Eyes:
- For the shadow, a quad like Estee Lauder's Gold Opulence ($35) has all the colors you need. Start by applying cream shimmer shadow from lash line to brow bone.
- Then apply golden taupe shadow from lash line to crease. Lightly dust a cranberry shadow from the center of your lid to the outer edges.
- Then, using a damp brush, use a dark charcoal shadow as a liner to create the cat's eye line on your upper lid.
Lips and cheeks:
- Start by lining your entire mouth with a deep red lip liner, like Rimmel Exaggerate Full Colour Lip Liner in Red Diva ($5).
- Follow with a thicker, pigmented gloss in a slightly more orange red, like L'Oreal Infallible Lip Gloss in Fiery ($10). Put more in the center of your bottom lip for extra pout.
- For glowing cheeks, start off by applying a cream luminizer, like Luminous Liquid All Over Face Glow in Copper ($12), to the apples and your upper cheekbones. Then, go from your apples to your temples with a sheer brick red blush, like Nars Cream Blush in Turkish Red ($25).
