1. Apply concealer under the eyes and at the brow bone. I always cover below the brow because it gives you a little bit of highlight.
2. Apply foundation all over the face. I extend my foundation under my chin so it's not "mask-like".
3. Brush your brows so that you create a shapely arch. Then apply the brow color over your own brow wherever there is any unevenness. The color also creates symmetry if both brows grow differently.
4. Making a "fishy face", use a soft bristled blush brush to sweep the color outwards onto your cheekbones. I have high cheek bones, so I tend to have my blush a little higher up on my face. I also apply a little dab onto my nose.
5. Apply the eyeliner just under your eye half way across as close to the lash line as possible. Then, use the smudge stick on the opposite side to create a softer look.
6. Using the LIGHT color of your choice, Sweep the eyeshadow over the entire eye. This gives your eye a great starting point.
Using a MEDIUM shade of eyeshadow, sweep it from the far edge of the eye to the middle, and blend upward toward the brow bone. It is VERY important to BLEND!!! This gives your eye great depth.
Using the DARKEST color, and a thin brush, create a diagonal line from the edge of your eye to the brow bone and then lightly across the crease of the eye. This gives the illusion of an open eye, rather than droopy if you were to round out the color. Blend this as well.
Apply a SHIMMERY light color to both the corners of your eyes closest to the nose and right under the brow. This creates your highlight.
7. Apply mascara. Slowly glide the wand across the lashes horizontally upwards. This helps to distribute the mascara and it won't clump as easily.
8. Sweep the skin light loose powder under the eye to further highlight.
9. Apply the lipstick
10. Use the lip liner afterward. The matte lipstick is very thick, so you won't see the lines if you apply it first. Using your finger, blend the liner slightly into the lipstick.
And then.....
The result!
