Start with the Brows
To perfect the eyebrows, use a bare mascara wand and brush them up and over (towards the ear.) Use a brow pencil (or eyeshadow with a #11 brush) that is similar to your hair color and use a feathering motion to apply the pencil (or shadow) on the brows following their natural brow shape.
Get the Cat Eye You've Always Wanted
For the cat eye look, you will use the Jet Gel eyeliner with a #11 brush. Dip your #11 brush lightly into the Jet Gel…then take a tissue or your palette and concentrate the gel right in the center of the brush by dabbing it on either side (this will prevent the line from getting too thick.) Starting from the center of the eye, use a patting/striking motion right along the lash line. Once you get close to the outer corner, look straight ahead.
Apply your Foundation Flawlessly
Take the #2 brush, or #17 brush, and choose a shade of foundation that is a shade/shade-and-a-half darker than their skin. Locate their natural cheekbone (if you have trouble finding it, suck in your cheeks as if you are making “fish lips” and find the natural bone line.) Using the preferred brush, take a little bit of the contour (the darker foundation) and start from the center of the cheekbone and follow your natural bone line the hair line to about half way down the bone. Keep in mind where you initially set the brush down, the most product will be deposited; therefore, starting in the center of the cheekbone gives you the ability to blend it out in both directions. Also, make sure not to take the contour UNDER the cheekbone, if you do this, it makes the face look like it is sagging a bit.
Illuminate Yourself
Using a #17 brush, take your desired highlighter (Atlantis, or Inca) and using buffing motions apply it around the orbital bone. This will help you get a luminous look.
Let Your Lips do the Talkin'
To prep the lips, apply a thin layer of the Moisture Base lipstick with the #6 lip brush. Then apply the Magic lip pencil using the side of the pencil, not the tip, starting from the outer edges working up into the cupid’s bow. Once you have the liner around your lips, use the side of the pencil to fill in your lips with the liner color. That way the color “stains” your lips so if the lipstick wears off you still have color on.
