Nic shows you how to create a soft eye and pretty lip in her tutorial to help you look fresh and beautiful (in photos and face-to-face) for your prom or formal.

Flawless Base

• Moisturise skin and apply foundation with a damp miracle complexion sponge (adding water will help blend and reduce the amount of product absorbed by the sponge). Smooth over the skin with the flat edge or use a dabbing motion for areas that need full coverage. Wearing your hair up? Sweep foundation over your ears.
• Choose a foundation that photographs well. Avoid foundations with SPF (titanium dioxide and zinc oxide) as they may cause flash-back.
• Flip the miracle complexion sponge and use the tip to push concealer in, around the nostrils, under eyes or any areas that need extra coverage.

Enhanced Eyes

• Take a warm brown cream shadow over your lid with a shading brush for a long lasting look.
• Apply a soft light shimmer in the inner corner of the eye with the same shading brush.
• Run a brown pencil over the the lash line with a slight lift in the outer corner (don’t worry about it being perfect!). Soften the line with your shading brush and run pencil along the top water line.
• Brush up lashes with a volumizing mascara. OPTIONAL: Apply to bottom lashes too.
• Brush brows up with your lash-brow groomer then run a brow powder thru hairs with your brow brush. Set and define hairs with a brow gel.

Perfect Finish

• Grab your miracle complexion sponge and press a setting powder over the skin to set makeup and eliminate shine. DON’T powder over dry skin.
• Take a blush brush and sweep a warm bronzer over the high points of your face for a fresh, healthy glow. Note: Bronzer is warmer than a flat contour shade.
• Apply a highlighter on the top of cheekbones, brow bone and cupids bow with your setting brush.
• Frame lips with a lip pencil that’s lighter than your lipstick to avoid altering the hue.
• Apply an eye catching lipstick and buff out the edge with your accent brush. Finish with one last pop of lipstick over the center of lips.
