More Things You Need Loose/translucent powder and powder brush Darker powder/bronzer Extras, optional Eye shadow, Blush Lipstick

STEP ONE Apply natural/normal foundation To even out skin tone Not to make skin perfect, flawless

STEP TWO USING A FINE-TIPPED BRUSH AND DARK BROWN CREAM MAKEUP, CAREFULLY TRACE THE NATURAL LINES ON YOUR FACE (AROUND MOUTH, EYES AND FOREHEAD) AND NECK. IF YOU HAVE NO WRINKLES, SCRUNCH YOUR FACE UP TIGHTLY TO SEE WHERE THESE LINES WOULD BE. TAPER THE LINES AT THE ENDS FOR A MORE NATURAL LOOK. YOU MAY USE EYE LINER, BUT MAKE SURE THE TIP IS KEPT VERY SHARP.

STEP THREE USING THE WIDER, FLAT-TIPPED BRUSH AND WHITE CREAM MAKEUP, CAREFULLY DRAW A WHITE LINE RIGHT UP AGAINST THE DARK LINE AND BLEND IT UPWARD TOWARD THE HIGHLIGHTED AREAS OF YOUR FACE. THE BRIGHTEST PART OF THE WHITE SHOULD BE RIGHT NEXT TO THE DARK AND THEN FADING OUTWARD. DO THIS FOR ALL THE DARK LINES DRAWN ON YOUR FACE. IF YOU USE EYE LINER, BLEND THE AREA WITH THE EDGE OF A MAKEUP SPONGE.

STEP FOUR AFTER YOU FINISH THE WRINKLES, APPLY A DARKER POWDER UNDER YOUR CHEEKBONES, EYES AND VERTICALLY DOWN THE FRONT OF YOUR NECK ON EITHER SIDE OF YOUR ESOPHAGUS. THIS WILL GIVE THE ILLUSION OF THESE AREAS BEING SUNK IN. ALTERNATELY, SMUDGE WHITE CREAM MAKEUP ON CHEEKBONES, ABOVE EYEBROWS AND DOWN THE CENTER OF YOUR NECK AS HIGHLIGHT TO CREATE MORE DEPTH. BE SURE TO BLEND THESE AREAS VERY WELL. A MAKEUP SPONGE WORKS BEST.

STEP FIVE APPLY REGULAR MAKEUP (EYE SHADOW, BLUSH, LIPSTICK) ACCORDING TO YOUR CHARACTER. JUST OPT FOR NATURAL, BROWNISH TONES INSTEAD OF PINKS AND REDS.
