let's recreate this look
start by filling in your eyebrows, you want to elongate it so fill in the front and back pretty dark
and then gel those babies downnnnnn
concealer only on the underside. blend the concealer down to use as a base for the eyeshadow
light pink eyeshadow all over the eyelid
dark pink eyeshadow only on the outer third of the eye
then use a warm brown shadow and blend the darker pink out into a catseye
white eyeshadow on the brow bone and in the centre of the eyelid
add shimmer over the white shadow
using a black liquid liner, draw a pretty thick line from the inner corner and create a small wing at the outer corner
tightline and water line with a black eye pencil
use a matte foundation all over the face
cream contour placement
(remember this is usually a bit greyish compared to a cream bronzer)
the aim is to create shadows for a shaper facial appearance like Kareena's Kappor
cream bronzer placement
(i know, it looks a bit cuckoo but TRUST - have i ever let you down babe?)
concealer placement
and then set the ENTIRE face with pressed powder to maintain a matte look
we're layering our powdered blush. use a deeper shade closer to the ear and blend that up and down the perimeter of the jawbone as well (kind of like bronzer)
diffuse the deeper blush with a lighter pinkier blush. do not blend past the white dotted line
brown lipliner + pink gloss
add concealer in the middle to create an icy pink colour (tip blend with your fingers instead of smushing your lips together)
et voilà
