Step One: Embryolisse Emulsion Hydra-mat Moisture/Primer – Prep your skin with this great product that will matte and moisturize your skin. Perfect for those with oily skin!
When applying your primer be sure that you evenly distribute it all over your face. If you have a few problem areas,  such as wrinkles (around your mouth and eyes) and your T-Zone areas, be sure to add a tad more there. We like to use the beauty blender from Sephora. It is amazing, but your fingers work just as good. Wait a few minutes for the primer to soak in and set on your face.

Step Two: Conceal and Bronze Jade used the Belletto Studio Airbrush {Sahara Sand & Sun Goddess bronzer}. They have tutorials on the site on how to airbrush your tan. You can also follow the below steps if you do not have an airbrush system you can simply use a bronzing powder and a highlighter. Below are a few celebs sporting that bronzed look!

Bronzer: For a sun-kissed complexion we recommend Makeup Forever Mat Bronze with a large, soft brush. You are then going to tap off any excess powder onto your hand, then apply under your cheek bones. Remember to blend. Sweep a touch across your forehead, temples and chin and the bridge of your nose for a genuine bronzed look.
Highlighter: Maximize up your cheekbones with a highlighter. We recommend Dolce and Gabbana The Illuminator Glow Illuminating Powder. You will apply this to your cheekbones, forehead and nose. Before you move on this is the time to apply your mascara ours is Benefit They're Real Mascara.

Hourglass hidden corrective concealer “Sand” – Apply your concealer under the eyes, down the center of nose and to the chin for concealing and highlight! Foundation/Bronzer: Belletto Studio Airbrush {Sahara Sand & Sun Goddess bronzer Laura Mercier Smooth Finish Powder “10” – Let your Airbrush dry for about 5-10 minutes {apply your mascara at this time} THEN set your face with powder and a fluffy brush!
Under eye powder: Ben Nye Banana Powder with a dry Beauty Blender – press under the eyes to set your concealer! Milani blush in “Luminoso” – Apply this beautiful bronzed/peach blush to the apples of the cheeks and upwards towards cheekbones lightly! Anastasia BH Contour Kit- Hollow out your cheeks, jawline and define your nose with this amazing contour kit!

Step Three: Brows and Eye Primer Jade groomed her brows by brushing them with a spooly brush and then filling them in to define her shape with  Anastasia Beverly Hills Dip brow in Chocolate. Followed by using an eye primer -Urban Decay Sin. She applied the champagne shimmer to the entire lid so that the shadows would stick and pop more!
Step Four: Eyes Eyeshadow palette Kat Von D Monarch - Apply “Summerfly” to the center of the eyelid | Apply “Shadowbox” to the crease with a fluffy blending brush | Apply “Deadhead” to the outer crease to darken it up a bit & apply to the bottom lash line | Apply “Vanish” into the crease to blend out the darker shadows you just applied. Benefit eye brightening pencil for waterline – apply to inner waterline to open the eyes and make them pop! Bobbi Brown “Pitch Black” gel eyeliner – Apply this gel eyeliner on the top lash line with an angled brush to make a track to hide the false lashes. Ardell False lashes: Ardell #203 Double Up Lashes - These ultra thick lashes add beautiful volume and an instant lift for your eyes!
Step Five: Lips MAC “Soft and Gentle” Highlighter - Highlight the center of your nose, under the brows, and highest part of your cheekbones!
