Like this look? Try it out yourself with these steps:

FACE

• Prep your face with a moisturizer and give it about 2 minutes for the skin to absorb it

• To lock in and provide an even canvas for your makeup apply a primer like MAC Prep+Prime

• Apply concealer to cover up dark circles and spots. We used Benefit’s Boi-ing No 4

• Next apply foundation in downward strokes using a foundation brush and blend it in with a makeup sponge.

• Give your cheeks a slight flush with a dab of blusher, we used MAC ‘peachykeen’ for a sunkissed look

EYES

• Outline and shape your eyebrows with Benefit’s eyebrow kit in 'Brow-a-go-go'.

• Apply a light green eyeshadow on your entire lid and an emerald green on the outer corners of your eye. We used LA Colors palette in ‘Enchanted’

• Highlight your brow bone with a light gold such as ‘Bootycall’ in the Naked 2 palette

• Next outline the inner corner of your eyes with a green pencil (NYX Aqua Green) and the outer corners with a blue pencil (NYX Blue Eyes) and blend with a stiff eye shadow brush till the colors merge with each other giving it a softer look

• With an angled eye shadow brush, apply a similar aqua colored eyeshadow under the eyes. We used Karaja's intensely pigmented eyeshadow palette.

• Layer on lash lengthening mascara such as Rimmel Glameyes Day 2 Night

LIPS

• Moisturize your lip with a balm such as Burt’s Bees beeswax lip balm

• We used a peachy shade on the entire lip for a tropical look – Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet in ‘Peach Club’

• Highlight the centre of your lips with a lighter shade such as NYX Matte lipstick in ‘Sierra’ – MLS12

• Top it off with a lip plumping gloss like NYC ‘Lippin' Large lip plumper lipgloss’
