Tip #2 Apply and Set Your Base: Once your skin is cleaned and moisturized you’ll want to apply a liquid based product to help even your skin tone. For a dewy look opt for either a liquid foundation or a lightweight BB cream. Using concealer is optional, but it’s a great way to add a natural highlight to certain areas of the face.

Tip #3 Add Color

Use a subtle blush shade that compliments your skin tone to add definition and shape to your face. For darker skin tones stick with plums, deep brick shades and rosy pinks. If your skin is of a lighter shade opt for bright corals, oranges and pinks. If you prefer a more natural structured look add a dark brown shade along the hallows of your cheeks for a subtle contour.

Tip #4 Highlight
Gently dust a golden shimmery blush to your cheekbones, inner tear ducts and under your brow bone for a subtle highlight and glow.
