Sneakers, shorts and tee-shirts are what defines her. Vivian does not go the extra mile to better her appearance and dresses like that every day. Wanting to help her shed that image, I (Farhana) asked her to be my model for make-up.

I thought that it would be good if she tried something new. Upon several attempts to convince her, she finally agreed to my request.

These are the make-up products I used:

1. Silkygirl Blush Hour 04 Honeywood

2. Studio M.A.C Fix NC 42

3. Silkygirl Shimmer Duo Blusher

4. Canmake Liquid Eyeliner

5. The Hypercurl Volume Express Waterproof Maybelline

6. Faceshop Lovely Stick Concealer

7. Blusher Brush

8. Eyeshadow Brush

I started off with giving her a nice foundation base powder to complement with her skin tone. I used a blusher brush since her face is wide to make sure the powder spreads out evenly.

To conceal off her dark circles, uneven skin tone and blemishes, I marked out the spots with a concealer. After that, I blended the concealer to even it out.

I used a blusher to highlight her overall features such as cheekbones, chin and forehead temples. Silkygirl Honeywood was used as it has an orangey glow that brings out her sun-kiss tan. Then, the Shimmer Duo Blusher was applied next to bring out her rosy cheeks.
