Kendal suggests starting by applying a sheer layer of foundation with your fingertips. One of his favorites is L'Oreal Mattique Foundation. Massage a concealer gently and evenly over any skin redness, darkness or discoloration, and completely around the eyes. (He likes Yves St. Laurent Touche Eclat and Kryolan Dermacolor Light.) Layer a few coats of base where more coverage is  needed.

Medium sized very black eyelashes are sculpted with scissors, creating a lift to the eye. Make sure to leave the outside of the lash much longer, as it is important in order to  make the eye look larger. Apply two coats of black mascara on lashes. Try Maybelline Great Lash in Very Black. 

A rosy brown shadow is applied to the lid in a half moon shape,  and blended for softness. A soft matte shadow in a pale white/pinkish shade is applied under the brow bone. His favorites right now are from Bare Essentials ID line. To  create maximum impact, a stylish, full Sophia Loren brow is then incorporated. A combination of blond brow pencil, and a rich ash colored brow powder are used to create a paint-like finish. 

With a black eye pencil, define the entire eye (again, building up the outside of the lash).  However, underneath the eye, use the pencil heavily only on the inside rim of the eye creating a look Marilyn Monroe would be proud of.

Keep lips soft and fleshy, with a hint of a glossy icy pale pink lip color.  To achieve this look,  it helps to massage in a little nude beige foundation on a well-moisturized lip.

To complete this strikingly glamorous look, lightly press a soft pale powder on with a powder puff.
