What you need

Steps

  1. Start with clean, moisturised skin so makeup sits smoothly. Let your moisturiser or sunscreen absorb for a minute before you begin.

  2. Dot concealer under your eyes and over any spots or redness. Blend with your ring finger or a damp sponge until the edges disappear.

  3. Lightly dust setting powder over the concealer to stop it creasing. Press the powder in rather than sweeping it across your face.

  4. Coat your top and bottom lashes with mascara. Wiggle the wand at the roots and pull upward for more length.

  5. Swipe the lip liner end of your dual stick along your lip line. Then fill in the whole lip with the colour end.

  6. Add a wash of colour to your eyelids with an eyeshadow stick if you want. Blend the edges with your fingertip.

  7. Check your look in daylight and tidy any smudges. You are done in about five minutes.

Tips and common mistakes

Pick a lip liner shade close to your natural lip colour for an everyday look.

Warm the dual stick on the back of your hand first so it glides on smoothly.

Use a light hand with powder on brown skin to avoid an ashy finish.

Questions

Do I need all the products to get this look?

No. Concealer, mascara and a lip stick are enough for a basic version. Add powder and eyeshadow if you have them.

Will these shades work on deeper brown skin?

Choose a lip liner and concealer matched to your own undertone. Test shades on your jawline in daylight before buying.

How do I stop concealer creasing under my eyes?

Use a small amount and set it with a light layer of powder right away. Too much product causes creasing.
