Step-by-Step:

1. Create a flawless canvas: Start out with a great canvas of foundation and concealer in your exact skin tone shade.

2. Shimmer up your lids: Apply a little shimmery neutral eye shadow, like CoverGirl Smoky Shadow Blast all over the lid.

3. Add some sparkle to your lash line: Line eyes with a liquid sparkly eyeliner.

4. Extend the gleam to your eyelids: Using your fingers, apply a bit of loose glitter pigment to your eyelid up to the crease.

5. Get cheeky: Apply a simple cream blush in an unobtrusive color so that it doesn't detract from your eyes and lips.

6. Stain your lips: Apply a berry-tinted lip stain such as CoverGirl Outlast Lipstain all over lips for long lasting coverage.

7. Add glimmer and shine:Slick on a swipe of pink gloss with shimmer on top to hydrate your lips.

TIPS: Invest in two separate duos of foundation and concealer, one for winter and one for summer as your skin tone differs by a couple of shades. Always top lip stain with something hydrating to keep lips from drying out, either a balm or a gloss.
