Thanksgiving Make-up Tutorial

For this look, start out with your normal foundation, concealer and powder routine. I use NYC's Smooth Skin Liquid Make-Up in Barely Beige, ELF's double sided Under Eye Concealer and Highlighter, and Mayballine's loose powder in Light.

Next contour under your cheek bones, along your hair line and on your temples with an angled blush brush. This will give your face a more defined look. I used NYC's Smooth Skin Bronzer in Sunny. 

Now for blush! Using the same brush you did for your bronzer, apply a Mauve color on your cheeks to give your skin a flushed look. 

Using the ELF Under Eye Concealer and Highlighter, apply the highlighter on the top of your cheekbones and gently work it it. This will make your skin glow. 

If you normally fill in your brows, do this now. I use ELF's Brow Kit in Medium. First apply the wax with the angled end of the brush to add color and set the hairs where you want them. Now using the fluffy end of the brush, set the wax with the powder. 

Eye shadow primer is a great tool to use when you will be wearing your make-up for long periods of time and you don't have to spend a fortune on a high end brand! I use ELF's Eyelid Primer in Sheer. Dot it on the lids then spread it evenly with your finger tip. 

Take a spongey eye shadow brush and apply a white shadow to the inner corner/tear duct area and under the brow. This won't be very noticeable, but it will make a huge difference in the end. 

Using a normal eye shadow brush, apply a shimmery champagne color all over the lid. 

Use the same eye shadow brush and pat a medium brown color on the outer half of your eye to give it some depth. 

Using a blending brush, take a matte chocolate brown and apply it in a V shape on the out half of your eye. 

Now its time for eyeliner. My favorite liquid liner is Maybelline's Waterproof Ultra Liner in black. With your favorite liquid liner, make a simple winged line. 

Once your black liner has dried, take a gold sparkle liner and apply it on top. I used ELF's Liquid Liner in Copper. 

Curl your lashes and apply your favorite mascara. For mascara, I used ELF's Lengthening and Defining in Black. 

You are done with your eyes! Now for lips. Apply a red lip stain evenly to your lips. I used ELF's Lip Stain in Nude Nectar. 

For a little shine and color, apply a sheer brown lip gloss over the top. I used Bath and Body Works Almond Cocoa. 

You are now done with your Thanksgiving Make-Up look!
