Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Moisturizer
• Foundation
• Pink or peach blush
• Pearl eye shadow
• Liquid black eyeliner
• Lash thickening mascara
• Eyebrow powder or pencil
• Nude, pink or peach lipstick
• Clear lip gloss

1. Cleanse your face and apply moisturizer. Makeup applications go smoother when you work with a clean and moisturized canvas.

2. Apply foundation to your entire face. Nicole Richie's foundation never looks caked on so be sure to apply it lightly and blend completely.

3. Use a light pink or peach blush on your cheeks, since these are the colors Nicole Richie primarily uses. The exact shade depends on what color skin you have.

4. Apply pearl eye shadow. Nicole Richie uses neutral or nude pearl colors. Apply the lightest shade to the area from your eyelid to the crease. Apply a darker color to the crease area. Finish off with the lightest color in the brow bone area.

5. Accentuate your eyes. Nicole Richie uses a liquid black eyeliner that is applied to both the upper and lower lids. Apply enough coats of the liquid eyeliner to get to your desired line thickness.

6. Curl your lashes and apply two coats of black mascara to your upper and lower lashes. Nicole Richie prefers to use a lash thickening mascara. Use a powder or pencil, in a color that is one shade darker than your hair color, to define your eyebrows.

7. Finish with a lipstick in nude, pink or peach. Make sure to select a very light shade. Nicole Richie often uses a coat of sheer lip gloss after applying her lipstick to make her lips glisten.
