1. Prime the face

First up, you’re going to want to apply primer to the skin. A couple of pumps is all you need. Apply it all over your face with your fingers. It smooths out your skin and preps it perfectly for foundation.

2. Apply foundation

Next, pop a bit of foundation on the back of your hand and use a foundation brush to apply it all over your face.

3. Apply eye primer

Moving on to the eyes, let’s go in with some eye primer. A little goes a long way. Apply it with a concealer brush. Eye primer smooths out any crepiness and neutralizes discoloration, ensuring your eyeshadow stays put all day.

4. Add some rose gold eyeshadow

For a subtle wash of color, I’m using a pretty rose gold eyeshadow and applying it with an eyeshadow brush.

5. Add gray eyeliner

Gently line your upper lids with a soft gray eyeliner pencil and add a little bit under your eyes.

6. Apply mascara

Time to enhance those lashes with some mascara! Wiggle the brush through the base of your lashes for a fuller look.

7. Shape the brows

Eyebrows can really frame your face. Groom your brows with a spoolie brush first, then apply your brow pen or pencil in feathery strokes to fill in any gaps. Use the spoolie again to soften the look.

8. Add blusher

Add a pop of color to your cheeks with some blusher. Apply it with your fingers and blend with a blusher brush.

9. Apply lipstick

For lips, start with a coral-color lipstick (or whatever color suits you best). Then, to soften the bold lip color, apply a beige lipstick on top. Use a lip brush to keep your coral shade from transferring.

10. Final touches

With a couple of minutes left, check your look. Maybe add a bit more blush or another coat of mascara. Make sure everything is blended well and even.
