Kristin Davis is a work of art.
Kristin’s use of artful color combining in this look is positively inspiring. Her face is as mesmerizing as a Pucci print scarf or Rembrandt oil painting. If you have brown eyes, take a cue from Kristin and play them up with pigment-rich colors in light tints. What keeps this look especially fresh is the delicate, romantic lip shade.

FACE |
|
|
| Foundation /
Concealer
|
After moisturizing, apply a light, matte formula foundation to even out your skin tone. Then, apply concealer to the inner corners of the eyes and underneath to cover dark circles. You should also apply concealer to the eyelid for a base foundation before applying shadow.
After you apply your blush, use a large powder brush to lightly dust on a matching powder to set makeup. You don't want to see the powder, however, so use very little, tapping the brush several times before touching the face with it. Instead of brushing down, roll the brush across face for lighter coverage.
|
| Blush |
Use a terra cotta or light mauve blush, whichever compliments your skin tone and eye color best.
You should apply your blush in the style that best suits your face. Round faces look better with blush applied to the apple of the cheek, while narrower faces can take blush on the cheekbone.
|
| EYES |
|
|
| Eyelid |
Apply a pigment-rich, light tint shadow in a vibrant, flower-inspired shade like violet on the lid up to the crease. Sweep a light swath of this shade along your lower lash line. |
| Crease |
Apply a medium shade from the same color family in the crease from corner to corner.
|
| Hilite |
Use a nearly white version of your color family or a very pale nude sparingly on the brow bone.
|
| Eyeliner |
Choose a dark brown or black/brown wet powder or pencil. Apply the color to the top lash line, from corner to corner. Use a light touch and get the color in between the lashes - sometimes this is easier if you apply from the under side of the lashes instead of from the top side. Repeat on the lower lashline. Finally, trace the inner corner for a professional look.
|
Brows |
Use a brow wax, with a small brush to shape and fill in, or pencil. Start by defining the arch and then fill in the rest as necessary.
|
Mascara |
Curl lashes and coat two or three times with a black, thickening mascara.
|
LIPS |
|
|
|
To get your lips this fab, try brushing them very gently with an old, soft toothbrush. Then apply petroleum jelly and allow it to soak in for 30 or more minutes.
Apply a terra cotta or light mauve lipstick that matches your blush as closely as possible.
Lip liner can help refine this look. Use a lip liner shade that matches your lipstick as closely as possible.
Top with a clear or pearly gloss.
