everyday. the classic look

This timeless look is the essence of subtle elegance and classic beauty – perfect for both everyday wear and special occasions. Freshly flushed cheeks, precisely shaped brows, softly blended eyeshadows, and lips in a bestselling dusty rose shade come together to create a harmonious, naturally beautiful finish. Ideal for anyone who appreciates lightness, radiance, and effortless style – with the confidence of reliable, polished results.

Steps:
Step 1 – Blush
Add a touch of freshness to your complexion using a natural-toned blush. Apply to the apples of your cheeks and blend upward toward the temples for a healthy, radiant glow.
Step 2 – Brow Pencil
Define your eyebrows with a precise brow pencil to enhance their shape and structure. Use light strokes to fill in sparse areas and subtly perfect the brow line for a natural yet polished effect.
Step 3 – Eyeshadow Palette & Mascara
Sweep soft, matte eyeshadows in neutral tones across your eyelids, blending thoroughly to achieve seamless transitions. Complete the eye look with a defining black mascara that lifts and separates the lashes while keeping them lightweight and comfortable throughout the day.
Step 4 – Lip Liner & Lipstick
Outline your lips with a creamy lip liner in a warm nude or pink shade, then follow with a matching lipstick for a full, smooth, and elegant finish. This combination creates a timeless and understated everyday lip look.

skin first. the minimal look

A subtle and conscious interpretation of the “less is more” rule. It combines thoughtful skincare, a delicate touch, and the effect of healthy, well-rested skin. Perfect for those who love the no-makeup style without giving up a radiant, refined finish. The minimalism of this look is based on gentle contouring, soft glow, and natural textures that leave your skin looking fresh, radiant, and natural. It’s makeup that doesn’t dominate, but subtly enhances your features – minimalist, fresh, and lightweight. A versatile choice for any occasion.

Steps:
Step 1 – Foundation & Eye Concealer
Apply a light layer of creamy foundation to even out your skin tone and create a fresh, radiant base. Use a brightening under-eye concealer to awaken the look and smooth the delicate eye area — opt for a formula enriched with caring ingredients like caffeine or peptides for added skincare benefits.
Step 2 – Cream Blush, Highlighter & Compact Mirror Palette
Dab a cream blush onto the cheeks and blend it gently upward toward the temples. Use the leftover product on your fingers to softly tint your eyelids for a natural, monochromatic effect. Illuminate the high points of your face — like the cheekbones and brow bones — with a subtle cream highlighter, adding a healthy glow and light-reflecting finish.
Step 3 – Mascara
Swipe on one coat of brown mascara to define and lift the lashes while maintaining a soft, natural look. Perfect for enhancing the eyes in a subtle and effortless way.
Step 4 – Brow Gel
Brush your brows upward and into shape with a clear brow gel. This will help set them in place while giving a clean, lifted, and naturally groomed effect — ideal for minimalist yet structured makeup.
Step 5 – Lip Liner & Liquid Lipstick
Outline your lips with a neutral-toned lip liner, then blend gently for a soft contour. Finish with a touch of liquid lipstick applied to the center of the lips — tap with your finger for a natural tint or apply fully for a juicy, glazed effect. Quick, polished, and sun-ready.

that girl. the defined look

A look with character – fresh, trendy, and full of mindful lightness. A modern take on the classics that enhances facial features without overdoing it. It gently defines the cheekbones, brightens the eyes, and subtly shapes the lips – in tune with current trends and a confident spirit.
Stylish, fresh, and precise – perfect to elevate your natural expression. This is makeup that doesn’t overpower but instead enhances in harmony – adding confidence and definition. A look for those who love to feel modern, stylish, and authentic.

