Step 1: Prep your skin

Start by prepping your skin with a good moisturizer. This will help your makeup go on smoothly and last longer. You can also use a primer to help blur any imperfections.

 

Step 2: Apply foundation

Use a foundation that is one or two shades lighter than your natural skin tone. This will give you a brighter, more radiant look. Apply the foundation with a foundation brush or sponge.

 

Step 3: Conceal blemishes

Use a concealer to cover any blemishes or dark circles. Apply the concealer with a concealer brush or sponge.

 

Step 4: Set your makeup

Once your foundation and concealer are in place, set your makeup with a translucent powder. This will help your makeup last longer and prevent it from creasing.

 

Step 5: Create a smoky eye

Use a dark brown eyeshadow to create a smoky eye. Start by applying the eyeshadow to the crease of your eye. Then, blend it out towards the outer corner of your eye. You can also add a bit of black eyeshadow to the outer corner of your eye for a more dramatic look.

 

Step 6: Add glitter

Step 7: Line your eyes

Line your eyes with a black eyeliner. You can use a liquid eyeliner or a pencil eyeliner. If you're using a liquid eyeliner, make sure to apply it in thin, smooth strokes.

 

Step 8: Curl your lashes
