Step 1: Put on a lip balm before you apply foundation. Mix your foundation with moisturiser and apply it all over your face and down your neck.  Countour your cheeks, temples and jawline with a matte bronzer and apply a peachy pink blush.

Step 2: Apply a primer all over your eyelid.  Pat a cream eyeshadow with gold sparkles all over the lid and blend at the crease.  

Step 3:  Place a hot pink eyeshadow in the crease and blend out to get the rough shape of the shadow.  Pack on the pink eyeshadow, blending as you go along to build up the intensity.

Step 4:  Mix the pink eyeshadow with a purple and apply it in the outer 'v' of your eye and blend into the crease. Make sure there is more pink than purple shadow showing through.

Step 5:  Put some of the pink on the lower lashline. Use a black pencil to tightline as well as waterline and smudge some on the lower lashline setting the pencil with black shadow (optional).

Step 6:  Apply mascara and a dusky pink lipstick and you are good to go :D
