How to use the BEAUTY BAY Make Face Palette

Step 1: Prep

Make Face Multi-Use Complexion Palette

1. Apply primer to smooth the skin and prolong the wear of makeup.

2. Decide when to use the Make Face Palette: before foundation for a natural, skin-like finish, or after foundation for fuller coverage and added dimension.

Step 2: Correct, brighten & conceal

1. Apply the colour corrector or under-eye brightener to areas of discolouration, focusing on the inner corners and under the lash line.

2. Dab the concealer under the outer corners of the eyes and blend upwards for a subtle lifting effect.

3. Add a touch of the concealer to the centre of the forehead, above the cupid’s bow, and on the chin to balance the face. Blend seamlessly for a refreshed, radiant finish. 

Step 3: Contour & bronze

Multi-Use Complexion Palette

1. Sweep the contour along the hairline and under the cheekbones to define your features.

2. Lightly trace the sides and tip of the nose for subtle definition.

3. Blend the cream bronzer over the contoured areas and into the outer crease of the eyes for soft, sculpted depth.

Step 4: Blush

1. Apply the blush to the apples of the cheeks for a natural flush or higher along the cheekbones for a lifted effect.

2. For a playful, sun-kissed look, lightly sweep a little across the bridge of the nose.

Step 5: Blend

Step 6: Set
