Create a naturally enhanced look with fluttery lashes and strong brows

Makeup trends come and go, but some key elements stand the test of time. Strong brows always enhance the eyes, and a pair of fluttery false lashes intensifies the look of black eyeliner. Although you might be tempted to add glittery eye shadow to this look, it's important not to overdo it.
Bronzing powder creates neutral shadows on the lid. In this look, two separate bronzers double up to provide a balanced eye and cheek look. Keeping the entire makeup look neutral makes it easier to pull off this flirty style during the day. You also can amp it up for nighttime with a bold lip color.

Instructions
1. Fill in the sparse areas of your brows with brow pomade that matches your hair color. Use an angled eyebrow brush to outline the shape and to fill in the brows.
2. Conceal stray brow hairs, and clean up the brow outline by applying liquid foundation with a concealer brush. Slowly drag the brush under the brow bone, then sweep the brush above the brows as well, pressing the product in as you go. Press a damp beauty sponge against the foundation to push the product into your skin.
3. Prepare your skin for makeup by applying moisturizer all over your face. Wait a few minutes for the product to sink in, then proceed with the remaining steps.
4. Apply liquid foundation to your face, then stipple it into place with a foundation brush. Pat and press the brush against your skin in a downward motion instead of swirling it. This will ensure a flawless finish and prevent facial hair from sticking up. Next, press the damp beauty blender against your skin to absorb excess foundation.
5. To restore radiance, layer CC cream over your foundation with a foundation brush. Press the product into your skin with a damp beauty sponge to absorb any excess product.
6. Bring light to the under-eye area by applying liquid concealer with the applicator wand. Press the product into your skin with the damp beauty sponge.
7. Contour the corners of your forehead as well as your cheekbones and temples by applying dark cream foundation with an angled contouring brush. Pat and press the product into your skin to meld it with your foundation, then use a damp beauty sponge to remove the excess product.
8. Tap a small amount of colorless setting powder into the lid of the jar. Dip the damp beauty sponge into the powder, then press it against the under-eye area as well as the forehead, nose, cheeks and chin to set your makeup. Sweep away any excess powder with the fluffy powder brush.
9. Warm up your complexion by dusting matte bronzing powder along your upper forehead, temples and cheekbones with a cheek brush.
10. Layer shimmering bronzing powder over the matte bronzer used in step nine.
11. Swirl peachy pink blush onto the apples of your cheeks with the cheek brush.
12. Use the matte bronzing powder and a fluffy blending brush in the crease of the eye to give depth.
13. Apply shimmering bronzing powder to the eyelids with an eye shadow brush. Tip: Using the same colors on your cheeks and eyes helps your makeup look cohesive.
14. Curl your lashes with the eyelash curler, then apply one or two coats of black mascara to your upper and lower lashes.
15. Hold the false lashes with your fingers or a pair of tweezers, then put a small amount of lash glue onto the lash band. Let the glue set for 10 seconds, then apply the lashes just above your upper lash line.
16. Apply black liquid liner to both the upper and lower lash lines. When completing the lower lash line, apply individual dots initially, then connect them to complete the look.
17. Line your upper and lower waterlines with black eyeliner pencil to help make your lashes look dense.
18. Line your lips with reddish-brown lip pencil to prevent your lipstick from feathering.
19. Fill in your lips with rosy brown lip gloss.
20. Set your makeup with setting spray. Keep the bottle at least 6 inches away from your skin to prevent wet droplets from ruining your foundation.
