1. Start with your lips

Apply clear plumping lip gloss to your lips. Do this before you start any of your other makeup, so by the time you return to your lips they’ve plumped up nicely.

2. Prime your skin and eyes

Apply a color correction primer all over your face, making sure not to miss the area below your eyes.

Then, dab some under-eye brightener below your eyes.

Apply some eyelid primer by dabbing it on and then smoothing it in.

3. Fill in eyebrows

Start defining the bottom of your eyebrow line with an eyebrow pencil and then fill in the brows as needed.

4. Apply eyeshadow

Apply a transition shade of eyeshadow above the crease of your eyelid. Then tap a darker color of eyeshadow in the crease and use a brush to blend the transition and deeper color together.

Apply some light metallic shadow to the outside third of your lid below the crease and blend it in with a soft brush.

Finally apply a pink-shaded shadow on the inside section of your eyelid and blend a lighter pink on top of it.

5. Apply foundation

Dab foundation all over your face. Use a large makeup brush to press the foundation into your skin. The brush will give you a beautiful soft, smooth finish with a subtle glow.

Dab a damp makeup sponge over your foundation.

6. Apply concealer

Apply concealer to the inner corners under your eyes and press it in with a makeup brush.

Set the concealer with face powder using a large fluffy brush.

7. Contour

Use a contour wand to apply contour to your cheekbones and hairline and blend it in with a large makeup brush.

8. Apply blush

Dab cream blush on your cheekbones and press it in with a damp sponge.

9. Add highlight

Add a tiny bit of highlight lotion to the high point of your cheekbones.

10. Finishing powder

Apply a finishing powder to your whole face with a large fluffy brush.

11. Finish your eyes

First, apply a bit of white eyeshadow to the very inner corners of your eyes to brighten them up. 

Then, apply a tight line of eyeliner underneath the front of your eyelid.

Apply a lengthening mascara to your eyelashes.

12. Apply lipstick and lip liner

By now your lips should be nicely plumped. First, apply your lip liner and then fill in with your lipstick.
