1. Prepare the base
On clean bare skin, apply a dime-size dollop of primer all over your face. This helps keep your foundation in place.
2. Apply foundation
Apply a dollop of foundation onto your hand. Use a brush to apply it, using downward strokes for a flawless finish.
If your neck doesn’t match your face, apply some of the foundation down your neck as well.
3. Conceal
Apply the lightest concealer crayon in a large upside-down triangle under each eye, down the center of the nose, just above the jawline, and in an upside-down triangle towards the point of your chin.
Use an egg-shaped sponge to blend.
4. Contour
Use the darkest concealer crayon to draw these lines to contour your face: the hollow of your cheekbones, a diagonal line by each temple towards the forehead, small stripes in the center of your forehead, along your jawline, and a flat small line just under your bottom lip on the chin.
Blend with a short-bristled contour brush, then pat the blended edges with an egg-shaped sponge.
Contour your nose with the other concealer crayon in a medium shade. Draw a thin line down on either side of your nose, connecting at the bottom tip of your nose with a “u” shape.
Blend and buff the contour line with the brush, and follow up with the sponge to remove any demarcation lines.
5. Set makeup
Apply translucent powder to the undereye area and all the areas you added the light concealer to.
6. Bronzer & blush
Add bronzer to the cheek hollow, temple hollow, jawline, and under the chin; everywhere you added the darker contour to, including lightly on the nose.
Next, apply a rosy-pink blush to the tops of your cheekbones.
7. Finish the skin
Press a clean egg-shaped sponge in the powder and gently press just under the cheek hollow, just above the jawline.
8. Define eyebrows
Use light feathery strokes with the eyebrow pencil to fill in any gaps in your brows.
Then, draw a line at the outside edge of your natural arch to raise the tail end of your brows. Fill in this area with some more strokes and run a clean spoolie through your brows to brush all your natural eyebrow hairs upward.
Use the light concealer crayon to draw directly underneath the eyebrows to really define them. Blend the edges.
9. Apply eye makeup
Apply anti-crease eyelid primer to the center of the eyelid and gently spread outward with your fingertips. Blend with an egg-shaped sponge.
Apply bronzer with a fluffy eyeshadow brush just above your upper eyelid crease across your eye.
Apply a chocolate brown eyeshadow to that area to deepen and build up the color.
Wet an eyeshadow brush with mixing fluid and dip it into the glitter eyeshadow. Paint the eyelid from the lash line to just below the eyelid crease. Then, apply the other finely milled or creamy glittery eyeshadow with your finger to the same area.
Using a fluffy eyeshadow blending brush, blend the top of the eyeshadows for a perfect finish.
Draw wings using the black liquid liner. The outer curve of the eyeliner wing should flick upward towards the very end of the eyebrow tail. Connect the rest of the eyeliner at the lash line, stopping just before the inner eyepoint.
Rim the inside lash line of your lower eyelids with a black eyeliner pencil.
Dip a short-bristled eyeliner brush into the chocolate color eyeshadow, knock off the excess, and press the shadow to the outer base of the lower lashline.
Then, dip the brush into the darker shade, repeating the technique for extra depth and a perfectly smudged eye.
Apply false lashes.
Use mascara on your lower lashes.
Use a white highlighter with a glittery finish, Apply only to the inner corner of the eye for extra glamour!
10. Highlight
Apply highlighter in a large “C” shape around the top of the eyebrows down to the cheekbones.
Then, add highlighter down the center of your nose, in three short lines in the space between your nose and upper lip, and around your mouth at the Cupid’s bow.
11. Set makeup with a spray
Spray your makeup with a spray. Let it dry thoroughly.
12. Lip makeup
Apply lip primer all over your lips, then a matte or shiny lip gloss in a rich, deep shade.
