  1. 1

    Perfect canvas

    A long-lasting base that stays put.

    • Prime with a pore-blurring, shine-control primer.
    • Build full-coverage foundation in thin layers.
    • Color correct if needed, then use a high-coverage concealer.
    • Set the T-zone with translucent or pressed powder.
  2. 2

    Bold eyes

    Smoky or winged eyes that turn heads.

    • Consider doing eyes first so fallout does not ruin your base.
    • Blend a transition shade through the crease.
    • Press a deeper shade onto the lid.
    • Add a sharp wing or smoky liner, plus optional false lashes.
  3. 3

    Contour and highlight

    Sculpt for a red-carpet finish.

    • Use matte contour under the cheekbones, along the jaw and down the sides of the nose.
    • Blend until there are no visible lines.
    • Highlight the cheekbones, nose bridge, brow bone and cupid’s bow.
  4. 4

    Blush and bronzer

    Add warmth so the face does not look flat.

    • Dust bronzer around the hairline and under the cheekbones.
    • Apply a bolder coral or rosy blush to the apples.
    • Blend blush and contour together.
  5. 5

    Statement lips

    Finish with a bold, precise lip.

    • Exfoliate and moisturize the lips.
    • Line, and overline if you like, with a matching pencil.
    • Apply red, berry or deep nude lipstick.
    • Clean the edges with concealer.