Steps:
Step 1 – Concealer
Apply a small amount of brightening under-eye concealer to the area beneath the eyes and the tops of the cheekbones. This step helps awaken and freshen the look without heaviness. Choose a formula enriched with skincare ingredients like peptides to nourish and smooth the delicate skin around the eyes.
Step 2 – Cream Bronzer & Cream Blush
Use a cream bronzer to define your facial structure — apply along the cheekbones, jawline, and forehead. Follow with a cream blush, placing it high on the cheeks and blending upward toward the temples for a healthy, lifted glow. Both textures blend easily for a softly sculpted, seamless finish that enhances your features while keeping the look fresh and natural.
Step 3 – Lip Pencil
Outline the lips using a lip-defining pencil. Lightly blur the contour inward to create a soft-focus effect that visually enhances volume without looking overdrawn. Perfect for a natural, effortless lip definition.
Step 4 – Eyeshadow Palette & Eye Pencil
Apply soft matte eyeshadows in neutral tones to the eyelids to subtly contour and enhance the eye shape. Define the upper or lower lash line with a brown eye pencil, blending slightly for a diffused, natural look that adds depth without harshness.
Step 5 – Brow Soap
Gently brush your brows upward using a clear brow styling soap. This sets the brows in place and lifts them for a clean, polished, and natural finish — with no added color or heaviness. A minimalist touch for maximum effect.

Fuller Lips

The “Fuller Lips” technique is a simple and effective way to create the illusion of fuller lips – adding definition and volume without harsh contouring.
By gently playing with light and shadow, this method enhances the lips’ natural shape and softness, while keeping the finish subtle and authentic.
The result? Luscious, naturally beautiful lips with a refined, elegant touch.

Steps:
Step 1 – Lip Pencil
Begin by defining key points of the lips using a cool-toned, creamy lip pencil. Focus on areas where natural shadows fall, such as the cupid’s bow and the center of the lower lip. Lightly blend the edges to create a subtle ombré effect that visually enhances lip volume and depth.
Step 2 – Lip Liner
Outline the entire lip contour using a lip liner in a shade close to your natural lip color. This step refines the shape, enhances definition, and creates a soft, natural-looking base — perfect for layering with other lip products while maintaining a balanced, everyday finish.
Step 3 – Lipstick
Fill in the lips with a creamy lipstick enriched with nourishing ingredients like vitamin E or shea butter. The formula provides hydration, softness, and a lightly glossy sheen, leaving the lips smooth, plump, and effortlessly sensual.

Perfect Eyeliner

A perfect eyeliner doesn't have to be bold or dramatic. Sometimes the best results come from a subtle definition right at the lash line – a technique that lifts and shapes the eye without overpowering it.
Val Garland’s Perfect Eyeliner technique is all about delicate enhancement – lightweight, natural, and ultra-precise.
To create this look, Val uses the iconic AMC Eyeliner Gel 77 – an intensely black, waterproof gel with a creamy texture and long-wearing finish.
It offers maximum control and precision, even when applying the finest lines – perfect for a clean, modern eye look that fits any occasion.

Steps:
Step 1 – AMC Eyeliner Gel 77 & Makeup Brush 31T
Start with a precise application using AMC Eyeliner Gel 77. Its smooth, blendable texture offers effortless glide and control.
Use the angled Makeup Brush 31T to pick up a small amount of product – and wipe off the excess for a clean line without overload.
Step 2 – Application Technique
Place the brush as close as possible to the lash roots – the goal is for the line to blend into the lashes.
Start at the center of the upper lash line and work outward using smooth, steady strokes.
This technique softly lifts the outer corners and defines the eye without the need for heavy makeup.

Contour Edit

Contouring, according to Val Garland, is a perfect balance of precision and simplicity – enhancing facial features without heaviness.
Her Contour Edit technique delivers a refined and sculpted effect using just two key products: a lifting eye concealer with peptides and a cream bronzer stick.
Together, they create a harmonious contrast of light and shadow that subtly defines the face.
This minimal, intuitive approach enhances cheekbones and adds natural depth to the facial structure – beautifully soft, effortlessly polished.

Steps:
Step 1 – Concealer
Apply a light-reflecting concealer under the eyes and along the tops of the cheekbones to brighten the face and visually open up the eye area. Choose a lightweight formula that subtly enhances bone structure while adding a natural glow to the complexion.
Step 2 – Cream Bronzer Stick
Use a cream bronzer to define the face by applying it in areas where natural shadows fall — beneath the cheekbones, along the jawline, and around the temples. Blend thoroughly into the skin, allowing the bronzer and concealer to merge seamlessly. This technique softens contours and delivers a natural, sculpted look.
