending.
• Layer products gradually for better control.
• Consider adding face gems or metallic accents for a glam touch.

Eye Makeup Techniques

Creating fierce cat eye makeup using the Mehron Makeup Tri\-Color Character Makeup Palette requires a playful approach with bold shades perfect for making a striking statement. Start with a clean, primed eyelid to enhance the vibrancy of your colors. Begin by choosing the deep black cream from the palette to outline the shape of your cat's eye. Use an angled brush to create an elongated wing effect that extends beyond your natural lash line. This technique captures the essence of feline allure and allows you to playfully exaggerate your eye shape.

After establishing the wing, blend in a complementary shade from the palette, such as a radiant orange or a deep purple, into the crease of your eye to add depth. Utilize a fluffy blending brush for seamless transitions between the colors, ensuring there are no harsh lines. For an even more dramatic flair, consider incorporating shimmering glitter along the upper eyelid and inner corners, which makes your eyes pop beautifully. Finish with a bold cat-eye eyeliner using a liquid or gel liner to define your wing. Adding rhinestones or jewel embellishments to your corners or below your brow bone could enhance your feline look:

• Use small rhinestones for a subtle accent.
• Apply dual-purpose adhesive to secure the embellishments.
• For a more intricate design, layer different sizes of rhinestones.

Setting the Makeup

Setting your Fierce Cat makeup is essential to ensure that it lasts throughout your festivities and keeps its dramatic flair intact. When using the Mehron Makeup Tri-Color Character Makeup Palette, the cream formula provides flexibility and high pigmentation, but without a proper setting technique, it can smudge or fade, particularly if you're wearing it for an extended period. Setting your makeup not only enhances its longevity but also provides a smooth, matte finish, which is crucial for this bold look.

Opt for a translucent setting powder like the Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder or a setting spray such as Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray. For powder application, use a fluffy, large brush to gently dust the setting powder over your face, avoiding any heavy pressure that might disturb the intricate details of your cat makeup. If opting for a spray, hold it at arm's length and mist lightly over your face in an 'X' and 'T' motion to cover all angles without saturating any specific area.

• Translucent powders keep the look natural while controlling shine.
• Using a beauty blender, damp with setting spray, can help "meld" the powder into the cream makeup without disrupting the base.
• Avoid touching your face after setting to maintain its efficacy.

Removing Makeup Safely

After showcasing your fierce cat-inspired look with the Mehron Makeup Tri-Color Character Makeup Palette, it's essential to properly remove your makeup at the end of the night to maintain healthy skin and prevent irritation. The formula utilized in this palette can be rich and long-lasting, requiring specific techniques for safe removal. Here’s a detailed guide to effectively cleanse your skin without causing harm.

Start by gathering your makeup removal essentials. A gentle makeup remover or cleansing oil is recommended, as these products can break down the pigments in the Mehron palette without harsh scrubbing. Look for options that are water-based or formulated for sensitive skin, which can help reduce irritation. Some excellent choices include micellar water, coconut oil, or a gentle cleansing balm. Once you have your remover:

• Apply the makeup remover to a cotton pad or a soft cloth.
• Gently press it onto your makeup-covered areas, allowing it to sit for a few moments to dissolve the makeup.
• Wipe away the makeup using soft, circular motions, starting from the outer edges and moving inward.
• Repeat as necessary, using fresh pads for stubborn areas, particularly around the eyes.
• Follow up with a gentle foaming or cream cleanser to fully cleanse the skin and remove any residual product.
• Finally, rinse with lukewarm water and pat your face dry with a clean towel.

To further protect your skin:

• Consider using a hydrating toner post-cleansing to restore moisture.
• Moisturize your skin with a nourishing cream before bed, particularly if you have sensitive or dry skin.
• Avoid using harsh scrubbers or exfoliants on the day you wear heavy makeup, as this can exacerbate irritation.

Tips for Perfect Application

Achieving a fierce cat look using the Mehron Makeup Tri-Color Character Makeup Palette is all about the right techniques and tools. One of the most crucial steps is to start with a clean, moisturized face. This not only helps the makeup adhere better but also ensures a smoother finish. Before diving into the application, make sure you've set up a well-lit workspace. Bright lighting reveals any imperfections, enabling you to blend and fix mistakes easily. Using a damp makeup sponge can be particularly effective when applying the base color; this technique creates a seamless foundation without brush strokes, giving you a flawless canvas.

Additionally, focus on layering the cream makeup to achieve depth and dimension. The Mehron palette’s variety allows for intricate shading—apply the darker shades in the hollows of your cheekbones and around the eyes to create a fierce feline look. When adding details, like whiskers or a nose, consider using a fine tip brush or a gel eyeliner for precision. Common mistakes include overapplying the colors, which can muddy the design, and neglecting to set the makeup. A light dusting of translucent powder afterward will set the cream and prevent smudging. If you make any errors, simply use a makeup remover pen or a cotton swab dipped in makeup remover to clean up mistakes. To save time in future applications, prep a stencil for consistent shapes, and remember to clean your tools regularly to ensure optimal performance.

• Start with a clean, moisturized face for better adhesion.
• Use bright lighting to spot imperfections during application.
• Apply the base color with a damp makeup sponge for a smooth finish.
• Focus on layering colors to create depth and shading.
• Use a fine tip brush for detailed work like whiskers and nose.
• Set the makeup with translucent powder to prevent smudging.
• Keep a makeup remover pen handy for quick fixes.
• Create a stencil for consistency in designs.
• Regularly clean your tools to maintain their effectiveness.

To ensure your Mehron Makeup Tri-Color Character Makeup Palette, specifically crafted for fierce cat looks, stays in pristine condition, proper maintenance is crucial. Begin with storage; it's essential to keep the palette in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Exposure to elements can alter its consistency and pigmentation. A makeup bag or a drawer lined with a soft cloth offers excellent protection. Additionally, sealing the palette tightly after each use prevents drying out and contamination.

Regular cleaning of brushes and applicators used with this palette maintains optimal application and prolongs the life of the makeup. Use a gentle brush cleaner or mild soap mixed with lukewarm water to cleanse your brushes. Ensure to gently swirl the brush in the solution and thoroughly rinse it out, avoiding any product buildup. Should applicators touch your skin, it's vital to disinfect them using alcohol wipes or sprays before and after each use to prevent any bacteria transfer. Let them air dry completely before storage.

• Store palette away from heat and moisture.
• Seal the palette tightly after use.
• Use gentle cleaners for brushes.
• Disinfect applicators regularly.
