1. Apply foundation
For daytime, apply a foundation with SPF. Apply a few dots and rub it in. The natural oils from your hands will help blend the makeup.
Also, a serum formula will be extra light and easier to blend.
2. Apply concealer
Apply concealer with a brush under your eyes and anywhere else you need more coverage.
Then blend with your fingertips.
Then dab with a beauty blender.
3. Apply translucent powder
Use a translucent powder to set your makeup, but don’t blend it just yet.
4. Apply eyeshadows
Apply eye primer to your lids.
Next, apply a light, base eyeshadow color with a crease brush.
Add a darker shade to the outer corners. The key to using multiple eyeshadows is to blend the colors well.
Grab the base shade again to lightly blend the two colors.
Wet a flat brush. Then apply a shimmer shade to the rest of the mobile lid. Don’t drag it, just tap, avoiding the dark eyeshadow section.
Allow the eyeshadow to dry and then take more of the base color to marry the shimmer section to the crease area.
5. Apply eyeliner
Apply a nude eyeliner to your lower waterline to make your eyes pop.
Then, use the same dark shade that you used at the top edges to meet the bottom edges, bringing it until you reach the middle of your eye.
Then use a lighter color to continue the line all the way to the inner corner.
6. Add brightness to your inner eyes
Apply a touch of gold shadow to the inner corner of each eye.
7. Address your eyebrows
Start by brushing your eyebrows down to find the natural line of your brows, filling in with a shade that matches your coloring.
Then brush upwards and fill in the bottom, if necessary.
8. Address your eyelashes
Curl your eyelashes.
Then apply mascara.
9. Remove excess powder
Use a brush to remove the excess setting powder from the skin.
10. Add contour and blush
Add some light contouring with bronzer to your nose.
Apply it to contour your cheeks too.
Blend it with a large brush.
11. Apply lip liner and lip gloss
I recommend a more subdued lip color since the eyes are sparkly. Apply a nude lip liner.
Then apply your lip gloss.
12. Apply brow gel
For the final touch, apply a brown brow gel to hold and lift your eyebrows.
Here’s the final look:

That's way too much crap on your face. What happened to the Natural Beauty God gave us all. I can't imagine spending all that money on make up to paint your face. Is it really that bad that it needs that much make up?
