🏫🎓BIC University 🎓🏫

[danielledanielle]

Welcome everyone to BICU Thread!  The only university that's pretty much accept all, serve all. (That's right, there's a 100 percent acceptance rate. )

  

WHAT IS BICU?

• Compounding of various threads (coming soon) to address some beauty basics and further highlight the 🤌🏽🤌🏽 of the BIC.
• Discussion/Exploration in the beauty space where members can post/comment on things they feel the have an expertise on, aka mini member masterclasses.  (Updated to say: think of it as TED talk x BIC 🤣)
• School spirit... Feel free to share any fun beauty gifs and pics here repping BIC  

 miss ya @JeffreyBD 

For a mini masterclass, posting styles suggested are:

• Essay
• Q&A
• Step by step, how to (think like a wikiHow)
• Photo journal
• Listicle
• Dealer's choice (a blend of the above...hey, if you want to teach an all gif lesson, go for it)

The goal is to have a well of personalized info that can be drawn from whenever.  Following social media can be helpful, but it's also nice to have real person tips and tricks.

Blontour via Dior Masterclass

These pics are from the Masterclass

Some of the products used:

DIOR Dior Forever Natural Powder Bronzer 

Dior Blush Brush no. 16

DIOR Forever Glow Star Filter Multi-Use Complexion Enhancing Booster 

DIOR Dior Forever Skin Glow Hydrating Foundation 

DIOR Rosy Glow Blush 020 Mahogany 

DIOR Lip Glow Oil 

 

So this was used a lot, my guess is the smaller brush head (vs a large bronzer) helps with placement in smaller areas, but it need not  be so precise just slightly more concentrated vs a wash

The complexion was about a healthy glow, so think more radiance "lit from within"vs dewy, like you could use DIOR Dior Forever Matte Skincare Foundation vs the glow of you're more oily, or even their cushion or powder I fathom.  The star filter with skincare is also just great coverage, I'm oily combo and have been used it alone as foundation

 

 

 

Lining it up with the ear to find your natural light and shadows

 

Smiling and swiping it a little lower than your cheek to contour,

 Using the blush and brush to bring it in without adding additional color

Using the remaining color for a soft contour in the brow bone/socket

@danielledanielle  Thank you for this idea!  Oh and I too want to pick up a sweatshirt!  But I need a garden flag with our university name and colors 🥰

[danielledanielle]

@Cissy63That would look lovely, imagine the black white colors with BICU and a garden 🏡 🤌🏽🤌🏽

Doll Face Blush for the Long Faced Dolls 

I think of this as subtle contouring with blush or bronzer with a kiss of color in the middle. 

To keep from looking too orange, I work in a gradient, using the deepest color at points away from my face and try to highlight/brighten the middle.

 

I like PMG's Bronzer for this, because desert glow has a bit of a shimmer to it. The bronzers are also very orange/pink which works well with my medium olive tone.

Tools:

Two Powder Bronzers and/or

Powder Highlight or Blush

Brightening powder (think yellow, pink, lavender)

A contour like brush

Two fluffy brushes, one for buffing and one for blending.

 

 

 

 

I lay down the highlighter first because that's my "burn" and I want to be able to spread it out. If your burn is a blush, do so accordingly.

 

I then add depth with my bronzer. I go heavy, because I also will use a lot of the leftover on the brush to unify everything.

Spoiler

 

 

 

I do sweeping motions up and out, and blend it in a c-shape motion. If needed, or desired, I may add another highlight and blend up and out with a fan brush.

 

I then use a different fluffy brush to buff my brightening powder across the face.  

Then I go and use the leftover bronzer again and drag it along my nose bridge and lightly dust

my forehead. 

 

Voila!
