Instructions
1. Apply makeup primer to your face with your fingertips.
2. Apply liquid foundation to your skin, then use a foundation brush to gently press the product into place.
3. Restore brightness to your face by applying light-colored concealer with the applicator wand. Apply the product below your eyes and on the inner corners of your eyelids as well as on the center of your forehead, bridge of your nose, above your Cupid’s bow and on the center of your chin. Press the concealer into your skin with the makeup sponge.
4. Use dark-colored concealer to contour your cheeks, upper forehead and nose as well as your jawline and the area immediately below and above your lips. Stipple the product into your skin with the foundation brush.
5. Set the unde-reye area as well as the forehead and area below your cheek contour by applying loose powder with the makeup sponge. Dust off the excess powder with a fluffy cheek brush.
6. Swirl bronzer along the cheekbones, temples and eyelids with the cheek brush.
7. Pat dusty pink blush onto your cheeks with the angled cheek brush. Apply the product from the center of your cheek outward toward the hairline in a diagonal direction toward the top of your ear.
8. Highlight your cheekbones, nose, Cupid’s bow, chin and the area just above your brows by applying pearly quartz highlighter with a tapered brush.
9. Outline your brows, and fill in missing hairs with brow cream. Use an angled brow brush for precision.
10. Sweep pale pink eye shadow along the crease of your eyelid with the blending brush.
11. Layer metallic rose eye shadow over the pink to give the crease more warmth and depth.
12. Apply warm candy-pink pressed pigment onto the outer corner of your lid, then sweep the pigment along the crease toward the inner corner of your eye. Use a short-bristled eye shadow brush to prevent the pigment from scattering. Tip: Pressed pigment can be messy, so tap your brush against the counter before applying the color to your lid. This will prevent excess product from settling below your eyes.
13. Pat metallic rose-gold sparkle pressed pigment onto the center of your lid as well as the inner corner with a flat shader brush.
14. Use the flat shader brush to press warm candy-pink pigment below your lower lashes.
15. Use the same brush to press metallic rose-gold pigment below your tear duct.
16. 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.
17. Position a cluster of three adhesive rhinestones above the tear duct with tweezers.
18. Press a single adhesive rhinestone below your lower lashes in the center.
19. Outline your lips with brownish nude lip liner, then fill them in with peach lipstick. Use your finger to gently blend the liner and lipstick together.
