The polished everyday, with your skin showing.

What you need

• Lip + Cheek in your favorite red or rose.
• Contour for the cheekbones, jaw and brows.
• A light Highlight and your base Highlight.
• Optional: a cream eyeshadow in a soft brown.

Step by step

1. Color. Lip + Cheek on the cheeks, blended up toward the temples.
2. Shape. Contour under the cheekbones, softly along the jaw, and through the brows to fill and define.
3. Lift. Light Highlight on the high points: cheekbones, brow bone, the center of the forehead and the chin.
4. Even. A thin layer of base only where you want evening out, blended into the rest.
5. Eyes. A soft brown cream shadow on the lid, smudged at the lash line.

Cameras flatten a face, so go one step further on shape and color than you would in person, and check yourself by a window before you go.
