[Cara] Okay so today we are going to be working on this

beautiful big brown-eyed blonde.

We're gonna start by using anti-aging primer,

and then just blend in with a brush,

the HD foundation, Makeup Forever.

This just evens out her entire skin tone,

and this is great.

This was for a photo shoot, so we really need to

start with that HD foundation because it

makes a huge difference.

And be sure to go down the neck with it,

so that everything blends out perfectly.

So now I'm working on her brows.

I really wanted to find that arch and just

give her a little bit more distinction,

and definition with her eyebrows.

So I'm using this angled brush,

and I'm just trying to kind of get in the areas

where it's sparse, and lift the brow a little bit,

right in the arch.

So now I'm gonna do the other side, and keep in mind

when you do the two sides of your brows,

they don't need to be the exact same.

The two sides of your face aren't the same,

so it's okay if the two sides of your brow aren't

the same, as long as they look similar.

I'm using this Chanel bronzing cream,

it's like a bronzer only it's a cream,

which I love creams, especially on dry skin,

it tends to look a lot more natural.

I'm just doing that around the edges of her face,

and giving her a coat of eyeshadow primer on the lids,

which is just gonna make her colors look more vibrant

and last longer.

Next I'm taking this really pretty gold color,

I'm putting it just right in the center of her lid,

blending it outward.

I'm gonna contour that with a darker chocolate color.

She has gorgeous eye shape and we just wanna really

bring that out with the contouring,

which goes around the crease, and I'm also gonna use

that same chocolate color to go underneath her eye,

right at the lash line.

The way I use the chocolate color on her lid is

just by blending it into the crease,

and then using a fluffier brush to kind of

blend it out so there's no harsh lines.

Now I'm gonna take a cream eyeliner and

go right in the tear line.

I find that cream eye liners last longer in the tear line

so I tend to prefer those when I'm doing anything

that's close to where your eyes are watering.

Next I'm going to put on a nice coat of mascara.

I'm using this YSL mascara,

which is a really thick, creamy mascara.

It's good for thickening of the lashes.

Now I'm gonna start in with the contouring.

Right now I'm using my Shadow Creme,

which is really really perfect for the nose,

because I know a lot of people have struggled with the nose.

If you have the right color and the right consistency,

it gets you so much closer to that perfect-looking shadow.

As you can see, it's very settled,

but it makes a big difference.

I'm also gonna use that right underneath the cheekbones,

just to give that extra little pop.

She has a gorgeous bone structure,

and I just kinda wanna bring that out a little bit more.

And blend that in with a big fluffy brush.

I'm gonna take the highlighter, I know it just looks

really yellow right now, but once we blend it out,

it just looks really pretty and candle-lit.

And I'm gonna take that underneath her eye on the side

of her nose, this helps with any broken capillaries

on the side of your nose, and it also helps with

dark circles, and bringing out your cheek bone.

I also love doing it when I'm doing any kind of liner

underneath the eye because it tends to set it off

and make it look really bright,

rather than looking a little drab.

When you have the liner underneath,

sometimes it just looks like dark circles

or any of that.

Now I'm gonna do the same thing on the other side,

and it's fun to watch I think, just because it really

just smooths everything out and brightens everything up.

I like to use my finger to do the nose highlighting,

just because If feel like I can get a thinner highlight.

Then I blend with a beauty blender.

Now I'm gonna line her lips with this Sebastian lip liner.

It helps just by contouring the lips and making them pop.

And then going over it with the Lip Tar in Femme,

which is just kind of like a really hot pink.

It's even hotter than it looks like in this picture,

but it's one of my favorite colors because it's just

so bright and just wakes the whole face up.

And finally I'm gonna use this really pretty illuminator

just on the top of her cheeks to give her a little

extra added glow, and then set everything with

the all-nighter setting spray.

Doesn't she look so beautiful?
