Step 1 Start with a clean moisturized canvas. Apply a foundation primer to the T-zone and blend. A primer is the key in achieving a smooth, flawless look that will last all day. BUY Smashbox Photo Finish Light, $44.
Step 2 Apply a matte-based foundation. For a more even finish, use a foundation brush. BUY Laura Mercier oil-free foundation (lightweight formula), $55, which contains vitamins A, C, and E and is ideal for all skin types.
Step 5 Using a large blush brush, apply a light blush to the apples of your cheeks. Keep it minimal to attract more attention to your lips. BUY M.A.C. blush in Mocha
Step 6 With a careful hand, apply a black liquid liner to the upper lid of the eye, starting from the inner to outer crease. BUY Quo Liquid Eyeliner, $12.00, for a long-lasting cat eye.
Step 7 Line the inner bottom rim of the eye with white eyeliner to reduce redness and open up the eyes. BUY Lise Watier waterproof eyeliner, $16.00, in white.
Step 9 Define your brows (filling in gaps) with a natural-looking brow shadow to achieve the full brow of the season. BUY Laura Mercier Brow Definer, $24, in the closest natural colour.
Step 10 Find the perfect red lipstick (general rule: blue/red for fair skin and orange/red for warm skin) and finish off your glamourous look. BUY Marcelle Rouge Vitality in Cream Red Pulse, $9.50.
To compliment your new makeover, set your hair abound in glamourous curls. Using a medium-sized curling iron, curl each strand and set with bobby pins to cool while you apply your makeup. Once your makeup is done, remove bobby pins, comb out your locks with a wide-pick comb, and voila—you’re an instant siren.
