GET THE LOOK:
1. FOUNDATION: Start with clean, moisturized skin. Apply the
Make Up For Ever Skin Equalizer primer best for your skin type; we used Mattifying Primer on Natalie's combination skin. Using a damp
beautyblender sponge, apply
Make Up For Ever HD Invisible Coverage Foundation, a high-definition foundation that photographs beautifully; we used #117 on Natalie. Finally, as needed to conceal under eyes and on the face, use the F75 concealer brush from the
Sigma Complete Kit to brush on the right shade(s) from
Make Up For Ever 5 Camouflage Cream Palette; we used the No. 1 palette. (Alternatively, you can use a powder-foundation, like
Make Up For Ever Pro Finish, over concealer.)
2. POWDER: Set foundation with loose or pressed powder. Try
Make Up For Ever Super Matte Loose Powder in 12 Translucent Natural or
HD Pressed Powder which is best for light skin tones.
3. BRONZER & HIGHLIGHTER: Using the F40 brush from the Sigma kit, apply the bronzer from Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Bronze & Glow where you would normally apply bronzer. Then using the F35 brush from the kit, very lightly apply highlighter to the tops of cheekbones.
4. EYE SHADOWS: Using the E55 brush, apply the warm shimmery medium-brown shade from
Maybelline The Nudes Palette to the lids and bottom lash line. Then apply the warm shimmery dark-brown shade to the outer 1/3 of the lids and blend in to 1/2 lid.
5. EYELINER: Apply
Make Up For Ever Artist Liner in M-10 Matte Black along the top lash line. Then apply
Make Up For Ever Artist Liner in M-60 Matte Dark Brown along 3/4 of the bottom lash line.
6. MASCARA: Apply two coats of
Make Up For Ever Smoky Extravagant mascara to top lashes.
7. BROW GEL: Brush on one coat of
Make Up For Ever Brow Seal to keep brow hairs up and in place.
8. LIPSTICK: Apply
Clinique Pop Lip Colour + Primer in Poppy Pop. For day: Swipe on one coat, then lightly blot for a subdued look. For night: Apply a second coat and lightly blot again for a brighter energetic look.
