Face
Apply Silk Naturelle Daily Foundation in a shade closest to your skin tone on your forehead, cheeks, nose and chin and blend evenly into your skin for a natural, luminous finish. Sweep Pure Rouge Blusher in Honey Bunch across the apples of your cheeks. The light weight formula will blend gently into your skin to enhance the softness of your features.
Eyes
With the Eye Artist eyeliner draw a fine line from the inner corner to the outer corner of your eyes following their natural contour. To finish your look, draw a dot in the inner corners of your eyes, where the line starts.
Lips
Add definition to your lips by lining them with Glide On Lipcolor in Berry Passion. Outline your entire lip line with this smudge-proof color. Coat your lips with Enrich Matte Lipcolor in 420. Matte, dark lips work wonderfully for sultry, Indian complexion. Enhance color by applying a second layer.
Face
Choose Silk Naturelle Daily Foundation in a shade closest to your skin tone. Blend this weightless foundation into your skin for a natural, luminous finish. Lightly dust Pure Rouge Blusher in Ginger Surprise to add a warm glow to your complexion.
Eyes
To get eyes that are super bold and striking, sweep Eye Artist eyeliner across your upper eye lid keeping close to the lashes. On the lower lid, start halfway along the eye and draw a thick stroke joining the upper line to create ultra-sensual, arresting eyes.
Lips
Define your lips with Glide On Lipcolor in Honey Crush. The creamy, sumptuous color keeps your lipstick from feathering out of bounds. Fill your lips with Enrich Matte Lipcolor in 126 for a soft and natural finish.
Face
Using your fingertips, gently blend in Silk Naturelle Daily Foundation that matches your skin tone on your face and neckline. Use the Ginger Surprise Pure Rouge Blusher in the hollow of your cheekbones for a soft, natural contour. Next, sweep the Rose Crush Pure Rouge Blusher on the apples of your cheeks for a natural highlight.
Eyes
Draw a thin line with the Eye Artist eyeliner following the shape of the upper eye lid. This will create a dynamic look that is smudge-proof and comfortable for all-day wear.
Lips
Give your lips a natural, muted look by applying Glide On Lipcolor in Rose Shimmer. The soft, pink shade lends an easy elegance to your look. Next fill in your entire lip line with Enrich Matte Lipcolor in 661.
Face
Create a base by using Silk Naturelle Daily Foundation, blending it evenly across your face and into your neckline. Pick one of the four shades closest to your skin tone. Dab some Just Kissed Cheek and Lip Tint on your cheeks. With short, quick strokes blend it into your skin with your fingertips. The silky gel works into your skin and self-adjusts to your complexion into the shade you blush naturally.
Eyes
Squeeze adequate amount of Just Kissed Cheek and Lip Tint and sweep across your upper eyelid using a brush or your fingers. Blend it gently and evenly upwards and outwards. Using the Eye Artist eye liner draw a line across the upper eyelid keeping close to the lashes.
Lips
Apply the Just Kissed Cheek and Lip Tint directly on to your lips. The silky gel texture will give you a natural tint for a berry-kissed look.
Face
Choose Silk Naturelle Daily Foundation in a shade closest to your skin tone. Blend this weightless foundation into your skin for a natural and luminous finish. Lightly dust Pure Rouge Blusher in Rose Crush or Ginger Surprise or blend both together to add a warm glow to your complexion.
Eyes
Sweep the Eye Artist eyeliner across your upper eyelid in a thick, bold stroke. On the lower eye lid start half way along the eye and draw a line parallel to the upper one. The sharp, black outline will give you ultra-sensual, arresting eyes.
Lips
Define your lips with Glide On Lipcolor in Honey Crush. The creamy, sumptuous color keeps your lipstick from feathering out of bounds. Fill your lips with Enrich Matte Lipcolor in 263 for a soft and natural finish.
