Steps:
1. For the eyes, apply the Prep + Prime 24-Hour Extend Eye Base all over the eyelid and also on the lower lid.
2. Use the 224 Brush to apply Pigment in Tan all over the eyelid. Extend the colour outward from the eyes and onto the cheekbones to create a highlight.
3. Mix the Pigment in Tan with Prep + Prime Fix+ to create a more intense colour and layer on top of the eyelid using the 286 Brush, focusing on the inner corner of the eyelid.
4. Now, do the same with Pigment in Melon and apply to the inner corner of the eye for a pop of lightness. Curl the lashes and apply Extended Play Lash to the upper and lower lashes.
5. Mattify the centre of the face using Blot Powder in Medium, then move onto the lips. Even out the lip colour using Lip Pencil in Beet and Lip Conditioner.
6. Then apply Lipglass / VIVA GLAM Taraji P. Henson with a 242 Brush all over the lips.
7. Apply Fluidline Eye Pencil in Black Brilliance along the lower lash line and smoke out the colour with the 228 Brush to contour the eyes. Add Pigment in Melon on the lower lash line using the same brush.
8. Add mascara to the bottom lashes.
9. To intensify the look even more, continue to add the wet mixture of Tan and Melon Pigments to the eyes. Add Superslick Liquid Eye Liner in Pure Show to the inner corners of the eye.
10. Amplify the metallic shade on the lips by tapping Pigment in Gold on the centre of the lips. Finish with Lipglass Clear.
