How to Create ‘Holiday Copper Glow’ Makeup Look

Step 1: Base

I prepped my skin with rhode Glazing Milk, the Peptide Serum and the Barrier Restore Cream.

I applied the Sephora Collection Smooth + Blur Primer, then used the Best Skin Ever Foundation in shade 10N for a natural finish.

I brightened the under-eye area with the Fenty Concealer in shade 150, contoured with Sephora Cream Contour shade 02 and warmed up the complexion with Benefit Hoola Bronzer. 

Step 2: Cheeks

For blush, I used rhode Tan Lines and layered Sephora Blush shade 06 on top.

I set everything with the One/Size Translucent Powder. 

Step 3: Eyes

For the eyes, I used the Too Faced Natural Nudes Palette, added the Sephora Eye Pencil in Coconut on the waterline and finished with Size Up Mascara.

For the brows, I filled them in with the Sephora Brow Pencil in shade 06. 

Step 4: Lips & Set

For the lips, I applied Benetint, lined with Sephora Lip Liner 14 and finished with the rhode Peptide Lip Treatment in Vanilla.

I locked everything in place with the One/Size On ’Til Dawn Setting Spray.
