Step-by-Step:
Step 1: Apply a primer over moisturizer or onto clean skin in order to create a flawless canvas for makeup application. Laura Mercier Radiance Foundation Primer not only creates the ultimate canvas for foundation and makeup, but also provides a sheer, healthy glow for your skin.
Step 2: Choose a lightweight foundation with dewy finish such as Dolce & Gabbana Beauty Perfect Luminous Liquid Foundation. Match it perfectly to your skin tone for an impeccable look. Add a few drops in the palm of your hand; then apply on your face, gently blending with your fingers, using the tap-it-off technique. You can use a sponge as an eraser to remove any extra product.
Step 3: Shaping eyebrows is very important. Brows frame your face and accentuate the beauty of eyes. Go for a powder formula to create a softer effect. A pliable formula like Urban Decay Brow Box, infused with nourishing aloe, beeswax, and coconut, provides the perfect amount of grip without being sticky. Remember, always begin to fill in your brows at the arch; then work your way to the tail. Blend by combing the brows.
Step 4: Keep your eye makeup soft and natural for an angelic look. Choose from any texture of your choice—matte, satin, shimmer, or sparkle—and make sure it is as close to your skin tone as possible. We recommend Urban Decay Naked Palette. It proves that neutral is anything but boring. The ingredients allow color to weave through the eyeshadow formula for insane color payout—sparkle that doesn’t fall, color that stays on your lids, and a velvety, suede-like smoothness and blendability. Curl your lashes and sweep on some M·A·C False Lashes Mascara for long-lasting volume and perfection.
Step 5: Sculpt your face with bronzer. Bronzer not only contours but also adds a sun-kissed glow and vitality to your face. Finish off with pink/peach blush for a dewy natural flush and radiance. We adore NARS Mini Blush & Bronzer Duo. Flattering on any skin tone, the peachy-pink shimmer of Orgasm Blush highlights cheeks with a fresh, natural flush, while the sheer light-brown golden shimmer of Laguna Bronzing Powder contours and adds warmth.
Step 6: Complete the look with a lip shade close to your natural lip color. Choose a hydrating formula with SPF for fuller lips and a healthy smile all day. We love Burberry Beauty Lip Cover Soft Satin Lipstick in Cameo. Apply to your finger and push into the lip to give a more natural color. To enlarge the mouth, use a lighter lipstick in the middle of the lips.
