6.Here's the main part, take a good smooth kabuki brush like Japonesque's and buff Sugar tropic tan bronzer all over face, neck and chest in circular motions.

I applied 2-3 layers on Katy. Make sure everything's even.

*Apply more on the cheekbones, temples, forehead, nose, and chin.

7. Apply Mac's blush in gingerly with Bare Escentuals angled face brush on cheeks and more on the hollows for a contour effect.

8. Apply a little Paula Dorf eye lite under eyes for instant brightening (you
could do this before foundation, i just forgot!)

9. With the Tony & Tina angled brush apply Vasanti solar flare on inner corners, mac coppering on the rest of the lash line smoking it up, and then a dark brown shadow on the outer lash lines.

Thanks for the tut! If I may make a small suggestion, I would have dusted loose powder under her eyes that you can sweep away at the end, it seems like there's a lot of fall out under her eyes, and maybe blended a bit more on the jawline. But I like the colours you used on her eyes.

Also, can I ask what nailpolish you are wearing? I love that ruby red color!!
