English term or phrase: heavy hand
To line the lower lash line, begin at the inner corner and slowly move outward.
Go easy; a heavy hand with this cake liner can age your customer.

Mi trad:

Para delinear la línea inferior de las pestañas, comienza en la esquina interna y deslízate poco a poco hacia fuera. Hazlo sutilmente; una mano pesada con este
delineador en “pastilla” puede sumarle años a tu cliente.

NOTA: "heavy hand" aquí quiere decir "excederse" o "pasarse" con el maquillaje.

TRADUCCIÓN:

"Aplica el delineador en pastilla/compacto con moderación; excederse (en su aplicación) le puede echar años encima al cliente..."

"Aplica el...; si te excedes/si te aplicas demasiado..."

"HOWEVER (and this is important!) if your makeup artist is ***heavy handed applying traditional foundation*** he/she will also be ***heavy handed with the application*** of airbrush makeup. So in other words if your makeup artist likes a heavy/thick coverage on the skin you will get a heavy coverage no matter what application is used."
