Step 3: Color Correct! I used the orange corrector from L.A. Girl HD Pro Concealer. I applied it to the dark spots on my face and under my eyes, and blended it out with a sponge.
Step 5: Concealer. Apply a concealer that's 1-2 shades lighter than your normal shade under eye in a triangle shape from inner corner to top of your cheek bones if you have a wider face like me. If you have a narrower face, apply in a round shape right under your eye. Also apply along the bridge of your nose, and on your chin.Then blend it out with a sponge, and "bake" with a translucent powder. I used Mary Kay concealer in the shade Beige 2 and the Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder.


Step 7: Eyes! Apply your eye makeup, while your concealer is still "baking".
a. Using a fluffy eye brush, apply a skin tone color in your crease as the transition color.
b. Apply a dark brown color to the inner and outer corners of your eyes.
c. Using a flat brush, apply a taupe color to your lids
d. Apply a dark blue/navy color to your lids
e. Using a pointed brush, apply light shimmery cream color to the inner corner
f. Apply that same color to the brow bone
g. Using a tampered brush, apply the dark blue and dark brown to your waterline
For this look, I used the Too Faced Semi-Sweet Chocolate Bar palette. I used the colors Truffled (a), Hot Fudge(b&g)), Mousse(c), Blueberry Swirl(d&g), and Butter Pecan(e&f).
Step 8: Blush! First dust off the excess powder from your "baking", then apply blush in a sweeping motion from the apples of your cheeks to your temples using a fluffy brush. I used the e.l.f Powder Blush Palette in dark, using the color in the 4th quadrant.
Step 9: Highlight & Contour! Highlighting and contouring differs depending on your face shape, so I can't go into detail about the different techniques for every face shape. I have a heart shaped face, so this what I did. I applied my contour shade into the hallows of my cheeks, along my jawline, to my temples, and along my hairline using a flat foundation brush. I also applied contour outside both sides of the bridge of my noise. I used the color 'Hot Fudge' from the Too Faced Semi-Sweet Chocolate Bar palette to contour.
I applied my highlighter right above the apples of my cheeks and along the bridge of my nose, and to the tip of my nose using a powder brush. I used the Artist Couture Diamond Glow Powder in the shade Illuminati, which is a true gold color.
Step 11: Set your face! Keep your makeup in place, by using a makeup setting spray. I used e.l.f. Makeup Mist & Set.
Step 12: Lips! Apply a red lipstick or gloss. I used the Maybelline Viva Matte Liquid in the shade Red Punch.
Step 13: Selfie! Share on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, kerinskorner.com, etc.
Bon Voyage!
