1. Apply primer
Apply a primer to fill in your pores and fine lines, and smooth out your skin before you apply anything else over it.
2. Apply a color corrector and blend
Apply a color corrector where you have discoloration. I’m focusing around my mouth and under my eyes.
Let it settle for a few minutes before you blend it out. This way you get more coverage.
3. Apply liquid contour and blend
We’re going for a very subtle contour, so we’ll contour first and then put foundation over it.
I applied contour to my forehead, in the hollows of my cheekbones, and to my jawline.
Blend with a foundation brush.
4. Apply foundation and blend
If you’re using a full-coverage foundation, using too much will completely cover the contour and you won’t be able to see the dimension.
The key is to use a minimal amount of product, only as much as you need to give you an even skin tone.
Using the same brush with the residue of the other products will give you a beautiful blend.
5. Apply concealer and blend
Use a thin concealer around your mouth and under your eyes just like you did with the color corrector.
Let it get tacky and dry before you blend it out. Use a stiff concealer brush or your finger.
6. Apply a setting powder
Apply a setting powder to the areas where you used concealer to prevent it from settling in the fine lines and creasing.
Don’t use too much powder or your face will look cakey.
7. Spray on a setting spray
Setting spray is going to lock in your makeup and make it long-lasting.
8. Brush your brows
Brush your brows with a spoolie and eyebrow gel to keep them in place.
9. Fill in your brows
Fill in the sparse areas with a brow pencil.
10. Prime your eyelids
Cover your lid in primer, and then blend the primer up to your brows. This dries pretty quickly and doesn’t crease, so you don’t need to set it.
11. Highlight your brow bone
Use a highlighter shade of your eyeshadow palette to highlight your brow bone.
12. Apply your transition shade
Using a blending brush, shade out the outer-v of your eyelid and your crease with a warm, matte brow shade.
This is your transition shade. Add more color to increase the intensity while you blend.
Also, apply it to your lower lash line with a tapered blending brush.
13. Do a cut crease
Apply a bronzy gold with a flat shader brush to your lid. Do a soft cut crease.
14. Highlight your inner corner
Dip into the highlighter shade to highlight your inner corner.
15. Create a smokey wing
Use an angled brush and a deep charcoal shade to create a wing in the outer corner of your eye.
Join it to your lash line, and then smudge it out to create a smokey wing.
Sharpen out the edge with concealer.
16. Apply primer to your lower lash line
Apply primer to your lower lashline to make it tacky so your eyeshadow sticks better.
If you apply it dry, it might stick better since shimmer eyeshadows are more coarse and prone to falling off.
17. Apply eyeshadow to your lower lash line
Tap the green shimmer eyeshadow into your lower lash line. Layer it as much as you prefer. Wipe off any fallout with a clean brush.
18. Line your waterline
Line your waterline with a lime green eye pencil.
19. Apply mascara to curled lashes
Curl your lashes and apply mascara to your upper and lower lashes.
20. Apply blush
Tap blush onto your cheekbones.
21. Apply liquid lipstick
Outline your lips with a liquid lipstick and then fill them in.
