Step 1
Skincare
Step 1Skincare
Moisturise skin to refresh and prep it for concealer and foundation. Allow moisturiser to absorb completely before applying makeup.
TIP: When skin is especially dry, try layering moisturisers.
Step 2
Corrector & Concealer
Step 2Corrector & Concealer
Start with Corrector to brighten and neutralise under eye discolouration, beginning at the inner corner of eyes where skin tends to be darkest. Layer on Creamy Concealer—in a shade that’s slightly lighter than your skin tone—and gently pat to blend. Use a Concealer Brush for the most precise application and hard-to-reach spots.
Step 3
Foundation
Step 3Foundation
Apply foundation beginning around the nose and mouth where there is often redness. Blend out to the rest of the face if needed. Foundation can be applied with fingers, a Foundation Brush or a Makeup Sponge.
Tip: You know you’re using the correct shade of foundation if it disappears into your skin.
Step 4
Powder & Bronzer
Step 4Powder & Bronzer
For a longer-lasting look, set concealer and foundation with sheer face powder in your skin tone correct shade; use the Eye Blender Brush under the eyes and the Sheer Power Brush on the rest of the face. Follow with bronzer, applied where the sun normally hits your face: forehead, cheeks, nose and chin. Finish with a touch on your neck and ears for the most natural effect.
Step 5
Cheeks
Step 5Cheeks
To add a natural glow, apply blush to the apples of the cheeks, blending up towards the hairline then downward to soften colour. Follow with bronzer, applied where the sun normally hits your face: forehead, cheeks, nose and chin. Finish with a touch on your neck and ears for the most natural effect.
Step 6
Lips
Step 6Lips
A nude lip instantly makes you looked polished. To find your best nude, look at the natural colouring of your lips and choose a shade that matches or is one or two shades brighter or darker. To give lips natural-looking definition, line lips with Lip Pencil afterwards. Finish with gloss for a high-shine look.
Step 7
Brows
Step 7Brows
To create the signature Bobbi Brown look, you’ll need three shadows: a light base shade, a medium lid shade and a dark liner shade. Apply the light shade from the lashline to browbone to neutralise any redness or discolouration in the eyelid. Sweep the medium shade on the lower lid, up to the crease. If the shade looks muddy on the skin, it’s too dark. If it looks ashy on the skin, it’s too light.
