Step 1. Base: Prep skin with Futurist Aqua Brilliance Primer, applying a small amount all over face with fingertips. Apply 1-2 pumps of Double Wear Stay-In-Place Makeup with a foundation brush or beauty blender. Stipple and blend into the skin starting from the centre of your face and working your way out. To add a glowy finish to your look, mix in 1-2 drops of Advanced Night Repair Serum to your foundation before applying. Apply Double Wear Stay-in-Place Concealer under the eyes and on the face, and blend with concealer brush or beauty blender where needed to perfect your base.  

Step 2. Bronzer: Using a blush brush or contour brush, sweep a small amount of Bronze Goddess Bronzing Powder in an “E” shape from temples, under cheekbones, on jawline and across the bridge of your nose.

Step 3. Blush and Highlight: Use a blush brush to apply Pure Color Envy Sculpting Blush to the apples of your cheeks and sweep up to the top of the cheekbones. Finish with Bronze Goddess Highlighting Powder on the high points of your cheek bones, tip of nose and chin.  

Step 4. Eyes: Using Pure Color Envy Luxe Eyeshadow Quad, with a flat eyeshadow brush, apply the medium shade from lid to crease and to lower lashline. Apply the light shade above your crease and blend together using a clean fluffy eyeshadow brush. Using a fine brush, apply eyeliner to your lid using the darker shade. Define your brows by applying the MicroPrecise Eyebrow Pencil using hairlike strokes.

Step 5. Mascara: Apply Double Wear Zero Smudge Lengthening Mascara from root to tip of eyelash in a zigzag motion.

For a classic look, apply straight from the bullet.

Step 6. Using Eye Brows Styler, fill in any gaps and add individual brush strokes to mimic the natural hair.

Step 7. For the perfect lip, apply lipstick first and refine the edge of the lip with lip pencil starting at the cupid’s bow and working outwards. A red lip will add a festive pop of colour or, if you prefer something a little more subtle, a nude matte lip is the perfect alternative.

Step 3. Using Teint Idole All Over concealer, take a shade lighter than your foundation and apply a small amount to any areas of darkness, and up the cheek bone. Using a small brush blend the concealer under the eye, using the excess concealer on the brush run this over the eye lid to act as an eye shadow primer.

Step 4. Using Blush Subtil take a big fluffy brush and apply the blush to the apple of the cheeks then bringing the blush up to the cheekbones to create a fresh polished look.
