Apply powder in the correct shade for your skin tone to the rest of the face using a powder puff or powder brush.
If skin feels dry, dust powder only around the nose and forehead.
Step 4
Blush
Smile and apply a natural shade of blush on the apples of cheeks. Blend up toward the hairline, then downward to soften the color.
For long-lasting results, layer a pop of brighter blush on top.
For an extra glow, dust a shimmer powder on the cheekbones with a face blender brush, or use a creamy formula applied with your fingers.
Tap or blow off excess powder blush from your blush brush before applying. It is easier to build color in a few light layers than to remove excess color and start
over.
Pot rouge or cream blush is a good option for dry skin.
To add a warm tint to skin, use a bronzer on areas where the sun normally hits the face—cheeks, forehead, nose, and chin.
Step 5
Lipstick
Start with clean, smooth lips.
Neutral lipstick shades and sheer formulas can be applied directly from the tube. Use a lip brush to apply darker or brighter colors, which require precise
application.
Use the natural color of your lips as a guide when choosing a lipstick shade. The most flattering shade will either match or be slightly darker than your lips.
If you have thin lips, choose light to medium lip color shades, as dark shades have a minimizing effect.
