Now that you have all of your supplies laid out and in front of you, it is time to begin. Make sure to follow each step carefully in order to achieve a great Liz Taylor look.

Prepare your skin with Moisturizer. Wait for it to dry completely.

Use concealer sparingly and only if and where it is needed.

Set your face with translucent face powder.

An oval shape is made with a medium sized powder brush with dark brown metallic eye crème shadow. Cover your eyelid and crease though only go a little onto the brow bone, and cover slightly under the eye as well.

A thick line of black liquid eyeliner is applied to the top lash line and then lightly to the bottom lash line.

Glue on a full set of false lashes, curl the top lashes and add two coats of black mascara.

Outline your lips in a dark flesh toned lip pencil with a reddish tint to it. If you don't have full lips like Liz Taylor draw them in now. Fill in your lines with a basic but bright red crème lip color. Blot your lips then reapply the lip color.

Draw in the signature Elizabeth Taylor look using a dark brown eye brow pencil. Liz had thick and strong brows at the beginning and they came to a point in the middle then they tapered down and smaller to the ends.

Using a large blush brush, seep on a light dusting of soft pink powder blush.

Optional: Draw Elizabeth Taylor's beauty mark on with a black liquid eye liner pencil. He mark was about midway between lips and nose and in the middle of her cheek.
