Steps (10 steps, 15 minutes)

  1. 1

    Apply cream concealer under the eyes, around the nose, and on the chin.

  2. 2

    Apply moisture tint foundation all over the face, using the ngers.

  3. 3

    Apply powder highlight on the brow bones, cheekbones, and nose.

  4. 4

    Apply taupe eye shadow to the eyebrows to reshape them.

  5. 5

    Apply emerald green shimmer eye shadow on the lid up to just above the crease. This creates a background colour to the glitter, particularly for hooded eyes.

  6. 6

    With a cotton bud, apply frosty white eye shadow at the corner of the eyes and lightly under the bottom lash lines.

  7. 7

    Brush on dusty rose blusher, blending it into the apples of the cheeks.

  8. 8

    Apply fleshy pink matte lip pencil just above the natural lip line to create fuller lips.

  9. 9

    For each eye, place a tissue under the eyelash, close the eye, and gently press jade green cosmetic glitter onto the eyelid with a brush. Cosmetic glitter glue can be used if necessary to secure the glitter.

    Glitter Warning
    When using cosmetic glitter, less is more. It is easy to make the glitter look messy by applying too much.

    Use a piece of sticky tape to remove any glitter that has fallen onto the cheeks or elsewhere on the face. Apply several coats of black mascara.
