Full Glam

Step by step

1. 1

   Full-coverage base

   Apply foundation in thin layers until your skin looks even, blending well at the jaw.

   Check the shade on your jaw in daylight. It should disappear.

2. 2

   Concealer

   Dot under your eyes and around the sides of your nose, then tap to blend.

   Less is more. You can always add a second dot.

3. 3

   Contour

   Draw a soft line under your cheekbones and along your jaw, then blend it up and out.

   Stop at about the middle of your eye. Blend until there is no line.

4. 4

   Setting powder

   Press a little translucent powder on your forehead, nose and chin with a puff or fluffy brush.

   Press, don’t swipe, so your base stays smooth.

5. 5

   Crease shade

   With a fluffy brush, sweep a medium shade back and forth in your crease.

   Small windshield-wiper moves give the softest blend.

6. 6

   Shimmer lids

   Pat a soft shimmer across your lid with your fingertip.

   Fingers press shimmer on brighter than a brush.

7. 7

   Winged liner

   Draw a thin line along your top lashes from the middle out, then flick a short wing toward the end of your brow.

   Start small. You can always make the wing longer.

8. 8

   Lashes

   Curl your lashes, then add two coats of mascara or a strip of natural-looking lashes.

   Trim strip lashes to fit your eye before you glue them.

9. 9

   Highlight

   Tap a little on the top of your cheekbones, down your nose bridge and on your cupid’s bow.

   Turn your face to the light to see exactly where it catches.

10. 10

    Blush

    Smile, and tap it onto the raised part of your cheeks, then blend up toward your temples.

    Blend upward, never down. It lifts the whole face.

11. 11

    Lips

    Line your lips first, following your natural shape, then fill in with color.

    A touch of gloss in the center makes lips look fuller.
