How To Create The Sophisticate Makeup Look

Learn how to create the Sophisticate makeup look. This sophisticated makeup is timeless and chic with its earthy tones of chocolate, taupe and tan.

  1. A pearly-white face cream in a glass jar with its golden-coloured metallic lid next to it.

    Step 1: Charlotte's Magic Cream

    Prepare the skin with Charlotte’s Magic Cream, massaging the product into the skin.

  2. Two face primers, one for medium skin and the other for fair skin, with reflective, gold-coloured lids.

    Step 2: Wonderglow & Light Wonder

    Next apply Wonderglow for a golden glow. For a more luminous dewy complexion, mix the Wonderglow with your shade of Light Wonder foundation and apply all over the face.

  3. An open concealer with a twist-up end, in rose-gold, metallic packaging with its lid next to it.

    Step 3: The Retoucher

    Use The Retoucher on targeted areas, such as redness, blemishes and dark circles, tapping the product on to the skin for a heavier coverage.

  4. An open, mirrored-lid pressed powder compact for fair skin tones.

    Step 4: Airbrush Flawless Finish

    Use Airbrush Flawless Finish with the Powder & Sculpt Brush tracing down the t-zone and under the eyes to eliminate any extra shine.

  5. An eyebrow pencil in soft taupe shade with the lid next to it.

    Step 5: Brow Lift

    Now you have a flawless base it is time to create the Sophisticate’s perfectly groomed brows. Take your Brow Lift and use the brush end to comb the hairs upwards revealing their natural shape. Then fill in the brows with fine strokes in the direction of the hair growth. To accentuate and lift the arch use the central highlighter across the bottom of the brow.

  6. An open, mirrored-lid quad eyeshadow palette in earthy nude and smokey grey shades.

    Step 6: The Sophisticate Luxury Palette

    Take your Luxury Palette: The Sophisticate and apply the Prime shade to the entire eye lid using the Eye Blender Brush. With the Eye Smudger Brush apply the Prime shade to the inner corners to open and brighten the eyes. Nestle the Enhance shade in the socket with the Blender Brush depositing the color back and forth in a “windscreen wiper” motion. Then use the Eye Smudger Brush and apply the Enhance shade along the upper and lower lash line. Next apply the Smoke shade back and forth from the outer corner of the eye, into the socket and along the upper lash line. The Pop shade is best applied with your finger tips to the centre of your eyelid, adding glamour and sparkle.

  7. An open eyeliner pencil in a soft dark brown colour with its cap next to it.

    Step 7: The Classic in Classic Brown

    Take The Classic Classic Brown eye liner along the top lash line lifting upwards and outwards on the outer corner of the eye for a soft, subtle flick.

  8. An open, black coloured mascara in dark crimson packaging with its applicator next to it.

    Step 8: Full Fat Lashes

    To finish off the eyes use Full Fat Lashes mascara, depositing the product in the root of the lashes to give the eye as much lift as possible. Elongate the eye by using the wand at an angle, dragging the corner lashes outwards. For the bottom lashes, turn the wand vertically and use the tapered end to coat each lash.

  9. An open lip liner pencil in a nude-pink colour with the lid next to it.

    Step 9: Lip Cheat in Pillow Talk

    Sharpen your Lip Cheat in Pillow Talk and look into the mirror, smiling. By tightening the skin on the lips it is easier to see exactly where to apply the pencil. Starting on the outer corners trace the liner just outside the natural lip line. This will help cheat a fuller pout and give perfect symmetry to the lips.

  10. Two lipsticks, with and without lid in a muted fawn shade with a muted burgundy lip gloss with its doe-foot applicator next to it.

    Step 10: K.I.S.S.I.N.G in Yes Honey & Lip Lustre in High Society

    To apply K.I.S.S.I.N.G Yes Honey lipstick you may apply the product straight from the bullet or use the Lip Brush. As the brush is squared off it helps give precision on the outer corners and perfectly angles your cupid’s bow. Use Lip Lustre in High Society for a glossy sheen to dial up your 3-dimensional pout.

  11. An open, mirrored-lid duo contour palette for light to medium skin tones in sleek rose-gold-coloured packaging.

    Step 11: Filmstar Bronze & Glow

    To define your facial framework use the Sculpt shade of Filmstar Bronze & Glow. Use the Bronzer Brush in large circular motions along the cheeks, across the bridge of the nose and on the corners of your forehead. Suck in your cheeks and carve out killer cheekbones with the Powder & Sculpt Brush, bringing the brush down to define the jawline. Use the highlighter on top of the cheekbones, down the nose and lightly across the lips.

  12. An open, mirrored-lid two-tone powder blush in warm pink and brown-pink.

    Step 12: Cheek to Chic in Sex On Fire

    Finally, take the Blusher Brush to the outside shade of your Cheek to Chic: Sex On Fire and swish the color in big circular motions along the cheekbones. Use the central Pop shade on the apple of the cheek to enhance the color.
