Step 1: Prep

Start by prepping your eyes. Apply a thin layer of primer across your eyelids to help lock in the eyeshadow and keep colors vibrant through the entire routine.

Next, dust a little loose setting powder under your eyes. This catches any eyeshadow fallout and makes cleanup super easy later.

Step 2: Base Colors

Begin with the cream color eyeshadow and use a fluffy brush to sweep it across your eyelid for a smooth, even base.

Next, use the bone eyeshadow shade. With a flat eyeshadow brush, press the color onto your brow bone and into the inner corner of your eye to brighten. Then, apply that same shade to the center of your lid using your fingertip or a foam applicator for an even coat and soft glow.

Step 3: Define the Crease

Now take the medium brown eyeshadow. Using a dome-shaped eyeshadow brush, press that color into your crease to create definition. Switch to a fluffy brush and blend the color through the crease so everything looks soft and seamless.

Step 4: Deepen the Outer Corner

Next, grab the darker brown shade. Using the dome brush again, press the color into the outer corner of your eye in a V shape.

Extra tip: For a sharper outer edge, line up your finger from the outer corner of your eye to the end of your eyebrow as a guide while pressing in the shadow. This keeps your lines clean and structured.

Then, switch back to the fluffy brush and lightly blend the outer corner into the crease and center of the lid. You can also add a touch of that darker brown color along the lower lash line for soft definition.

Step 5: Add a Touch of Sparkle

Now it’s time for the shimmer! Apply the Liquid Glitter Eyeshadow in Champagne. Use the wand to spread a thin coat from the inner corner of the eyelid toward the center, blending slightly into the outer corner. For extra sparkle, apply a second thin layer.

It takes about a minute to dry—keep your eyes closed and fan gently until it sets for a smooth, crease-free finish.

Step 6: Lashes

Once your eyeshadow is finished, add mascara to your lashes. Apply one or two coats, depending on how much volume you like. When the mascara dries, sweep away any loose powder or fallout under the eyes for a clean finish.

Step 7: Lips

Use a makeup wipe to clean your lips so there’s no oil, balm, or leftover makeup. This helps your lip color stay smooth and long-lasting.

Grab your matte liquid lipstick. Line your lips first, then fill them in using a thin coat. Let it dry completely for one to two minutes so it sets in place and doesn’t smudge during performances.

Important: To keep the lip color transfer-proof, avoid using any chapstick, lip balm, or gloss underneath or over top. Leave it in its dry matte finish for the best hold.

Final Look

And that’s your finished look for Central High Cheer in Wyoming! This natural routine is fresh, flattering, and performance-ready—perfect for the mat, lights, and every moment in between. Have an incredible season, everyone!
