Sunset Glow Makeup Tutorial

Step-by-step

1. 1

   Luminous base

   Step 1 of 7

   Apply a dewy or satin-finish foundation. Mix in a drop of liquid illuminator or glow primer for extra radiance. Conceal only where needed — under eyes and any redness. Skip heavy powdering; set only the T-zone with a light dusting of translucent powder.

2. 2

   Bronze shimmer wash

   Step 2 of 7

   Sweep a warm bronze shimmer across the entire lid, from lash line to crease. Use your finger for maximum shimmer payoff. Blend a soft matte brown just above the crease to add depth, keeping the transition soft and diffused.

   Tip: Use a champagne or light gold shimmer on the inner corner to open up the eye.

3. 3

   Golden inner corner

   Step 3 of 7

   Pat a light gold or champagne shimmer onto the inner corner of the eye and along the inner third of the lower lash line. This creates the light-catching quality that makes the whole look feel golden.

4. 4

   Warm bronzer

   Step 4 of 7

   Apply a warm bronzer to the hollows of the cheeks, temples, forehead perimeter, and jawline. Build for a sun-kissed warmth that enhances the golden theme.

5. 5

   Peachy-coral blush

   Step 5 of 7

   Apply a peachy-coral blush to the tops of the cheekbones, sweeping up toward the temples. Place it higher than you normally would for a sun-caught, glowy effect.

6. 6

   Highlight the high points

   Step 6 of 7

   Apply a golden liquid or cream highlighter to the tops of the cheekbones, bridge of the nose, and Cupid's bow. The highlighter should look like sunlight catching your face, not a stripe of shimmer.

7. 7

   Nude-peach lip and lashes

   Step 7 of 7Almost done!

   Apply a warm nude or peach-toned lip gloss. Add two coats of volumizing mascara. Optional: warm brown eyeliner on the upper waterline for subtle definition.
