3. Apply Artistry Essentials, Balancing Toner all over face and rub until it has dissolved.

4. Apply time-defiance cleansing treatment, then add Artistry Golden Balancing Foundation.

5. With a blush brush, apply Black Opal translucent face powder.

6. Use a small brush to groom eyebrows.

7. Start with the eyelids and apply shadow from the inner corners and work your way outward.

8. Use a black eyeliner to draw a defining line on the eyelids.

TIP:

When applying eye shadow, always leave a little loose foundation below the eyes to brush over any colour spills from the shadow.
