How I Used Them:
- First, I took the black shade in the ProArtist palette on a small, dense shadow brush and packed it right in the outer corner of my lids.
- With a larger, fluffier brush, I brought that black shade up into the crease and blended it up, not adding anymore product.
- Then, because I wanted it to be darker, I put the liquid liner on the outer corner where I had put the black shade, and blended that into the crease.
- On a flat, concealer brush, I applied concealer in the inner corner and brought it out about 2/3 of the way, blending where it met the black.
- With a small, flat brush, I put the silver shade over that concealer and again, blended it with the black.
- With that same liquid liner, I created a wing, and brought it all the way to my inner corner.
- Then I put the poreless primer in my t-zone.
- I applied foundation and blended it, making sure I had no harsh lines. Blending the foundation down onto the neck is key.
- I put my concealer under my eyes, along the bridge of my nose, in the center of my forehead, and on my chin. My concealer is always one shade lighter than my foundation so it brightens where it’s applied
- I set my under eyes with my Airspun powder, using a rounded face brush that fits under my eyes. I also set anywhere I put concealer with this brush, using more than needed, and later wiping it off to really set those areas into place.
- With a large, fluffy brush, I lightly set the rest of my face, then swept away any extra powder on my face. If you are setting a dewy or hydrating base, use stippling motions with your brush. I used circular motions because it’s faster and since I had a matte foundation on; it sets itself a bit, so swirling the brush lightly won’t disturb it.
- With a smaller, round face brush I applied contour just below my cheekbone, and on my jawline blending it out a lot with tight, circular motions, blending up more than down.DO NOT USE TOO MUCH. This will kill your whole face and be extremely frustrating. Only get the smallest amount and tap your brush off to get rid of the excess product. You always add more a lot easier than you can take away product.
- With another large face brush (this one slightly denser than my powder brush) I bronzed my jawline, under my cheekbones, and around my forehead to add warmth and depth to my face.
- With a round brush, I applied blush to apples of my cheeks and brought it back to just above my bronze, but still in the bronzer a bit to blend them together.
- Using the wet n’ wild highlighter, I highlighted my cheekbones, my nose, my upper lip, and chin with a small, tapered face brush. I then went over my whole face with a large fan brush to blend that existing highlighter, and add some to my forehead and cheeks.
- Now that my face was done, I set it with setting spray, waited until it was almost dry so I didn’t pull up the makeup, then tapped it in lightly with my beauty sponge. When your setting spray is wet, your makeup is vulnerable, so try to limit movements of your face.
- I applied lipstick, mascara, and false lashes, and was done!
