Dewy Skin and eye liner:

Cleanse, tone and moisturise the face in order to create a clean and smooth base for the make-up. 

When applying the moisturiser massage it into the skin well using your fingers to increase the circulation to the skin.

Throughout this look apply the products with your fingers where possible, as the heat from your hands will warm the products and you can work the products into the skin well to create a nice finish. If you do not want to use your fingers then use blending sponge instead.

Then apply a primer such as Illamasqua Hydra Veil over the skin.

Apply an illuminating foundation to the skin such as Mac Face and Body. Work the product into the palms of your hands and then apply it to the face using your hands. Apply a thin layer to begin with and work it into the skin as much as possible then build up the layers if needed but do not put more product than is needed onto the skin as the look is supposed to be quite natural.

Then apply concealer to the areas that you need to.

Apply a highlighter such as The Body Shop Radiance Highlighter to the high points of the face such as the top of the cheek bones, the forehead and down the centre of the nose.

Apply a shimmer eyeshadow in a natural shade to the eyelids. Use a patting motion to apply the eyeshadow so that you can control where the product is placed as using a sweeping motion can sometimes cause the product to go where you do not want it to.

Apply a cream blush to the cheeks, making sure that you blend it into the foundation well.

Then apply gel eyeliner using an angle brush such as the Illamasqua Slanted brush. Start from the outer corner and use sweeping motions to apply the liner. Then extend the liner from the outer corner to create a flick.
