- After applying the BB cream, choose a matte bronzer a shade darker than your skin tone. Sweep it along the underside of your cheekbone, hairline and outer jawline.
- Now, choose a foundation a shade lighter. Dab it under your eyes and along the brim of your nose and center of your forehead.
- Swirl a muted blush on the apples of your cheeks. From there, glide up toward your temples, blending the blush and bronzer.
- Edge along the top of the blush with a highlighter, just below the eye.

- Trace the shape of your lips just outside your natural lipline. Exaggerate the cupid's bow and the lower lip, extending the corners outward.
- Smile to make your lips taut, and then add more liner before blending with a cotton swab.
- Fill in with lip color, dabbing gloss in the center of your lower lip to soften the look.
