This beauty look is fresh enough for any woman to achieve, it has a nice glow to it and we all love a good red lip. This beauty look we can rock now because it has a timeless vibe. Love this look, check out the beauty deets straight from backstage below! 

Grace applied Fit Me Dewy + Smooth Foundation for a flawless complexion. She contoured the hollows of the face with City Bronzer and highlighted cheekbones with Facestudio Master Chrome Metallic Highlighter in Molten Gold. To lend skin a dewy sheen, Grace added Baby Lips in Quenched over top. For a fresh flush, she pressed Made For All By Color Sensational in Spice For Me onto cheeks with her fingertips.

She created a bushy brow by filling in arches with Brow Precise Micro Eyebrow Pencil and brushing hairs up and into place with Great Lash Clear Mascara. 

To define eyes, Grace rimmed the upper and lower lashes with Eyestudio Lasting Drama Waterproof Gel Pencil Eyeliner in Glazed Toffee and smudged Root Beer from the Soda Pop Eyeshadow Palette over top. She washed Cola Float from the same palette across lids and highlighted the brow bone with Ginger Ale. Top lashes were polished off with Volum’ Express The Falsies Washable Mascara. 

After applying Baby Lips in Quenched for hydration, Grace created a strong and sexy lip using Made For All By Color Sensational in Red For Me
