Step 1 I applied my foundation with a MAC 187 Duo Fibre Brush using the stippling technique (a tutorial of this can be found here). I used an e.l.f. blush brush to apply a cheek highlight. The color I used is in the above photo, it is the largest pot in the peach colored palette. This is actually an eye shadow but when applied to the cheek bones it really reflects light well and gives an amazing glow.

Step 2 I started my eyes by applying Wet'n'Wild's Walking On Eggshells browbone color onto my entire lid, concentrating most of the pigment on the browbone. I then used a Sephora Crease Brush to blend in a bronzy / copper color with gold shimmers from the red palette (if looking at the product photo is it the second color down in the first row on the left most side).

Step 3 Next, I dipped an angled liner brush into NYX's matte black eye shadow and ran this across my upper lashline. I pulled it out with a light flick to give it a nice wing. I like using angled brushes for thicker liner because it makes it easier to create straight lines and good angles.

Step 4 After the upper lashline it's time to get into the waterline's. Waterlines are the area's in your eye where it isn't safe to put any powder or liquid, it is best to use a pencil. This technique is called tightlining (I will post an individual tutorial for this in the future). You are going to use a pencil liner and place it on your inner lashlines. For this specific look it will be necessary for you to tightline the top and bottom waterlines. *Don't fotget to apply in your upper and lower inner corners as well!

Step 5 For the lashes, apply however many coats of mascara you desire. I used Maybelline Volum' Express The Falsies in Blackest Black. I gave it about three or four coats. *Tip: If you use this mascara then you know how easily it can clump, to cheat this, I apply the mascara using the given brush just to get the product onto my lashes then I go through with a vibrating brush than really evens everything out nicely. And leaves me with full, soft, dark lashes without clumps.

Step 6 Like the icing on the cake, the lipstick is the finishing touch to any look. I used an Arbonne lipstick, unfortunately the name is unknown but I really love the color it gives me. I popped on some of Clinique's Bampoo Pink Gloss over this and I was ready for the day!
