My Reading Room
For your SKIN

1. Apply foundation using a brush, since it gives you a smoother finish. If you’re using the Play 101 Foundation Stick, use the Play 101 Stick Brush!

2. Sweep highlighter onto your forehead, chin, nose, and cheekbones to create a strobing effect. You can use the highlighting side from the Play 101 Stick Contour Duo for this.

3. Blend away for a seamless, dewy finish.

My Reading Room
For your EYES

1. Draw some horizontal lines up till the middle of your lids using the Play 101 Pencil. Here, Dave is using a peachy tone for a more natural look.

2. Blend the creamy formula upwards with your fingers or a brush, creating a gradation. Be careful not to go over the eyeball area.

3. Using a pink Play 101 Pencil, colour your eyeline and the middle of your lid. Smudge it again for an ombré effect.

4. Finish up by curling your lashes and applying a generous layer of mascara.

My Reading Room
For your CHEEKS

1. Draw a spiral on the apple of your cheeks using a pink colour from the Play 101 Blending Pencil range. For this demonstration, Dave is using shade number 18.

2. Fill in the gaps in the spiral with highlighter.

3. Blend until the colours are evenly mixed. Your blush should now have a glowy, translucent finish!

My Reading Room
For your LIPS

1. Using a brush, tap your lipstick on the inner parts of your lips. Dave is using shade PK027 from the Dear My Blooming Lips Talk Chiffon range. Psst: it’s Krystal’s pick and you can see her rocking this shade in the promos for ETUDE HOUSE.

2. Don’t purse your lips together! Instead, wipe off all the excess lipstick from the brush, and once it’s clean, use it to blend out the colour on your lips for a smooth and lush gradient effect. Aaaaaaand done!
