Hair: Blow-dry straight, you may have to use a straightener. Straighten hair completely, slightly flip ends in and out for a natural look. Tussle hair around and create a slight part on the right side of your head. Lightly spray with hairspray to hold it and help prevent fly aways.

Make-Up:

Foundation: pick any foundation that matches your skin tone, if skin is of different tones, use a shade that is slightly darker than normal. Blend into your neck. Powder, use a powder that is one-two shades darker than your foundation color, apply all over.  Remember to blend into your hairline and neck so you can avoid makeup lines.

Cheeks: if your skin is similar to Anna’s use a color similar to Classic Pink 110, if you choose a different color  you’ll want a shimmer, pink based blush.  Apply just to the apples of your cheeks.  And blend it in with a tissue or your hand.

Eyes: Mascara, when applying, start at the root of your lashes, instead of going straight up through them, gently wiggle applicator on lashes as you sweep/rotate upwards. Repeat 2-3 times, or until lashes look thick (not clumpy!). I often wipe off the tip of my mascara wand and any excess that may be on the bristles.

Eyeliner: Use an eye liner pencil, in black, and line the bottom line and the line under your lashes/on your lashes, as far below as possible-without getting in your eye. The next step depends on your confidence in putting on liquid eye liner, you must do both of these but do it in whatever order you chose (if less confidence, or a bit of a shaky hand, do it this way). ~Apply the liquid eyeliner ONLY to the top eye lid/line. Start at the part closest to your nose and go out, starting thin then gradually getting thicker. While your eye is closed it may look too thin, but it is always better to start thin and get thicker. I suggest doing at least two coats, three should get the correct darkness. ** If you need to take off makeup, but do not have makeup remover, put a tiny dob of lotion on a q-tip and lightly rub off any excess makeup**
Eyeshadow:

If possible, use a brush and not one of the sponge applicators, a brush will create a smoother and less chunky look in Champagne Q105 or Pink Exotique 124

Lips: **Before you put on lip gloss or lip stick, put on a layer of chap stick- this will help your lip color stay longer and look fresher, especially when wearing a dark or bright color as Anna is doing here, in  Pink Sequin 330 or Crush 415
