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.
step 1
Start by defining key points of the lips using Colour Play Lipliner 353 – a cool-toned, creamy pencil that blends effortlessly and doesn't dry too quickly. Gently define the cupid’s bow and the center of the lower lip, where shadows naturally fall. Soften the outline by blending lightly to create a subtle ombré effect that adds volume and depth.
step 2
Next, use Soft Precision Lipliner 76 in a shade close to your natural lip color. Carefully outline the entire lip shape, staying within the natural line. This step defines and enhances the lip contours while maintaining a soft, natural appearance – a perfect base for your lipstick.
step 3
Fill in the lips with Kiss Catcher Lipstick 920 – a creamy formula enriched with nourishing ingredients like vitamin E and shea butter. It delivers softness, hydration, and a comfortable feel, leaving the lips smooth, plump, and subtly glossy – naturally sensual and effortlessly beautiful.
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.
step 1
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.
Apply Peptide Lifting Eye Concealer 204 under the eyes and along the tops of the cheekbones to open up the eyes and brighten the face. This lightweight, light-reflecting formula enhances the bone structure and brings radiance to the complexion.
step 2
Apply Cream Stick Bronzer 112 to areas where shadows naturally fall: beneath the cheekbones, along the jawline, and around the temples. Blend well to seamlessly merge the bronzer with the concealer – both products should melt into one another to create a soft, sculpted effect with a natural finish.
