My favourite primer at the moment; just makes your skin feel lovely and your make up glide on

Bottom left & top right under eyes to cover dark circles and a little of middle left on the really red bits

Love this foundation; great coverage without feeling heavy. “Tap” it on using your fingers, you will only need a tiny amount if you use this method. Once happy set in place with your powder (if required). I forgot to photograph this stage.

Sweep highlighter over your cheekbones and down the center of your nose. I use the same brush I apply the powder with as I think it gives a subtler finish.

Sweep blusher just below your cheekbones so that it blends with the highlighter. It will also define your cheekbones without looking as “done” as a bronzer. Again, I used the same brush that was used for powder & highlighter.

IMG_8392
Using the same/clean brush take a little of “Moving Car” and blend this OVER “Sex Chromosome” and blend up and out to fade, it just helps to make the dark colour look a little pinker.

Taking a flat eyeshadow brush pat “Take A Chance” all over the clean part of the lid (over the top of “Million Dollar Contract”. Be sure to take it right up to the crease so that it meets “Sex Chromosome” & “Moving Car”.

Using a clean brush, apply “We Love You” to the inner corner of the eye, on the brow bone and to any “clean” parts of the lid, this will just help merge the whole look together

I enhance my brows before applying the light colour to the brow bone. Obviously if you have full brows you can just carry on.

I apply another coat of mascara after the glue is totally dry. I find the Avon Mega Effects Mascara works brilliantly with false lashes
