Perfect Makeup Application

Step 1: Start with a clean slate! Make sure your face is fresh and moisturized before putting any product on it. Then, apply primer with your fingers to ensure your makeup lasts all day.

Step 2: Using a duo fiber brush (the kind with white tips!), apply foundation all over the skin and blend it onto the neck.

Step 3: Apply concealer below your eyes in the shape of a triangle. This technique ensures natural-looking coverage, brightens up your face and draws attention to your eyes.

Step 4: Apply highlighter along the top of your cheekbones, on the Cupid’s bow, chin and in between the brows. Then, swipe a contour powder along the sides of your nose, along the forehead (near your hairline) and hollows of your cheekbones.

Step 5: Apply blush to the apples of your cheeks, extending up toward the temples.

Step 6: Apply a light gold, shimmery shadow (or any shadow of your choice) to the lids and just below the lash line. Using a fluffy, blending brush, dust a soft brown shade into the crease and blend outward. Fill in your brows using a brow pencil or powder. Swipe on some mascara and your eye makeup is set!

Step 7: Using a lip brush, swipe on a natural, rosy pink lipstick and you’re good to go!
