Applying foundation

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.

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. 

Applying eyeshadow

Add a darker shade to the outer corners. The key to using multiple eyeshadows is to blend the colors well. 

Applying eyeshadow

Grab the base shade again to lightly blend the two colors.

Applying eyeshadow

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. 

Applying eyeshadow

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

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.

Lining lips

Then apply your lip gloss.

12. Apply brow gel

For the final touch, apply a brown brow gel to hold and lift your eyebrows.
