Beauty in a jiffy

"Women require a complete makeover in the quickest possible time," says Tinette & Co.’s ace makeup artist Babette Piguerra. "If you master the steps presented here, you can achieve a dramatic look in 10 minutes flat."

Makeup application has never been this easy!

Step 1. Troubled spots are covered with Seinazur concealer in light beige.

Steps 2 and 3. Overall foundation (Cinema Secrets Foundation #21) is applied. MAC-C2 powder is then used to matte out skin.

Step 4. Highlights are placed under brows (Water+Earth+Fire #07) to ‘lift’ eyes and emphasize eyebrows.

Steps 5 and 6: The crease of eyelids are given a boost by adding warm tones using Brava #3 bronzer/blusher. The same tones are used under the eyes with a sponge tip brush. Crease area is further contoured with Bobbi Brown black powder.

Steps 7 and 8. Prescriptives eye coloring pencil in soft white is applied in the inner rim of the eyes for a brightening effect. Body Shop Colorings Brown pencil is smudged below white pencil application.

Step 9. Eyebrows are shaped and defined with VMV dual tone eyebrow powder brush. (Tip: Use the broad part of a damp, long-handled hard-tip bristle brush when defining the thick section of the eyebrows. Use the thin part of the brush when shaping the outer part of the brows. Check balance by lifting middle of forehead.)

Steps 10 and 11. Lashes are curled with Shu Uemura lash curler and thickened with Maybelline Volume Express. Finishing highlights are placed under eyes to add luminescence.

Step 12. Brava #3 is applied on cheeks and jawline.

VMV sunkissed and butterscotch lipsticks were applied on lips to achieve a great fresh day look. Voila!
