Define the Eyes
Using Sonia Kashuk Eye Couture Eye Palette (inset) in Eye on Neutral Matte, dust shade four, a warm, reddish beige, all over the lid using a flat shadow brush. Add depth to your eye by brushing shade six, a medium neutral brown, into the crease with a contour brush.

Use This Sneaky Eyeliner Trick
Create a lush-looking lash line by tightlining with a flat eyeliner brush and shade nine, a chocolate brown, in the palette. Lift up your eyelid and apply the pigment to the upper waterline, as close to the lashes as possible. Get bigger, brighter-looking eyes by applying a flesh-tone eyeliner pencil to your lower waterline.

Curl Up
Take an eyelash curler and crimp once at the base of the lashes and once at the ends. Take your favorite mascara and pull the bristles of your wand through a tissue to clean off excess product. Sweep mascara onto your top lashes.

Lighten up the Lips
Soften your lips with a coat of balm, then line them with a nude-colored liner that's just a bit lighter than your natural lip color.

The Finishing Touch
Using your finger, pat on a pinkish-nude lipstick in a similar shade as the liner.

Now, throw some popcorn in the microwave and get ready to wow your date!
