Instructions

  1. Small 113896 2f2016 04 11 031320 img 2867

    I like to start by contouring first; my favorite bronzers are found in the ELF Studio bronzer & blush duos. I use the Real Techniques domed bronzer brush for application.

    For highlighting, if I want glam, I use ELF's Studio Baked Highlighter; and the Real Techniques buffing brush. If I want a more natural gleam, I'll use Benefit's High Beam, which I put on with my fingers.

    The purple is where I use the bronzer for contouring, and the red is where I use highlighter for highlighting.
