1. Apply Walnut color to dark spots

I used a color called “Walnut,” which is almost the same color as the spots I’m trying to cover and applied it with a buff brush to all the spots, discoloration, and areas with visible pores on my face.

2. Apply to eyelids

I applied the same color all along my mobile lids, as well. 

3. Apply regular contour

Next, I used the “Ash” color in my palette as my regular contour color, applying it below my cheekbones, on my forehead near my hairline, below my chin, and along my jawline. 

4. Apply foundation

Then, using the same brush, I picked up some of my main foundation color, which for me was a color called “Mango,” and brushed it onto all the areas that I felt needed some coverage. 

5. Apply highlighter

Using a small blending brush, I used a color called “White Peach” as my highlighter, applying it to the corners of my eyes, and down the sides of my nose; along the tops of my cheekbones, all the way to my temples; on my forehead, between my eyebrows; and down the center of my nose.

6. Press with a sponge

With my perfector sponge, which I dampened a bit, I just pressed gently all over my face to help set all the products, and get rid of any excess. 

7. Fill in eyebrows

With a small, fine brush, I used the Ash color in my contour palette to fill in my eyebrows, then used the spoolie brush on the opposite end of the brush to brush my eyebrows to shape them and blend the color. 

8. Apply cheek/lip color

Next, I used my finger to apply a cream blush color called “Lolly,” which is a fun, summer color, along my cheekbones, above my contour, then blended it with a large brush. I applied the same color to my lips.  

9. Apply illuminator

Once the blush was blended in, I used my finger to apply some illuminator for a little extra shimmer. I applied it to my cheekbones and browbones, and blended it with a blending brush. I applied a bit to the center of my lips, as well. 

10. Apply eye color

Finally, I used a bit of bronzer on my eyelids, which I applied with a small blending brush. 

My look is complete! It is so simple to cover sun spots and blemishes with just a bit of Walnut contour. What do you think of this sun spot erasing method? If you try it out, I’d love to know how it worked for you.
