Step-by-Step: How to Get Mimi's Look
Skin: Prep face with Hydrating Face Cream and Hydrating Eye Cream.
Face: Using a concealer brush, apply corrector over undereye circles, starting at the inner corner of the eye. Gently press the corrector into skin with your fingers. Using the same method, apply a creamy concealer that's one shade lighter than your skin tone.
Apply tinted moisturizer SPF 15 with a makeup sponge for a sheer, even glow. Use a touchup stick anywhere skin still needs to be evened out (around the nose and mouth and anywhere else where there's redness) and gently pat it into blend. Using a bronzer brush, sweep bronzing powder over cheeks, nose and forehead for a healthy, vibrant glow. Don't forget to dust a bit on your neck and chest for even color. Set with powder.
Cheeks: Smile and dust Sand Pink Blush on the apples of cheeks with the blush brush for a pretty pop of color. Blend up toward the hairline, then downward to soften color.
Lips: Apply Italian Rose Creamy Lip Color straight from the tube or with a lip brush. For a little more definition, line lips with Brown Lip Liner and soften the edges a lip brush.
Eyes: Apply Ivory Eye Shadow from lashes to brow. Next, blend Slate Eye Shadow from lash line to crease with an eyeshadow brush. Apply a small amount at a time to create sheer, soft layers of color.
Use an ultra-fine eyeliner brush to draw a thin line of Black Ink Long-Wear Gel Liner along the top lashes, extending up and out. Use the same brush and line lower lashes with the remaining gel liner for a softer line.
On the upper lash line only, draw a line of Espresso Eye Shadow over the gel liner using an ultra-fine eyeliner brush for extra intensity. Layering textures, powder atop gel, also helps the color last. Use a clean finger or a Q-tip to soften and smudge a little.
Finish with three to four coats of Extreme Party Mascara.
