Face

face powderStart by blending Photo Finish Lid Primer, $20 over the face using your fingertips. Control any excess oil by applying Anti-Shine, $27 over any shiny areas with fingertips or a sponge. Using Foundation Brush #13, $34 apply a skin-perfecting foundation like High Definition Healthy FX Foundation SPF 15, $38 at the center of the face, blending the color out and away from the nose.

Using the Face And Body Brush #19, $52, lightly sweep HALO Hydrating Perfecting Powder & Brush Set, $59 across the nose, forehead, and underneath the eye area for a radiant glow while setting makeup to last.

Eyes

Use the Concealer Brush #04, $26 to dab a small amount of Photo Op just beneath the center of the eyes, then blend it up and out. Starting with a sheer dose of a highly pigmented concealer, like High Definition Concealer, $18, apply and blend where needed. Finish by lightly dabbing Photo Op around the outer corners of the eyes. Dab Photo Finish Lid Primer, $20 on the eyelids and blend for flawless makeup application and to keep shadows in place all day.

Brows

Using Brow Tech, $24, apply just a dab of powder using the Angle Brow Brush #12, $20. Tap the brush before applying color to remove any excess powder, and then place it at the point of the brow where the hair is the sparsest. Lightly feather the color in, pulling the brush back and forth as you follow the natural shape of the brows. Next, lightly coat the brush with the wax, and “feather” it through to set brows in place for a polished look that lasts all day.
