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.
5. Apply a pink hue over your lips. Balance your strong eye with a soft-colored lip crayon like the one used here.
Finally, take a selfie and then pin, Instagram, and tweet out a pic of your new sexy look!
