How To Get The Look: Moroccan Rose

Once the Spring time starts batting its eyelashes by way of little buds on tree branches, my skin begins to perk up. The winter is hard on my skin, with winds that chap and dry, indoor heat that makes me itchy. By the time warmer weather starts to stretch from its hibernation, I am more than happy to welcome its arrival.

Spring is a great time to welcome that warmth and rebirth with a delicate face of flushed cheeks and delicious pink lips. Our Moroccan Rose line features shades of pink from sweet to saucy, but all designed to revive us from the darkness of a dry winter.

If you’re ready to experiment with the fresh new shades from the Moroccan Rose line, but aren’t exactly sure how to combine all of the elements, we’ve put together a simple How-To below on getting the look pictured.

FACE

• Start with an even base by using a Professional Makeup Sponge to blend Flawless Skin Protecting Foundation SPF 25. Just because the Spring rays are gentle, doesn’t mean the UV rays are any easier on your skin.

• Use a small Lipstick/Concealer Brush to apply concealer to your trouble spots.

• Use the larger Face & Body Brush to gently dust on Roseflower Blush Shade 01:Pink to the apples of the cheeks (the part that rounds out when you smile).

EYES

• Use our Eyeshadow Brush to apply Roseflower Eyes Shade 01: Sunshine Gold, starting at the inner corner of the eye, and then blending over the lid in an upward sweeping motion.

• Dampen the Smudger Brush just slightly and line the lower lashes with Roseflower Eyes Shade 01: Sunshine Gold (link).

• Add a touch of Roseflower Eyes Shade 02: Mint Green to the Smudger Brush and shade the area just underneath the brow bone.

• Line the upper lid with Liquid Eyeliner Shade 01: Black to make the shadow define the eyes even more.

• Finish off with a swipe of Divide & Multiply Mascara Shade 01: Black.

LIPS

• Smooth on a few layers of Roseflower Lips Shade 01: Soft Pink, and then dab a bit of Roseflower Lips Shade 03: Deep Pink onto the center of the lower lip. This little trick makes lips appear more full and luscious.
