Before the makeup application Paula’s skin was cleansed, toned, and moisturised, then a primer was applied which acts as a base for foundation to sit on, which makes it last longer.

A liquid foundation was applied all over Paula’s face and blended out towards the jaw-line, keeping the eye area completely clean, as a liquid eye concealer was used all over the lid and underneath the eye to hide any broken veins and dark circles. A small amount of a full coverage blemish concealer was then used sparingly around the nose and chin.
Before applying any coloured shadow to the eye, a matte ivory colour was used all over the lid. The effect on Paula’s eyes was achieved by applying a shimmery stone-coloured shadow all over the lid and blending at the edges so the colour fades into the socket line.

A deep brown/ bark colour was then used on the outer corners of the eye and blended into the socket for a clean finish. To achieve a soft effect for the eyeliner, this brown colour was also smudged subtly along the upper and lower lid before a black pencil liner was applied.

Finally, to give more definition a very small of amount of black shadow was applied at the outer, deepest part of the socket line and blended slightly. A generous amount of mascara was then applied to the upper and lower lashes, followed by only three or four individual false lashes at the outer corner of each eye.

Once the eye makeup was finished, Paula’s base was completed by applying a cream highlighter below the eyebrow and on the cheekbone, and a soft cream blush to the apple of the cheek. The look was then set by applying a small amount of powder to the nose and forehead area, but avoiding the outer part of the cheek, to maintain a hydrated, dewy look.

To finish the makeup, a nude lipliner was applied all over the lips and finally a nude-coloured gloss was applied all over the lips.
