Mgido recommends working on the eyes first. "This way, if you make a mistake, you can correct it later with foundation," she says. "Begin by wetting Paradise AQ Face & Body Makeup in Yellow with a small brush until a creamy consistency is achieved. Apply this color to the center of the eyelid."

Next, Mgido says, "apply Paradise AQ Face & Body Makeup in Black in the same technique (wetting it first until it’s creamy), but use it on the inner and outer corners of the eye; blend it into the yellow with your brush, but still allow the yellow to show."

To finish the eye, Mgido says, "draw a dramatic cat-eye liner shape with Paradise Detailz Pen in Black."

Add Sparkle Lashes beneath the lower lash line using Adgem, a latex-free adhesive. "This creates a real bug-like look," says Mgido.

For the lips, Mgido suggests this unique idea: rework them into the shape of a box. "Start by drawing a square shape in the middle of the lips with L.I.P. Pencil in Red, filling it in as you go. Top the square portion with a mix of L.I.P. Cream Color in Valentine and Paradise Glitter in Red."

Now it’s time to perfect your complexion: mix Velvet Finish Primer with Celebre-Pro HD foundation to create a sheer base, ideal for any skin type. "You can use a higher concentration of Celebre-Pro on areas that need more coverage, such as red spots or under-eye circles," notes Mgido. Set the foundation with powder.

To make your bone structure really stand out, use Celebre-Pro in a color that’s several shades deeper than your skin tone to contour from the ear to the center of cheeks. For added drama, blend Red Rose Cheek Cream Color onto the apples of the cheeks. "Smiling while applying helps with blush placement," Mgido says.
