A tutorial from L'Oréal Paris explains that the process begins with a smooth, full-coverage base followed by clever contouring to sculpt the face. To finish, you can add drama with a shimmery smoky eye and a bold statement lip, ensuring makeup remains striking from every angle for any special occasion.
