She then layers on pink and oranges blushes using Benefit Cosmetic’s shade butterfly alongside the shade shellie.
The beauty creator adds the blush to her nose and above her lip, before finishing the look with Makeup Forever’s setting powder in pink.
This makes it look “realistic”, which she pairs with a fall lip colour – pumpkin spice of course – from MAC Cosmetics.
Finally she lightly fills in her eyebrows using Benefit Cosmetics’ volumizing brow pencil and once again the shellie blush for her eyes.
