This week’s beauty tip is on ‘Ashley Benson’s Pretty Pink Lip’. Take your makeup box and try…

1. Start by applying a lightweight moisturizer and lip balm. (Mai used La Mer The Moisturizing Lotion and The Lip Balm on Ashley). 

2. With a damp makeup sponge, like the BeautyBlender, blend a liquid foundation all over. (Mai used Makeup Forever Liquid Lift Foundation). Apply concealer under your eyes and wherever you need extra coverage. Finish with a setting powder. 

3. Dust bronzer on your forehead, cheeks, and chin to get a natural-looking glow. (Mai used Dior Diorskin Nude Tan Healthy Glow Bronzer). Swipe a bright pink blush, such as Nars Blush in Desire, on the apples of your cheeks.

4. Balance the bold lip with a more subtle eye look. Apply a beige shadow to your inner lid and blend a light brown shade on your outer lid (Mai used Makeup Forever Cream Aqua Shadow in White Pearl Shimmer and Taupe Brown Shimmer on Ashley). Finish with two coats of volumizing mascara.

5. Fill in your brows with an eyebrow pencil that acts as a powder and wax in one, such as Hourglass Arch Brow Sculpting Pencil. 

6. Prep your lips with lip balm, so your lipstick will go on smoother. Then use a lip brush for precision, and apply a warm, rosy pink color. Mai used Dolce & Gabbana Cream Lipstick in Chic 230 on Ashley.
