  Step 1

  I started with a blank face and smothered on some moisturizer and scrubbed my lips. (This is optional in case you already have flawless skin, which I do not.)

• 

  Step 2

  My first make-up step was to use my foundation/concealer of choice and give my face a flawless start. I also went ahead and filled in my eyebrows with a pencil. However you begin your face will do!

• 

  Step 3

  All products used on my face so far:
  Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation in 110 Ivory
  Hard Candy Nobody's Perfect Concealer Palette in Fair 133
  NYC Kohl Eyebrow Pencil in 925 Sable

• 

  Step 4

  Next I sweeped a shimmery neutral shadow all over my lid and just above my crease.

• 

  Step 5

  I took a silver eyeliner (just to switch things up) and drew along my lower waterline with that.

• 

  Step 6

  I went in with my favorite highlighter color and hit a few different areas of my eye. (See next photo for details)

• 

  Step 7

  I used the highlighter along my brow, inner corner, under my lower lashes, and finally a dab in the center of my eyelid. What can I say, I like lots of shimmer!

• 

  Step 8

  My least favorite step was using my black eyeliner pencil to draw a perfect wing. (I've tried other products like gel and liquid and find that they smear all over my eye throughout the day. If you prefer them, go for it!)

• 

  Step 9

  The winged eyeliner part was my least favorite because they will alway come out two different lines. *sigh*

• 

  Step 10

  My eyes aren't done, but I'm gonna skip over to my face. I added a pinky blush to the apples of my cheeks and a very light bronzer to my cheekbones (simply to define them).

• 

  Step 11

  More highlighter, please! This time I added it to the top of my cheeks and blended it in.

  (If you have oily skin, you're totally welcome to skip all the shimmer I used and just use matte products. I have very dry skin and welcome any shine my skin can get!)

• 

  Step 12

  Here's what my face looks like so far.

• 

  Step 13

  These are the products I used for all of the above steps (and also some later):
  Bright Up Your Light eyeshadow trio by POP Beauty
  Cynthia Rowley eyeliner (no name, just a silver color)
  Wet'n'Wild Idol Eyes cream eyeshadow in 130 Pixie
  Ecotools fluffy eyeshadow brush
  Ecotools fluffy blush brush
  e.l.f. contouring blush & bronzing powder (just the blush)
  Pacifica natural beauty in Duo 1 (just the bronzer)
  Avon Smooth Minerals mascara in Brown/Black
  Forever Noir Long Wear Eyeliner

• 

  Step 14

  I took my same highlighter from before and put a little above and below my lips and blended well.

• 

  Step 15

  I took my favorite red lip liner and, well, lined my lips! I also filled it in completely.

• 

  Step 16

  After putting on some red lipstick (no picture available, but you believe me, right?) I dabbed even more highlighter just on the center of my lips.

• 

  Step 17

  Here are my lip products of choice:
  Jordana Easyliner for Lips in Sedona/Red
  Revlon Matte lipstick in 900 Really Red

• 

  Step 18

  Things are about to get interesting! It's time for adding the Timid lashes.

• 

  Step 19

  There are a few methods for putting these one, but the following worked best for me.

  I took the supplied glue and brushed a thin coat of glue onto the lash. I wiped off any excess onto my hand.

• 

  Step 20

  True to most methods, I blew on the lashes and waited about 20 seconds for the glue to get just tacky enough to apply.

• 

  Step 21

  I then carefully applied the lashes. (But not careful enough) You will note that my left eye is slightly skewed on the inner corner. That is completely my own fault because I'm not yet a false eyelash whiz. The glue was pretty strong so I didn't want to take it off and try again. I don't think it was too huge and noticeable though?

• 

  Step 22

  I used some mascara to seal my real lashes to the false ones.

• 

  Step 23

  The I curled the lashes together. Boy could the Timid lashes hold a curl!

• 

  Step 24

  These are the Timid eyelashes I used. They are the "Zoey".

• 

  Step 25

  My eyes are all fancied up now!

• 

  Step 26

  The last step is to check yourself out in the mirror. I'm pretty obsessed with the final look!
