In my course on creating fresh and smoky performance make-up, I follow an easy step-by-step guide for the final touches.
Step 1 – Blush
a. Use any color you prefer for a pop of color (Christie uses a deep burgundy)
b. Start at the apples of the cheeks and blend out and down
*The lighting should always come from the front
Step 2 – Lips
a. Start lip liner closely matched to your lip color
b. Line around the lips and fill in (try putting on lipstick first-then the liner)
c. Choose a neutral lip color to counter the drama in the smoky eye
*Make sure the lighting is not too bright so as to not take away from the intensity of the eye makeup
