Eyebrows should be thick, lift slightly at the arch and taper towards the end.

Prime the eyelids with primer, foundation and translucent powder.

Apply a matte, sable eyeshadow to the eyelid from the base of lashes up into the socket.

Apply the same colour underneath as an eyeliner to make your eyes look larger.

Use a gel eyeliner along the top lashes, taking the line up and out, and increase the pressure as you move to the outer edge of the eye to get a thicker line. Blend the edge of the line with a blending brush to thicken further.

Use a thickening mascara on the top lashes, wiggling the wand from side to side to coat each lash. Use the tip of the wand to apply mascara to the lower lashes.

Apply under eye concealer and blend down and out.

Create a matte complexion with translucent powder.

Contour the cheekbones with a matt contouring powder, and apply it with an angled brush, starting at the highest point of the dip in the cheek. Start at your hairline and work forward. Finish the cheeks with a natural powder blush, brushing downwards onto the cheekbones

Line the lips using a lip brush and a red / tangerine lipstick.

    Rhi_Rhi, loreal has one with their HIP line. It is a cream liner that you can get at walmart or any drug store. Then there is this website called Coastal scents (coastalscents.com) that makes a gel liner also in a pot. I have both and even though one is a gel and the other a cream the consistancy to me is the same. The gel liner from coastal scents is a tad bit shiny but you can't tell the difference after it dries.
