Instructions
1. As always, start with a clean face. Apply SPF facial cream to your face to moisturize, protect, and prep your skin.
2. Using your fingers, apply Smashbox Photo Finish Radiance primer to your face massaging the primer into your skin. Press any remainder into your pores. This blurs your skin for a flawless appearance.
3. With a short, dense foundation or concealer brush, apply a small amount from your MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot to both eyelids. Blend to your eyebrow line.
4. Dapple your eye shadow brush in color "Single" from Morphe's "The James Charles Palette." Tap and blend the pink color starting at the outer corner of your eye and blending into your crease.
5. Dapple your eye shadow brush in color "Escape" from Morphe's "The James Charles Palette." Layer this purple hue just inside the pink, but angle it across the center of the eye.
6. Dapple your eye shadow brush in color "Skip" from Morphe's "The James Charles Palette." Apply this bright pink color with a denser eye shadow brush to the inner corner of your eye blending outward.
7. Apply your favorite false lashes for drama.
8. Now that your eye makeup is just about complete, you can brush away any particles that have fallen onto your face and continue with your face makeup.
9. Apply the Loréal Infallible 24 Hour Freshwear foundation onto your face with a beauty blender. Dampen the sponge with water for dewy, lighter coverage. Be sure to use a stippling motion with the blender instead of swiping the foundation onto your face.
10. Using Tarte Double Duty Shape Tape Contour concealer, begin to contour your face. Apply lighter tones to the under-eye, the center of your nose, and between the eyebrows. Apply the contrasting darker tone below the cheekbones and edges of your hairline. Blend with the beauty blender.
11. Apply Laura Mercier translucent setting powder with your beauty blender to the under eyes, nose, forehead, and chin to accentuate your highlight.
12. With a fluffy powder brush, swipe and blend Fenty Beauty Sun Stalk'r Instant Warmth bronzer "Private Island" over where you applied the warm-toned contour concealer to bronze your face.
13. Bake beneath your cheekbone contour by gently swiping translucent powder in the space between your contour and jawline with the beauty blender. Let that sit for 30 seconds or so before blending into your makeup with a powder brush.
14. Using NYX Tame & Frame Tinted Brow pomade in a color closest to your brows, fill in any sparse areas with a dense, angled brow-brush.
15. Finish off your eye makeup look by swiping the brightest pink shade "Skip" under your eyes to encase the eye in color. Swipe the lashes with mascara.
16. For a final touch to the eye, dab Bare Minerals "Nude Beach" to the innermost corner of the eyes. This technique will reflect light and brighten the eyes.
17. Lastly, apply Tarte Sea Color Splash lipstick "Rum Punch" to the lips followed by Bare Minerals Gen Nude Buttercream lip gloss "Totally".
