"I wanted to keep her face fresh and bright," she said. "Here's what I used!"

Mai started with Mark Calm & Composed Moisturizer before applying Mark Face Xpert in Buff using a foundation brush. She then used Mark Good Riddance in Fair/Light around Kristen's nose and mouth, and Mark Get Bright in Light under her eyes and down the bridge of her nose. Mai used Mark Just Pinched in Peachy on the apples of Kristen's cheeks using a concealer brush. Mai added Mark Good Glowing Mosaic Blush in Hush Baby to her cheeks, using the blush/bronzer brush -- "just to make them pop!" she said. She then set Kristen's face with Mark Matte-nificent Powder in Nude Ivory using a powder brush.

On Kristen's eyes, Mai started with I-Mark eyeshadow in Biscotti, putting it on her lid using an allover eyeshadow brush. In the crease of her eyes, Mai mixed I-Mark eyeshadows in Latte and Minx with an angled contour eyeshadow brush. Kristen's eyes were rimmed with Mark Longwear Eye Pencil in Solid Gold and then smudged with Mark Eyemarker Pencil in Java along the top of the lashline and underneath the bottom lashes using an eyeliner brush. Mai finished her eyes with Mark Lash Splash Mascara in Black.

Mai used Mark Pro Gloss in Swell to finish the look.
