★ Get the Look…

Moisturize your face, focusing on dry areas.

Apply concealer under the eye area & on any blemishes or red areas.

Apply foundation making sure to blend into the neck.

Next, apply powder foundation with powder brush.

Apply setting powder with powder brush.

Apply blush right on the cheekbones, from the apple of the cheekbone to the hairline.

Use a contour a few shades darker then your foundation, then apply below your cheekbones.

Apply a light pink eye shadow all over the eyelid. Kacie used a pink found in her OFRA pallet.

Apply a dark purple shadow above the lash line, using an angled brush and bringing it slightly up to a wing on the outer lid. Kacie used a purple found in her OFRA pallet

Next blend the pink & purple shadows.

Using OFRA eyeliner in black, tightly line the upper lid under the lashes. Also apply to the bottom water line.

Use a liquid liner to line the eyelids closest to your lashes. Making the line gradually thicker from the middle of the lid to the outside corner.

Apply OFRA mascara in black.

Next you will want to highlight areas on the face. Kacie used OFRA Cappuccino as a highlighter. Apply this to the middle of the nose, forehead, under the eye area and to the bow of your upper lip.

Apply setting spray.

Next, apply OFRA peachy lipstick to finish your look!

TIP ➳ Dab your highlighter color on the middle of your top & bottom lip. Then blend into your lipstick. This helps to make your lips appear full.
