1. Skin care

Enhance your complexion by applying a serum stick to clean skin. If you use this on a regular basis, it will help to even out your skin and it serves as a good base for the rest of this glam makeup look.

2. Apply primer

Apply a pore filling primer for your next layer. This fills in pores, fine lines and makes your skin smooth before applying foundation and extends your makeup-wear.

3. Color correct 

Even out your skin with a color corrector. 

Color correcting palette

Apply a peach color under your eyes and various other areas to cancel out blue and purple undertones. 

Color correcting

Blend out the edges with your fingers. Give it a couple of minutes to completely dry before you continue with this full glam makeup look.

4. Apply foundation

Apply dots of foundation all over your face. Avoid the under eye area, since we’ll be applying concealer there. 

Applying foundation

Press the foundation with a brush, rather than dragging it. This way it settles over your color corrector without mixing in with it. Blend some of the foundation to your neck.

5. Apply concealer

Apply a liquid concealer to the areas where you have dark patches. For me, that’s around my mouth and underneath my eyes. Let this dry for a few minutes until it’s tacky. 

Applying concealer

Then blend it out with a dry, beauty blender. Dry is key, because it won’t absorb as much product.

6. Highlight with a lighter shade of concealer

For this full glam look, highlight the high planes of your face with a lighter shade of concealer to bring those features forward. 

Highlighting the face

Blend everything out with your dry sponge.

7. Apply bronzer

Add cream bronzer to a brush and apply it to the hollows of your cheeks, the jawline and around the circumference of your face.

Then apply it with your fingers to sculpt your nose.

8. Set your makeup and bake

Apply a translucent powder to set your makeup. This will also prevent creasing since the makeup won’t move.


Lightly set it underneath your eyes before using a dry sponge to bake it in your high planes.

Setting the makeup

Baking is a technique where you apply powder over your concealer and let it sit for a few minutes. The warmth from your body bakes the concealer with the powder to brighten up the high planes.

9. Perfect your brows 

Use a spoolie to tame the direction of your brows. Then fill in the sparse areas with the brow pencil in hair-like strokes.

Filling the brows in

Add a few strokes in the inner part of your brows.

Filling the brows in

Use some concealer to clean up underneath your brow line. 

Applying concealer under the brows

Then use concealer as the base for your eye makeup.

Start with a rosy shade of eyeshadow.

Eyeshadow palette

Apply it over your mobile lid with a flat, shading brush.

Smudge out the same color at your lower lash line.

Now choose a deep, maroon shade.

Use this to deepen the outer corner of your lid with a blending brush, smoking some of it in the outer crease too with the residue on the brush.

Then use this maroon shade on a smudging brush at your lower lash line, just in the outer corner.

Next, use a tiny amount of a raspberry shade in the crease for a pop of color.

Apply a shimmer with your fingers at the center of your mobile lid. Then blend out the edges with a brush.
