The Steps

Step by Step

01
Long-wear primer base
Apply a thin layer of oil-controlling primer all over the face, pressing it into the T-zone and areas prone to makeup melting. A solid oil-control base is essential for all-night party wear; start with a completely bare face free of any leftover makeup.
Pro tipOily skin types can layer an extra coat of primer on the T-zone.
02
Full-coverage matte base
Blend a high-coverage matte foundation with a beauty sponge to cover redness and blemishes. Conceal under the eyes and over acne marks, then set the entire face with a light dusting of translucent powder for a sophisticated matte finish.
Pro tipBuild coverage in thin layers over problem areas to avoid caking.
03
Sharp, feathered lifted brows
Use an ash-brown brow pencil to draw hair-like strokes following your natural brow growth. Lift the arch and elongate the tail for a clean, defined shape, then set with brow gel brushed upward to match dark hair.
Pro tipExtend the tail slightly to echo the lifted wing of the eye makeup.
04
Grey-toned eyeshadow base
Sweep a cool ash-brown eyeshadow onto the lids with a fluffy blending brush, blending upward from the lash line to the crease. Soften all edges completely with no harsh lines, and apply the same shade to both upper and lower lids for a cohesive grey base.
Pro tipKeep the blending below the brow bone to avoid making eyes look puffy.
05
Deepen and elongate the outer corner
Pack a deep charcoal eyeshadow along the outer corner, blending it outward and upward for a subtle smoky effect. Deepen the outer third of the lower lash line as well to enhance the cool, defined shape of the eyes.
Pro tipKeep the deep grey concentrated only at the outer corner—don't spread it across the lid.
06
Layer silver glitter at the outer corner
Use your finger to press silver-grey glitter onto the deepened outer corner and the center of the lid. Concentrate the glitter along the extended wing for a crushed-diamond sparkle effect.
Pro tipAvoid placing glitter directly over the center of the eyeball to prevent a puffy look.
07
Winged eyeliner and lashes
Draw a sharp, lifted wing along the upper lash line with a black liquid liner, extending and flicking the tail slightly upward. Curl lashes and apply two coats of black mascara for separated, clump-free lashes.
Pro tipAlign the end of the liner wing with the direction of the glitter wing.
08
Sculpted nose contour
Tap off excess product from a cool-toned contour powder, then lightly sweep it along the sides of the nose bridge. Blend naturally from under the inner eye down to the tip, keeping the two sides separated at the bridge—apply it so sheerly it's almost invisible, leaving only natural dimension.
Pro tipAvoid reddish contour shades, as they can look muddy.
09
Facial contour sculpting
Sweep cool-toned contour powder under the cheekbones, along the jawline, and at the hairline. Blend seamlessly to create sharp, sculpted bone structure and soften the roundness of soft facial tissue.
Pro tipBlend contour edges thoroughly to avoid harsh patches.
10
Cool crushed-diamond highlighter
Sweep a fine silver-white highlighter onto the high points of the cheeks, brow bones, nose tip, and cupid's bow. Build it in light layers so the cool shimmer complements the eye glitter and amplifies the glow under party lights.
Pro tipAvoid applying highlighter to the middle of the apples of the cheeks, as this can make the face look wider.
11
Sheer cool-toned blush
Lightly dust a cool pink-brown blush high on the cheekbones, blending seamlessly with the contour. Apply it very sheerly—just enough to add a hint of color without stealing focus from the cool-toned eye look.
Pro tipSweep the blush slightly upward to follow the direction of the contour.
12
Deep berry matte lip and setting
Apply a thin layer of deep berry matte lip mud all over the lips, softly diffusing the lip line for a blurred edge. Finish with a all-over setting spray to lock the look in place for an entire night out.
Pro tipAvoid bright lip shades—keep the tone deep and muted to match the overall look.
