1. Start off with a clean and moisturized face.
2. Wet your sponge and apply powder foundation.
Quote from Xiaxue, “Do it in the direction your facial hair grows.”
3. Massage your face in circular motion. *like washing your face - i find that this makes the powder blend in with your skin better, giving it a more natural effect*
4. Pick up some light gold eyeshadow and apply it to your lids.
5. Next, take some pink eyeshadow (or whichever colour which suits your outfit for the day) and apply it according to the shape of your eye socket.
Like so:
5. Then add some brown eyeshadow for a smokey effect. *dark purple would look great on a night out*
7. Line your lower lids with a pencil liner and smudge it with your pinky.
8. Curl lashes.
9. Apply mascara base.
10. While waiting for the base to dry up, I draw in my brows first. Only use light strokes at the end of your brows for amore natural effect. You wouldn’t want to end up looking like Shin Chan.
11. Black mascara goes on.
12. Blusher on the apples.
13. Dab some lipstick on your finger, then gently pat it on your lips.
Quote from Xiaxue, “don’t spread it on your lips because it is very dry and will be too thick and pasty. Instead, PAT the lipstick on your lips.”
Done!~
