Kumiko,
This was fascinating! My wiife does not use make-up at all so I have never known how complicated this is. :-)
I just needed to correct your list punctuation: start at "1.", capital letter for each item and ".", at the end. This is how I corrected it.
It is also possible to write a list without the capital letter and end each item with a ","or a ";". You may want to ask your tutor which one is best as I am not sure.
Also, when you use an object to DO something TO something you do not use 'by", you use "with":
"I dig my yard WITH a spade".
"I changed the TV channel WITH the remote".
Regards,
Jas
How to do makeup in English(w/Japanese)
I had a fun lesson with Alexis (http://www.italki.com/teacher/1507612) about makeup in English.
We showed our cosmetic items in front of the screen to each other ;-)
How I do my makeup every morning; :
1. Wash my face and apply lotion and milky lotion. (顔を洗い、化粧水と乳液をつける)
2. Apply face cream. (化粧下地をつける/塗る)
3. Apply/put concealer over my freckles. (コンシーラーでシミを隠す/シミの上にコンシーラーを塗る)
4. Apply foundation with a sponge / sponge foundation. (スポンジでファンデーションを塗る)
5. Curl my eyelashes carefully by with an eyelash curler. (ビューラーでまつげを丁寧にカールする)
6. Apply three colors of eyeshadow over my eyelids. (まぶたに3色のアイシャドーを塗る)
7. Apply eyeliner. (アイライナーを引く)
8. Apply mascara twice to thicken my eyelashes. (まつげが濃くなるように、マスカラを2回塗る)
9. Use an eyebrow pencil to reshape my eyebrows. (アイブロウペンシルで、眉毛の形を整える)
10. Apply blush on my cheeks. (チークを塗る)
That's all. It takes about 20-30 minutes every morning.
