This makeup look is not only easy to achieve and wearable, but it also makes every eye color stand out.

Before I begin to explain how to recreate this look, it's important to remember it's all about luminosity. Highlighted skin and bright eyes.

Steps:

Eyes

Prepare the base for the eyeshadow by applying concealer or eyeshadow primer, then set it with setting powder or a bone/banana eyeshadow.

1. Apply a light brown shadow on your crease, blending it as close to the brows as possible. You can use your bronzer for this step.

2. Apply a darker brown shadow on the outer corner of the eye, blending it towards the crease and also up to the center of the lid.

3. Apply a dark chocolate eyeshadow on the outer corner as well, blending it only towards the lid, yet you should be able to see a transition between the shadow from Step 2 and this one.

4. For the inner part of the lid, use a rose gold or coppery eyeshadow.

5. Highlight the inner corner of your eyes and brow bone with a golden eyeshadow or highlighter.

6. Mascara and that's it for the eyes.

Face

7. As I said, this look is all about luminosity, so for primer use a highlighting one or a liquid highlighter.

8. Apply foundation. If it's sheer is better, so that it doesn't cover the effect of the primer.

9. Conceal in a triangle shape under your eyes, then between your eyebrows and in a line down the bridge of your nose.

10. Set only the concealed areas using setting powder.

11. Contour your cheeks, nose and forehead.

12. Apply bronzer on the outer parts of your cheeks and forehead.

13. As for blush, use a pink/coral one on the apples of your cheeks.

14. Using the same golden highlighter that you used for your eyes, highlight the high points of your cheeks, center of your forehead and tip of the nose.

15. On the lips, apply a nude pink lipstick followed by a gloss, preferably a pink one as well.

16. (Optional) Set your face using a makeup setting spray.
