Who would have thought that cosmetics and culinary concepts could complement each other so well?
Maybelline’s makeup experts have cooked up the perfect recipe to looking beautiful.
The Look: The Culinary Courtesan
This beauty is no shrinking violet… she’s confident about the way she looks as well as her skills in the kitchen. Every woman wants to trade recipes with her while the men want her phone number. She possesses a certain wide-eyed innocence. Candy-coloured and pastel makeup hues flatter her flawless complexion.
Get her fabulous look by following these simple steps:
Her face…
1.After moisturising, use a foundation in a shade that is similar to your natural skin tone.
2.Apply concealer to the inner corners of the eyes, eyelids and underneath to cover dark circles. Use a sponge to press the powder into the upper and lower eyelids.
3.Dust your cheekbones with a peach-coloured blusher to instantly brighten up your complexion. Round faces look better when the blusher is applied to the apple of the cheek. Those with a narrower face shape will look good when the blusher is applied on their cheekbones.

Her eyes…
1. Start by applying a neutral, pink shade on your entire eyelid. Then, apply a darker colour along your lash line to define your eyes. Make sure that the shade used on your crease is lighter to create the right amount of contrast. Remember to blend these two shades well.
2. Apply a soft, shimmery pink shade from the crease to the brow bone. Blend well with the colour used on the crease. Then, sweep this pale pink shade along the entire lower lash line and towards the inner corner of the eye using a brush.
3. Next, trace your upper and lower lash lines with a black crayon liner or pencil. Build on each line until you have achieved the desired thickness.
4. For well-defined brows, use a brow pencil to shape and fill in your brows. You can use a brow wax to keep your eyebrows in place.
5. Curl your lashes for a wide-eyed effect and coat them two or three times with black mascara. For added glamour, you can apply fake lashes to the outer corners of your eyes.
