Rich Girl Makeup Tutorial

Step-by-step

1. 1

   Perfect the skin

   Step 1 of 6

   This look lives or dies on the base. Apply a hydrating primer, then a medium-coverage foundation or skin tint that matches perfectly. Blend with a damp beauty sponge for a skin-like finish. Conceal under eyes and any spots with a creamy concealer.

   Tip: The foundation should look like your skin — not like a mask. Blend until you can't see edges.

2. 2

   Soft sculpt

   Step 2 of 6

   Use a cream contour or bronzer one to two shades darker than your skin under the cheekbones, along the jawline, and at the temples. Blend thoroughly — the contour should be invisible as a product and visible only as 'great bone structure.'

3. 3

   Polished brows

   Step 3 of 6

   Brows are the anchor of the rich girl look. Fill in sparse areas with a brow pencil using hair-like strokes, then set with a clear or tinted brow gel. The brows should look full, groomed, and natural — not drawn on.

4. 4

   Neutral eyes

   Step 4 of 6

   Apply a matte nude or taupe eyeshadow across the lid. Add a slightly deeper shade in the crease for dimension. A soft satin shimmer on the inner corner opens the eye. One coat of black mascara on curled lashes finishes the eyes.

5. 5

   Flush of color

   Step 5 of 6

   Use a cream blush in a soft pink or peach and blend onto the cheekbones. Keep it subtle — this is a healthy glow, not a bold blush moment. A touch of cream or liquid highlighter on the cheekbone tops adds a refined sheen.

6. 6

   The lip

   Step 6 of 6Almost done!

   Line lips with a nude lip liner that matches your natural lip color. Fill in with the liner, then top with a satin nude lipstick or gloss. The lip should look like 'your lips but better' — enhanced, not transformed.
