STEP 1:
Create a Smooth Base
Silky skin is an early 2000’s staple, so you want to start with a smooth base under foundation. Here, Delgado used the NYX Professional Makeup Pore Filler Targeted Stick which works to blur pores and imperfections. After blending the primer all over the face, apply foundation and concealer.

STEP 2:
Mattify the Skin
Next, set the entire face with the NYX Professional Makeup Can’t Stop Won’t Stop Mattifying Powder. This formula absorbs excess shine and will leave you with a soft, diffused finish — leaving you looking radiant and matte — not flat.

STEP 3:
Add Bold Blue and Purple Shadows
Using the NYX Professional Makeup Jumbo Eye Pencil in Blueberry Pop, outline a hollowed-out cat eye extending from your inner lid to your outer lid. Use a clean, fluffy eyeshadow brush to diffuse and smoke out the cat-eye line for some dimension. Next, apply the NYX Professional Makeup Jumbo Eye Pencil in Donut all over the open space on your lid. Blend the colors together where they meet with a fluffy brush to soften the look. Finally, bring the purple shade down to the lower lash line for definition.

STEP 4:
Add Mascara and a Glossy Lip
To complete the look, add a coat of mascara and finish with a glazed lip. Here, Delgado used the NYX Professional Makeup Butter Gloss in Spiked Toffee. Start by lining your lips with a lip liner slightly darker than your natural lip color and swipe the gloss overtop.
