“Fill where needed but don’t feel the need to completely draw them in.
We used Mac Eye Brows Styler on most of the cast.
“For our cast’s flushed cheeks, we used Stila cream blushers,” said Pilcher.
For the boys, we used darker shadesit was typical for men to wear rouge during this period.”

Use your fingertips to blend, tapping across the skin in circular motions to create a more natural feel.
