For this look, keep the rest of the face soft and neutral, she says.
Then draw a dash of colorful liner at the very base of the lash line.
I used the deep brown tone fromChanel Les 4 Ombres in Clair Obscurwith a damp stiff angle brush.
I first used an eye shadow that has a rosy hue across the lid up through the crease.
She also loves the gloss on the tops of cheekbones.
A full, fluffy brow is modern and cool, especially when paired with natural makeup.

I love using one or two shades across all the features.
She recommends cream blushes like the theTower28 Beach hey tints, as well asSisley Le Phyto Blush.
Ill use this on the cheeks and Ill dab it onto my lips when I have balm on already.

Once Ive perfected the shape, I then go over the line with my green liner, she says.
To lock the color in place, mist on asetting sprayand lightly dust on translucentsetting powder.
Synnott recommends choosing a fleshy nude color thats about two shades lighter than your skin tone.
Use a brownish liner thats only one shade lighter to create more dimension and depth around the mouth.
She recommends using a shadow smudge brush to blend the liner and lipstick so it looks seamless.
She likesRoen Kiss My Liquid Lip Balmin Charlie, andVictoria Beckham Posh Lipstickin Pose for darker skin.

Spickcard loves LiveTinteds Huestick in Free.
It brings a brightness to the face and allows that one shade to really pop.
Then I like to go in with two coats of any volumizing mascara.
I like wands that have bristles, as I think it adds to the fullness of the lashes.
