    Apply a long wearing foundation with good coverage, such as Silk Cream Compact Foundation, but Natural Finish Foundation would work beautifully as well. Buff the makeup into the skin for flawless coverage, add extra coverage to the under eye area to conceal imperfections with Skin Perfector Concealer and set with Every Finish Powder.

Add intensity on the other corner with Sable and apply Devoted to the inner corner and center of the lid for a pop of champagne pink. Line the upper and lower waterline with Black Walnut Eye Pencil and apply waterproof mascara in Stiletto to top and bottom lashes.
