1st Step:














Start with a cleansed, toned, and moisturized face.

2nd Step:














Apply your choice of concealer anywhere on your face where there are red spots, or acne that you want to hide, and the dark circles under your eyes. Blend into skin thoroughly.

3rd Step:














Apply your Foundation and blend in well.

4th Step:















Apply the reddish colored blush underneath your cheekbones, in a diagonal way, and blend into the skin well.

5th Step:
Brush on your translucent
powder.

6th Step:















Fill in brows with an eyebrow pencil and go over them with a clear brow gel to keep them in place ( I know my eyebrows don't match, that's why I have bangs to cover them!)

7th Step:














Apply your eye primer(i'm just using a concealer) to the entire area of your lid/browbone and blend in well.

8th Step:














Taking a medium sized, soft eyeshadow brush, apply your skin colored/shimmery eyeshadow all over the lid, stopping at your crease.

9th Step:














Taking an angled crease brush and your medium brown eyeshadow, with windshield wiper motions, fill in just the crease and blend, blend, blend!

10th Step:














Take a big stiff eyeshadow brush and the lightest shimmery brown color and place it underneath your brow as highlight. Then take a big fluffy blending brush and blend it all together.

11th Step:














Line the top lash line and half of the bottom lash line thinly with your red/dark pink eyeliner and fill your waterline in with a white eye pencil.

12th Step:














Take a cutip and gently smudge the eyeliner lines out to give it a more smokey-ish effect.

13th Step:














Curl your eyelashes.

14th Step:





























Apply Black Mascara, and then you are done the eyes! now onto the lips! ooo la la!

15th Step:



















Apply a moisturizing lipchap and let it sink in for a couple of minutes, we are going to go for a lip stain, not the whole heavy lipstick look.

16th Step:



















Take your red lipstick and gently pat it on your lips and mix it with the lipchap until you get your desired level of redness. Then apply a clear gloos over it to make it last longer.

Now go show off your awesome look to your friends!
