Instructions
1. Apply moisturizer over your entire face. This will help keep skin looking fresh and plump, while helping makeup adhere better.
2. Apply an illuminating primer across your face, focusing especially on the high points.
3. Use a liquid concealer underneath the eyes and around the nose to cover up any discoloration. Tap in with a finger for a natural finish.
4. Using the same concealer, spot conceal any blemishes, and tap with a finger to blend.
5. Take an eyebrow pomade close to your natural shade on an angled brush and use to fill in any sparse areas in your brows. Brush through with a spoolie for a softer look.
6. Apply black mascara to your top and bottom eyelashes.
7. Take a matte bronzer on a fluffy face brush and apply in the contours of the cheekbones, for a natural but sculpted effect.
8. Using the same blush, softly apply a warm toned pink blusher onto the apples of the cheeks.
9. Apply a clear lip balm to ensure lips look nourished with a slightly sheen.
