Besides, any look that appears breathtakingly effortless usually requires quite a bit of work. It's so worth it though when you step out on the town looking like a Hollywood starlet.
This classic yet striking lip transcends occasions and time of day. Stunning on everyone, it's a signature style for some and a rare occurrence for others. Follow along below to get the look.

Instructions
1. Gently massage primer into your skin.
2. Using a fluffy foundation brush, rub the CC+ cream onto your face.
3. Swipe concealer under your eyes, and blend with a dense concealer brush. Blend around your eyes and onto your lids for an even application.
4. With a fluffy powder brush, tap and press setting powder over your concealer to set the product.
5. Select a brow pomade that complements your eyebrow color, and fill in sparse brows with an angled brush. Finish your brows by combing upward with a spoolie brush.
6. Using the Too Faced Natural Face palette, brush Sunny Honey below your cheekbones, hairline and jawline with a fluffy brush.
7. Using the same palette, lightly apply Pink Wink to the apples of your cheeks or wherever blush best suits your face shape.
8. Apply mascara to your upper and lower lashes, starting at the base and rolling the applicator up and out for a glamorous lift.
9. Using a dense eye shadow brush, dab highlighter at the inner corner of your eyes to brighten and sparkle.
10. Using Kylie Jenner's Mary Jo K, line your lips. Start in the center, and follow the curve outward. Fill in your lips with liquid color. Use a wet Q-tip to gently remove any mess.
11. Evenly mist your face with setting spray for a dewy and reliable finish.
12. Lightly brush highlighter onto the tops of your cheekbones, brow bone, nose, chin and Cupid's bow for a truly luminous look.
