Step 1
Prepare your skin. Before applying makeup, it is essential that you prep your skin. Wash your face with a facial cleanser, and towel dry it gently. Soak a cotton ball with toner and apply the toner to your face. Because Halle is in her 40s, she likes to use products such as Ole Henriksin Truth Serum Collagen Booster followed by Ole Henriksin Herbal Day Cream with SPF 15 to help moisturize her skin and minimize fine lines. Apply your favorite moisturizer and allow at least 5 to 10 minutes before proceeding to the next step.

Step 2
Apply foundation. To create a flawless looking face, it is necessary to apply foundation. Halle Berry is a Revlon model and swears by its products. She likes to use Revlon's Colorstay Foundation because of its lasting power. Choose a foundation that suits your skin type and dot the foundation onto your forehead, cheeks, nose and chin. Use your fingers, a damp sponge or a foundation brush to blend the foundation into your skin. If you are using a product such as Revlon Colorstay Foundation, work quickly because long lasting foundations tend to dry pretty quickly.

Step 3
Conceal what you need to. While foundation works wonders, it doesn't always cover up everything you'd like it to. When that happens, use a concealer to get a little more coverage. Halle likes to use concealer to cover up her undereye circles and conceal any blemishes. Dot the concealer under your eyes and onto any blemishes you may have. Use your ring finger to lightly blend the concealer into your skin. Finish up with a light dusting of face powder.

Step 4
Play up your cheekbones. Halle has incredible cheekbones and likes to use blush to play them up. Apply a light dusting of bronzer to your face to give your skin a golden glow. A slightly bronzed face makes blush really stand out. Look into the mirror and smile to locate where your cheekbones are. Load your blush brush with blush and apply the blush to the apples of your cheeks. Halle likes to use wine and berry colored blushes to accentuate her cheekbones.

Step 5
Create the eyes. When it comes to her eye makeup, Halle likes to wear a dramatic eye. She achieves this by applying eyeshadow, lining her eyes and generously applying mascara. Choose three eyeshadow shades. You need a neutral brown that is no more than two shades darker than your skin, a dark brown shadow and a matte shadow that is two shades lighter than the neutral brown shadow. Apply the neutral brown shadow as a wash over your entire eyelid. Apply the dark brown shadow to the crease of your eye and blend the two colors together using a blending brush. Use the matte eye shadow to highlight your brow bone. Once your shadow is complete, line your top and bottom lash lines with a smoky gray eyeliner. Curl your eyelashes with an eyelash curler and finish up by applying two coats of mascara. Halle likes to use Revlon's Fabulash Mascara.

Step 6
Finish up the look. Halle tends to stick with neutral lip colors that accentuate her full lips. Line your lips with neutral lip liner that is no more than two shades darker then your natural lip color. Blend the liner into your lips using a lip brush. Follow up by applying a shimmery wine-colored lip gloss. Halle likes to use Revlon's Crème Gloss in Wine Anytime. Rub your lips together. Enjoy your new Halle Berry inspired makeup!
