The World's Best Makeup Artist Demonstrates How to Create The Perfect Angelic Glow

A warm, romantic glow is suitable for any season. Thankfully, pro makeup artist Pat McGrath shows and tells us how to recreate it on model Kate King, using Dolce & Gabbana's gorgeous new Spring/Summer 2014 Collection — along with some other beautiful must-haves from D&G — in this exclusive Cosmopolitan.com video.

1. Ace your base. Start with Perfect Liquid Luminous Foundation and the Perfect Luminous Concealer. “Take the foundation and use one shade that's a little warmer around the cheek area for this gorgeous, Sophia Loren, sun-kissed feel,” McGrath says. 

2. Accentuate your eyes. Take a gold eyeshadow and sweep it across the lids and dab a little bit on the inner corners of the eyes. “It’s nice also to do this with a little bit of a wet brush so that you get that real intensity,” McGrath says. Then, take The Eyeshadow Smooth Eye Colour Quad in Desert and use the medium brown tone under the eyes and a little bit in the socket for a soft golden eye. 

3. Line your eyes. To make the eyes brighter and take away any redness, McGrath applied a nude pencil to the waterline. Then she drew a small line on the outer corners of the eyes with The Eyeliner Crayon Intense in Chocolate and went over it with the Glam Liner in Baroque Bronze. 

4. Fake flirty, flushed cheeks. McGrath dusted The Blush Luminous Cheek Colour in Rosebud, Apricot, and Peach on the cheeks, the hairline, and the chin for an all-over glow. 

5. Swipe on a subtle pink lip color. "We have these fantastic new lip colors, Bellisima and Traviata, and I literally mix them together on my hand and then just pat it on the lips to give this fantastic, beautiful, kind of spring fresh color," McGrath says. 

Now you have a natural, sun-kissed glow just like Sophia Loren. Thanks, Pat!

Makeup Tutorial: How To Create a Perfect Cat Eye Every Single Time

Can't quite master the art of creating a cat eye? Makeup artist Lauren Cosenza shows and tells you just how to wing it — perfectly.

1. Wing it out. "Using a high-quality eyeliner brush, dip the tip into a black gel eyeliner pot and start creating the tail of what will be the wing of your liner," says Cosenza. "Begin at the outer corner of your eye, angling the brush toward your temple (not the tail of your brow) for a more everyday (versus night) kind of look." Charlotte used Make Up For Ever Aqua Creamliner.

2. Create dashes and connect the dots. "Run the same gel liner along your top lash line — starting from a quarter of the way in from the inner corner of your eye (where your lashes begin) — using dashed guidelines," she says. "Then, connect the dots to help you draw a smooth, straight line."

3. Draw a tiny, elongated triangle off of the tail you created in step one. "Using your eyeliner brush, make a diagonal line that comes off of the winged liner you drew in step one and connect it to the liner you just traced along your upper lash line," says Cosenza.

4. Fill in the triangle shape that connects the winged liner to the upper lash line. And make it look fluid by thickening the liner along your upper lash line with a felt-tip liquid liner, like L'Oréal Lineur Intense Brush Tip Liquid Eyeliner.

5. Clean up any imperfections. And sharpen lines (if yours were wobbly) with a makeup remover pen.

Here's to applying winged liner like a pro and getting it right every single time.
