1. **Base**: Blend foundation from the center outward, then brighten under your eyes with concealer. _Tip: Check the shade on your jaw in daylight. It should disappear._
2. **Base shade**: Pat a medium brown shade all over your lid, up to the crease. _Tip: Tap off extra powder from the brush first._
3. **Smoky corners**: Press a deeper shade into the outer corner, then smudge a little along your lower lashes. _Tip: Connect the top and bottom at the outer corner for a lifted shape._
4. **Smudged liner**: Line your upper and lower lashes, then smudge the line with a small brush. _Tip: Smudge it while it’s fresh, before it sets._
5. **Mascara**: Look down into the mirror, wiggle the wand at the roots of your top lashes and sweep up. _Tip: Two coats on the top lashes for more drama._
6. **Blush**: Smile, and tap it onto the raised part of your cheeks, then blend up toward your temples. _Tip: Blend upward, never down. It lifts the whole face._
7. **Nude lip**: Keep your lips soft with a nude lipstick or balm. _Tip: With a strong eye, a quiet lip looks most elegant._
