Next up they got a challenge for Baja East’s Spring 2016 showcase. The makeup was all about sheer skin and grunge hair. To achieve the look, they used a thin layer of matte+poreless foundation and their under-eye highlighted with concealer.

Their cheek bones were accentuated with a face studio master contour with high points of the face highlighted. The look was finished with a lip balm to give a soft glossy finish.
