1. Create an even canvas. Using a stippling brush (which has synthetic bristles, so you don’t over-apply the formula, and natural bristles to help blend), apply your favorite foundation in circular motions, buffing it into your skin flawlessly.

2. Swirl blush onto your cheeks. With a blush brush, sweep a coral-colored blush that’s universally flattering on the apples of your cheeks up toward your temples.

3. Line your upper lashline with black eyeliner and then smudge it for a smoky effect. Choose a black liner like the one used here: Revlon ColorStay Eyeliner Pencil in “Black,” which comes equipped with a smudger on the opposite end.

Once you’ve lined your upper lashline, diffuse the line with the sponge tip up toward the crease of your eye, creating a subtle smoky effect.

4. Run a jade-colored liner along your lower lashline. This color is still in the darker color family, but gives your eye a fun pop of color that’s perfect for a night out.
