1. Apply your base eye makeup like your favorite concealer with powder to set as usual.
2. Use a bronzer for a finishing bronze glow like Bodyography Natural Face Bronzer.
3. Apply all over by rubbing a small dime size in your hands, then onto your face in an upward circular motion.
4. Be sure to blend around your hairline as it may concentrate in this area and smudge or cake.
5. Use your kabuki brush and dab a good bit of the e.l.f. Baked Blush onto the brush; tap excess off using your hand.
6. In the same way, you would apply the halo effect, apply the brush to the apples of your cheeks in a big circular motion; repeat on opposite cheek.
7. If you don’t get enough color, apply two to three more times on each cheek.
8. If you find you still need more color wet your kabuki brush before application.
9. Grab your NYX Born to Glow Liquid Illuminator in Sunbeam and squirt half a dime size onto your index finger.
10. Rub the illuminator onto just the apple of your cheek starting inward toward your nose and up toward your eye, then out toward your ear; only apply this in a one-inch section of your cheek.
11. Repeat on the opposite cheek.
