Start with cleansed\/moisturised skin. Always use a moisturiser and primer designed for your skin type. I recommend Cr\u00e8me De La Mer Regeneration Intense for after cleansing and MAC Prep and Prime-Skin Base Visage (30ml) \u20ac30. This primer is built with special effect silicones, soothes the skin, blots away excess oils and evens out skin redness.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.marbellarocksmag.com\/brighton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34\/2014\/07\/C_NJN8Li5Feggxpsdsd5-zhKG42RdwvX_mxdN2Szec.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-848 \" src=\"http:\/\/www.marbellarocksmag.com\/brighton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34\/2014\/07\/C_NJN8Li5Feggxpsdsd5-zhKG42RdwvX_mxdN2Szec-300x300.jpeg\" alt=\"-C_NJN8Li5Feggxpsdsd5-zhKG42RdwvX_mxdN2Szec\" width=\"224\" height=\"224\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">2<\/span>. Secondly choose two foundations. Remember to use one that is the exact shade of your skin concentrating it in the center of where the most coverage is required, gently blend it in with a foundation brush, I recommend Chanel foundation brush 6 Pinceau Fond de Teint \u20ac45. Never rub the foundation in by hand the natural oils from our hands will contribute to ruining the desired effect.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">3<\/span>.\u00a0After your fou<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-846\" src=\"http:\/\/www.marbellarocksmag.com\/brighton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34\/2014\/07\/anIYQzgP2BA0xfJ8gVyD__BsDdcA0A74x984pGOJq1k-300x225.jpeg\" alt=\"anIYQzgP2BA0xfJ8gVyD__BsDdcA0A74x984pGOJq1k\" width=\"226\" height=\"170\" \/>ndation application introduce a concealer to cover blemishes and dark pigmentation around the eye area, always use a clean brush with application and remember do not apply concealer right up to your lower lashes as this will make your eyes appear smaller and the dark under eye circles even darker. I recommend using MAC Studio Finish Concealer with a SPF 35 \u20ac18.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.marbellarocksmag.com\/brighton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34\/2014\/07\/ebusApcqd-TNDUOxvyjqpWDdZ6gG8cyfLQQOQWH7oD0.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-850\" src=\"http:\/\/www.marbellarocksmag.com\/brighton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34\/2014\/07\/ebusApcqd-TNDUOxvyjqpWDdZ6gG8cyfLQQOQWH7oD0-300x300.jpeg\" alt=\"ebusApcqd-TNDUOxvyjqpWDdZ6gG8cyfLQQOQWH7oD0\" width=\"235\" height=\"235\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">4.<\/span>Contouring and highlighting; remember there is a difference. Highlighting enhances your high points whereas contouring is to darken and create bone structure. For the best result apply highlighter on your chin, under your eyes and forehead. I recommend MAC Prep and Prime highlighter \u20ac25. Cheeks, above eyelids and jawline are to be contoured with a foundation or concealer a shade darker than your foundation base. I recommend studio fix fluid SPF 15 \u20ac27.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-845\" src=\"http:\/\/www.marbellarocksmag.com\/brighton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34\/2014\/07\/TnvJmlMwKQdMQadV-hyj7Mnmuipe5SFNYSSLw0a9ns01-300x300.jpeg\" alt=\"TnvJmlMwKQdMQadV-hyj7Mnmuipe5SFNYSSLw0a9ns0\" width=\"217\" height=\"217\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rocksmag.com\/brighton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34\/2014\/07\/TnvJmlMwKQdMQadV-hyj7Mnmuipe5SFNYSSLw0a9ns01-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/rocksmag.com\/brighton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34\/2014\/07\/TnvJmlMwKQdMQadV-hyj7Mnmuipe5SFNYSSLw0a9ns01-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/rocksmag.com\/brighton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34\/2014\/07\/TnvJmlMwKQdMQadV-hyj7Mnmuipe5SFNYSSLw0a9ns01-420x420.jpeg 420w, https:\/\/rocksmag.com\/brighton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34\/2014\/07\/TnvJmlMwKQdMQadV-hyj7Mnmuipe5SFNYSSLw0a9ns01.jpeg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 217px) 100vw, 217px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">5<\/span>.\u00a0Lastly once you have mapped out where your contouring and highlighting needs to be, I would use a flat top\u00a0dense brush to blend in two shades of powder and consider yourself contoured.
