After moisturizing, apply concealer to the inner corners of the eyes and underneath to cover dark circles. Apply a small amount of concealer to the eyelid for a base foundation before applying shadow.
Use a foundation shade as close to your natural skin tone as possible and apply to any other areas of the face that need evening out. Blend well.
Alternatively, you can use a subtle bronzer evenly over the entire face if you want to go all out for that golden look.
Use a peach or terracotta shade of blush, depending upon which compliments your skintone better. You should apply your blush in the style that best suits your face. Round faces look better with blush applied to the apple of the cheek, while narrower faces can take blush on the cheekbone. Apply blush one light layer at a time until you have a delicate glow.
EYES
Eyelid Apply a shimmery gold from the lid to the crease. Sweep around and ring the entire eye with shadow.
Crease Apply a terracotta or chestnut shade in a pearl formula in the crease from corner to corner. Blend well.
Hilite Apply just a dot of the same gold that you used on your lids just below the brow and blend well.
Eyeliner
Choose a medium or dark brown powder liner or eyeshadow. Use a wet brush dipped in the powder to apply.
Apply a thin line to the top lash line, from corner to corner. Use a light touch and get the color in between the lashes. You can try dotting your way across the lashline and then going back and filling in to create one continuous line.
Repeat all the way around the eye, top and bottom lashes, until your lashline is nicely filled in, without allowing the line to get too heavy.
Finally, trace a thin, delicate line around the inner corners of the eyes for a really professional look.
Brows
Use a brow wax, with a small brush to shape and fill in, or pencil. Start by defining the arch and then fill in the rest as necessary. Lashes Curl lashes and coat two or three times with a black, lengthening mascara.
If you really want to achieve this look, like Beyonce, you'll need upper and lower false lashes. Find the "spikey" kind for the upper lashes. Use inividual lashes for the lower lid. This takes practice, so be sure to practice a couple of times beforehand. Once false lashes have set, you can use an eyelash curler to blend them into your own lashes a little bit more.
LIPS
To get glass-smooth lips, try brushing them very gently with an old, soft toothbrush. Then apply petroleum jelly and allow it to soak in for 30 or more minutes.
Choose a matching lipliner and lipstick in a golden orange or peach. Find a shade that coordinates nicely with your blush and compliments your skin tone.
Apply one coat of the lipstick and blot with tissue, then apply a second coat. Then, line the lips if necessary. Cover your lips with a coat or two of clear or frosty gloss.
