Go from just woke up to all glammed up

In a perfect world, we could roll out of bed looking glamorous and amazing. Alas, most of us need a little extra help hiding imperfections and accentuating our best features. When an occasion calls for full-on glam with false lashes and all, several steps are involved. The following tutorial will walk you through each of them, so you’ll know how to address key areas when the time arises.

One of the best beauty innovations is illuminating primer. It wipes away sallowness in an instant and gives skin a lit-from-within glow. This tutorial uses every makeup tool in the arsenal, but feel free to skip anything that doesn’t seem necessary. If you already have great skin, you can skip foundation, and concealer isn’t a necessity if you’ve gotten plenty of rest.

Instructions
1. Counteract sallowness and dull skin by patting and pressing illuminating primer into your skin. Allow it to dry before continuing.

2. Fill in your brows with brow pencil.

3. Even out your skin by applying foundation with a foundation brush.

4. Brighten your face by applying light-colored concealer to the center of your forehead, below your eyes, above your Cupid’s bow, and on the tip of your chin. Press the product into the foundation with a damp beauty sponge.

5. Accentuate your cheekbones, temples and upper forehead with dark-colored concealer. Apply the product to each area with the applicator wand, then press it into your skin with a contouring brush. Tip: Try not to brush too hard, or you will alter the underlying foundation.

6. Press loose setting powder onto each area where you applied light-colored concealer. Using a damp beauty sponge will help the powder bond with the cream product underneath. Tip: Allow the powder to “bake” on your skin and brush it off later.

7. Swirl bronzer onto the upper forehead and along the cheekbones with a cheek brush.

8. Prime the eye area by patting yellow-beige cream eye shadow onto the area with a concealer brush. Allow the product to dry thoroughly before proceeding; otherwise, blending your eye shadow will be difficult.

9. Sweep deep-orange eye shadow into the crease with a blending brush in windshield-wiper motions.

10. Darken the outer corner of the lid and the lower portion of the crease by applying cinnamon-brown eye shadow with the blending brush.

11. Smoke out the outer third of the upper lash line with dark-coffee eye shadow. Use a small eye shadow brush for precision.

12. Layer black eye shadow over the dark-coffee color on the lash line to amplify the intensity. Tip: Layering colors yields a deeper, richer color than applying just a single shade.

13. Sweep deep-orange eye shadow under the lower lashes with a pencil brush.

14. Layer dark-coffee eye shadow over the orange beneath your lower lashes.

15. Sweep away the excess powder on your chin and below your eyes with the powder brush.

16. Apply black mascara to your lashes.

17. Hold the false lashes with the tweezers, and apply 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 lashes.

18. Give your cheeks a pop of color by patting peachy pink blush onto the apples with a cheek brush.

19. Protect your makeup and help it last longer by spritzing your face with setting spray.

20. Bring light to your features by tapping highlighting powder onto the tops of your cheekbones, above your eyebrows and along your nose with a tapered brush.

21. Apply pinky nude lipstick to your lips.
