First applied concealer under eyes, next to nose, and on blemishes using Custard and Vanilla.  Then added the NARS smudgeproof eyeshadow base on eyelids.  Used my fingers to tap the Cannes multiple (metallic mauve) pigment along and under cheek bone and on apples of cheeks.  Using a powder brush, applied NARS pressed powder in Eden all over face, creating a softening effect of naturally rosy cheeks.  Put Lola Lola shadow (frosted brown) on eyelids and around eye.  Placed the beige pink matte colour of All About eye under eyebrow and blended towards crease as described.  Added a very light amount of Blondie (matte light taupe) above crease and at inner corner of eye.  Used Blondie to fill in eyebrows.  Put on lots of coats of the NARS Larger Than Life Volumizing mascara.  Lastly, substituted the described lipsticks and gloss for the Velvet Matte lip pencil in Sex Machine.
