How to Apply
1.
Foundation & Concealer:
- Begin with a clean, moisturized face. Hydrated skin is the canvas for a flawless makeup look.
- Apply a small amount of foundation to the back of your hand or a makeup palette.
- Using a makeup brush, sponge, or your fingertips, start in the center of your face (typically the nose) and blend the foundation outward. Make sure to blend it evenly for a natural finish.
- Dab concealer onto any areas that need extra coverage, like under-eye circles or blemishes. Gently pat and blend the concealer until it seamlessly blends with your foundation.
2.
Red Eyeshadow:
- To make Eri's red eyes pop, you'll need a vibrant red eyeshadow.
- Start by applying an eyeshadow primer to your eyelids. This will help the red eyeshadow adhere better and stay vibrant.
- Use an eyeshadow brush to pick up the red eyeshadow pigment and gently pat it onto your eyelids. Start from the inner corner and work your way out.
- To intensify the color, you can wet your brush slightly before applying the eyeshadow.
- Blend the edges of the red eyeshadow with a clean, fluffy eyeshadow brush to soften any harsh lines.
3.
Eyeliner:
- A black eyeliner pencil or gel liner works great for defining your eyes.
- Start at the inner corner of your upper lash line and draw a thin line as close to your lashes as possible. You can make it slightly thicker towards the outer corner if you desire a winged effect.
- If you want to create a wing, extend the line slightly upward and outward from the outer corner of your eye. Connect it to the existing line to form a wing.
4.
False Eyelashes (Optional):
- False lashes can add drama to your Eri look.
- Apply a thin layer of lash adhesive to the band of the false lashes and wait a few seconds for it to become tacky.
- Using tweezers or your fingers, carefully place the false lashes just above your natural lash line. Press them gently to ensure they adhere securely.
- You can use mascara to blend your natural lashes with the falsies for a seamless look.
5.
Blush:
- Smile to find the apples of your cheeks.
- Using a blush brush, apply the soft pink blush to these areas. Blend it slightly upward toward your temples for a youthful, rosy glow.
- Remember, Eri has a sweet and innocent look, so don't go too heavy with the blush.
6.
Lipstick:
- Finish off your Eri look with a soft pink lipstick.
- Start by outlining your lips with a lip liner in a matching shade. This will help define the lip shape.
- Fill in your lips with the soft pink lipstick. Blot your lips together or use a lip brush for precise application.
- To make the lipstick last longer, you can lightly dust translucent setting powder over your lips.
