SHINY NUDES

In the right tones, nude shades can look gorgeous and make the skin glow, even if you have a dark complexion. Use shimmering tones in combination with subtle highlights to create shape and definition.

 

1 PRIMER

Apply liquid foundation. Use a
highlighting concealer on the nose,
under the eyes and eyebrows, on
the center of the top lip, and at the
highest point of the cheekbones.

2 CONTOUR

Apply a dark contouring powder
below the highest point of the
cheekbones, then apply a highlight
under it, along the jawline. Blend
using a brush.

3 EYES

Apply a taupe eyeshadow across
the whole eyelid, and then apply
a darker tone of shadow in the
crease. Put mascara on the upper
lashes only.

4 EYEBROWS

Fill eyebrows with brow powder
and smooth with brow gel. Draw a
soft line with brown eyeliner on the
upper lash line. Highlight above
the pupil with a gold eyeshadow.

5 LIPS

Outline the lips using a dark lip liner
that suits you. The ratio of lower to
upper lip should be about the same.
Dab on a little lip gloss.
