1.Apply a base of foundation to even out your skin tone, making sure to blend into the hair line and around the neck. Make sure that your face is evenly covered and there are no patches to start.
2. Apply concealer under the eyes and to the eye lids to block out any darkness that might have appeared through the foundation. This should give you an even base when it comes to applying eye shadow and also will make your eyes seem brighter and more awake.
3. Apply loose powder all over your face to set your foundation and concealer. Make sure to put a little extra on the concealer under your eyes to make sure it sets and avoid creasing as the night goes on.
4. The next step is to apply bronzer to the hallows of your cheeks. The best way to find out where exactly that is is to suck your cheeks in and that will give you the line of where your bronzer should be applied. Also bring it up around your temples and down to your jaw bone. The best way to achieve this is by using a c motion. Make sure to blend as well as you can to avoid it looking like a dark line across your face.The more you apply the stronger the look will be.
5. Apply blusher on the apples of your cheeks and then to soften it out bring it up towards your temple. Any colour of blusher can be used , I used a blusher from Bobbi Brown called Apricot to give me a fresh look.
6.The next step is to fill in your eyebrows. These are one of the most important features of a persons face and can often be forgotten by many. There are many different products that can be used to get the perfect eyebrow. I personally use an eye pencil and an eyeshadow to set it. I use the pencil to fill in the start of the brow and then mainly concentrate on the end. I then use and angles brush to smooth out the pencil and make my desired eyebrow shape. Then use a little eyeshadow to fill in any spaces you might have missed and also to set the pencil.
7. The next step is to apply an eye primer. My favourite at the moment is the Urban Decay one.Apply that all over the eye lid. Then using a bright orange apply that on the lid too making sure not to bring it over the crease.. This is used as the base colour. Then using a purple apply to the crease making sure to blend very well so that it blends perfectly into the orange . Then using a pencil brush(small pointy one) apply a bit of black into the outer corner of the eye. Make sure to blend this out too using a blending brush. The less you blend the more dramatic it is but remember you dont want it to look so obvious so blend the colour but remember you can keep adding more to get the intensity. then using the purple apply a small line of purple under the eye. Make sure it is blended out and then with a little black apply that at the outter corner to give a more sultry look. I then used a gold liner to line my water line to open my eyes a bit so that they werent too dark. White could also be used. Also apply a little white eyeshadow to the inner eye and under your eyebrow . This will help to brighten it all up.
8. The next step is to apply gel liner to your eye lid. I went for the winged liner look but you could just as easily not. Its totally personal preference. Make sure thought to make it as even and smooth as possible . Nothing worse than patchy liner.Then apply lots and lots of mascara. You may even apply fake eyelashes for a more dramatic look.
9. Finish off your look with a bit of gloss. I used a natural one from Nars called Orgasm.
Voila :) Hope this helps and if you have an questions please dont hesitate to ask them :)
