Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Tinted moisturizer with sunscreen
• Concealer (optional)
• Concealer brush
• Crème eye shadow
• Pencil eyeliner
• Brow powder
• Mascara
• Cheek/Lip tint combo
• Lip gloss

1. Apply tinted moisturizer to a fresh clean face. Tinted moisturizers are a three-in-one product acting as a moisturizer, sunscreen and lightweight foundation. No matter how much of a hurry you're in, you should never leave the house without applying sunscreen to your face.

2. If you have dark circles or any noticeable blemishes, use the concealer brush to dot a little concealer onto the problem area and blend well. Using a brush allows you to blend in the concealer better and in turn creates a smoother appearance.

3. Target the brows next. Using the applicator brush that is given with the brow powder, follow the brow's natural line with a light coating of color. Just color the brows so that they are slightly darker than your natural hair shade. Once the brows are done, they will create a frame for your face.

4. Then with your fingers, smooth the crème eye shadow over the lids right under the crease. Crème versions last longer and the color stays true throughout the day without fading. They also act like an eye shadow primer should you decide to apply and blend in more than one color, keeping colors in tact and long lasting.

6. Slide the pencil eyeliner across the eyes right by the lash line starting from the inner crease to the outer in a smooth, straight line. Repeat the same for the bottom lash line, covering the entire eye.

7. Finish the eyes with a few strokes of mascara to your upper and lower lashes until you reach your desired intensity.

8. Use your fingers to apply the cheek tint in an upward direction on the apples of your cheeks.

9. Conclude with a tinted lip gloss over your smackers and you are ready to roll.
