Equipments:

  • Bobbi brown repair foundation 
  • Illamasqua loose powder

  • Seventeen contour palette
  • Kelly Brook blush # Bardot
  • Kryolan lip palette
  • Buffing brushes
  • Contouring brush

  • A blush brush
Directions:

  1. Cleanse, tone and moisturize the model's face. 
  2. Apply illuminating primer as the base.
  3. Apply the Bobbi Brown repair foundation on the face and the reason I choose this foundation as after applied it to the face, it looks very natural and it also brighten up the skin.
  4. Apply concealer to the face to cover the blemishes and imperfections.
  5. After that, you can used a lighter shade concealer or brightener to highlight the centre/ forehead, bridge of the nose, cupid's bow, chin, cheekbones and the brow bone.
  6. I have used the Kryolan concealer palette # D14 which is a dark brown color to contour my model's face. I have applied the color around the forehead, under the cheeks, jaw lines and side of the nose and then blend the color out with a brush. 
  7. Apply loose powder to the face using a brush.
  8. After that in order to make the colour on the cheeks stand out more, I have added some powder bronzer to the cheeks to define the structure of the cheeks more. I have applied it close from the hairline first and then emphasis more by creating a triangle shape. Also, I have added a bit more brightener on the face. 
  9. Apply a natural color blush to create the fresh look.
  10. Finally, apply a natural lip color.

Photos taken in the studio:
 I think the photos are a bit too bright and therefore, I have changed the setting on the camera.
To improve next time, I can apply more translucent powder on the forehead, cheekbones and on the chin as it looks a bit too dewy on the face in here.
