Complexion

First, I applied the Nude by Nature Airbrush Mineral Primer because I wanted to use a primer that would make my skin shine-free before I put on my foundation. For my matte base I used one of my favourite foundation, which is the Nude by Nature Flawless Liquid Foundation. Usually I would apply this foundation with a sponge but since I wanted a matte finish I opted for a kabuki brush. For concealer I used the Nude by Nature Liquid Mineral Concealer in the shades Light and Medium, and mixed them together to create the perfect shade. And I applied my concealer using the M.A.C 195 Concealer Brush.

I sculpted my cheeks with a light contour using the INIKA Organic Baked Contour Duo in Teak, and the Garbo & Kelly Defining Contour Brush. For blush I used the Napoleon Perdis Blush Engineer Palette in the shade Sussy ($49, priceline.com.au), and applied it with the The Real Techniques Blush Brush.

To set my base I used the M.A.C Prep + Prime Fix + in matte. Normally, I would use a powder to set a matte makeup look, but I find that this spray is really good for setting a matte complexion, without leaving you looking cakey. You just have to remember to shake the product really well before you use it.

Eyes

For my eyebrows I used my all-time favourite brow pencil, the M·A·C Eye Brows pencil in Lingering. To make sure my brows kept their shape all day, I brushed in the essence Make Me Brow gel.  

For my bright, matte eye look, I used the Sportsgirl Eye Shade It eyeshadow Palette in Honey ($20, sportsgirl.com.au) and started with the shade Creamed Honey as a white, matte base to help bring out the pigment of the brighter shades. I then went in with the shade Hive & Honey which is a bright yellow, matte shade, and I applied it all over my eyelid. After I finished applying my eyeshadow, I used my M.A.C 195 Concealer Brush to clean up any fall out underneath my eyes. To set my under eye concealer, I used the Becca Under Eye Brightening Setting Powder ($42, sephora.com.au).

Since I have eyelash extensions, I skipped mascara on my top lashes but I applied a brown mascara to my bottom lashes using the Nude by Nature Allure Defining Mascara in Brown.

Lips

I wanted a nice, nude matte look for my lips, so I started by lining my lips with the essence Lip Liner in In The Nude. I then applied the Mellow Liquid Lip Paint in Ibiza ($21, mellowcosmetics.com.au).
