lipsticks.

position is in low placed.

apply black eyeliner just to create that
eye cat form and when it comes in
eyeshadow I will apply nude shade just
to make it natural and simple.

2. Lips Since I have a thick lip I will apply

nude shade just to make it simpler and
natural.

medium thick I will just brush it to re-
shape and just to make it natural.
