Perfect make-up, step-by-step

Our brand ambassadress Kim Zühlke presents a subtle day make-up.

COMPLEXION

The basis of every make-up is an even, radiant complexion. For an extra moisture kick, apply DEEP MOIST DEPOT under the customary Day Care. Use fingertips or make-up sponge, then dab on the right make-up for skin type (for instance, THERMAL MOIST FOUNDATION or PERFECT LIFT FOUNDATION) and gently spread it on, working outwards from the center – this way, it virtually melts with the skin. To achieve light coverage, apply the foundation using stroking motions. To assure stronger coverage, minor irregularities can be whisked away by applying the same Foundation using gently dabbing motions.
Extra tip: If you also use the Foundation as a primer on eyes and lips, eyeshadow and lipstick then have better staying power. In the next step, conceal minor impurities with the CREAMY COVER PENCIL. Light circles under eyes vanish immediately under the LIGHT TOUCH HIGHLIGHTER. And that completes the foundation for your make-up! To conjure up a light suntan on the face – as if after a weekend drive in a convertible – apply SUN POWDER PEARLS with the powder brush, starting at the cheeks and working over the entire face with light circular motions.

EYES | Back to top

First apply EYESHADOW BASE to give eyeshadows even better staying power. Then apply a light shade of eyeshadow (such as EYESHADOW # 20 Pearly Ivory) over the entire lid, all the way up to the eyebrows. Afterwards make up the upper lid with a darker eyeshadow (for instance EYESHADOW # 90 Shiny Hazel) to give eyes extra depth. Above the lid crease gently blend the eyeshadow outwards to make transitions look especially subtle and natural.
Extra tip: Always apply light eyeshadow from the inner corner to the outer corner of the eye. Darker tones, on the other hand, from the outer to the inner corner – this lets you perfectly accentuate the shape of the eye. To give eyes even stronger emphasis, draw a thin line with LONG LASTING EYE DEFINER # 60 Black directly on the upper lash line – again from the inner to the outer corner. If you like, the line can also be traced a bit wider. Afterwards apply THERMAL MASCARA VOLUME WATERPROOF in black.
Extra tip: Place the brush directly on the lash base and, using slight zigzag motions, brush all the way to the tips. Depending on desired color coverage, volume and thickness, repeat this step several times. Eyebrows are the flattering features that frame the face. To offset minor irregularities, first brush eyebrows downwards. Next trace tiny lines along the upper rim of the eyebrows with EYEBROW PENCIL # 30 Blonde Beige to achieve the desired volume. Then brush the brows upwards again. For especially subtle accentuation of eyebrows, EYEBROW POWDER with matching brush is ideal.

LIPS | Back to top

Well-groomed lips are the crowning touch of the make-up. For this, first outline the outer lip contours with LIP LINER # 05 Natural. Here you can easily correct any lip shape irregularities. Then apply the lipstick LIP DELIGHT # 130 Natural Rosé with a little brush, working from the center of the lips outwards.

For the concluding finish, then pat on BRILLIANT VOLUME GLOSS # 20 Frozen Roses from the center of the lips outwards. This leaves lips gleaming even more seductively.
