Prime the skin with foundation applied with a damp sponge, and set with loose translucent powder applied with a powder brush.

Brush the eyebrows with a clean mascara wand and give them definition with a brown eyeshadow 1 tone lighter than your natural hair colour. Start from the centre and work the colour through the eyebrows with a short, hard brush. Use a clean cotton bud to brush off any mistakes if you make them.

Apply a sheer wash of colored, matte eyeshadow - Lizzie uses a lilac color to complement the model's hazel eyes. Work the shadow from the inner corner of each eye to the socket and blend outwards. Soften the edges with a clean brush or cotton bud.

Give your eyelids a glow with a dab of white shimmery eyeshadow in the centre of each lid.

Apply black mascara, focusing on the ends of the eyelashes to wing them up and out.

Contrast the eye color with a peach blusher on the apples of the cheeks. Work the color into the ends of the blusher brush and build up the colour gradually with several light layers.

Highlight the tops of the cheekbones with a shimmery highlighter and finish the look with a peach lip gloss.
