BROWS
‘Using Make Up Store Tri
Brow Premium, I start below my
brow to create a frame. I slowly
work my way to the top of the brow
where I close the frame. Having
that guide helps keep both brows
even and not too thick or thin’

‘I start with fresh, clean skin.
I’ve been on a set range of DMK
skincare for a year now and I have
never had so many compliments on
my skin before. Because my skin
is in good shape I don’t feel I need
to prime before applying makeup.’2
FOUNDATION, CONCEALER
& POWDER
‘First I apply Cover FX Custom
Cover Drops with a foundation
brush. Next, I apply a concealer
underneath my eyes to highlight,
and then whatever’s left on the
brush, I use on my forehead. I set
my skin lightly with a loose powder.’

LASHES & LIDS
‘I apply mascara straight up
and almost towards my nose to
cover root to tip. Brushing the wand
towards your ear means you lose
length so keep it vertical. I add a
champagne-toned eyeshadow.’

CONTOUR, BLUSH & HIGHLIGHT
‘I apply bronzer right under-
neath my cheekbones. I’ll also dust
along the perimeter of my forehead.
I apply blush on the apples of my
cheeks and back towards my ears.
I place a C-shape of highlight from
beneath my brow to just before the
apple of my cheek, plus the bridge
of my nose and my Cupid’s bow.’

MAC Lipstick in Pure Zen; it’s my
