Primer and foundation
Before applying the rest of your makeup, make sure you have applied primer and foundation to your whole face.
Concealer
With a small brush, apply concealer on the inner corners and under your eyes, as well as on any other parts of your face that have uneven pigmentation or dry patches.
Translucent powder
To set the concealer, apply a translucent powder to all the areas of your face where you applied concealer.
Highlighter
To add some brightness and color, apply highlighter to the tops of your cheekbones and browbones, and use your fingers to pat it and blend it in.
Blush
To apply blush, start at the point on your cheek that is directly below the center of your eye, and drag the brush back towards your hairline. Just a touch of beautiful pinky, peachy blush can bring so much life and color to your face.
Brush eyebrows
Use an eyebrow brush to shape your eyebrows before applying eyebrow pencil.
Eyebrow pencil
Next, go in with your eyebrow pencil, and apply it using light, feathery strokes.
Step: Brush again
Then use the brush again to buff out any sharp edges of color, and ensure both brows are reasonably balanced.
Eye primer
Next, apply a few dots of eye primer to each eyelid, and use your finger to rub it in.
Prep lips
Run a cotton bud across the edges of your lips to remove any excess foundation.
Lip primer
Then apply lip primer to seal the edges of your lips.
Eyeshadow
Apply the lightest color you want to use all across your eyelid.
Using a cotton pad to guide you, apply a medium color in the crease of your eyelid.
Blend the two eyeshadows with a small brush.
Finally, with a wedge brush, apply the darkest color eyeshadow along your lash line.
Mascara
Once you're satisfied with your eyeshadow, you can apply mascara. You can do just the top lashes, or both top and bottom. The number of coats you use is also completely up to you.
Lipstick
To complete your look, apply the lipstick color of your choice. This one is a lovely tulip pink, which is sure to add vibrancy to your face.
And you’re done! It’s a simple, straightforward, ten-minute procedure that can make a world of difference to an older face, giving your face life, color, definition, and just generally making you look fabulous.
