Let's Begin!
1 .prime and moisturise your face BUT if you want this look to be longwear DON'T moisturise your face 
2 .Apply your foundation with your fingers (if you are comfortable with the brush ok but remember when you apply the liquid foundation with your hands ,heat will make the product thinner and help during the application
3 .if your skin is perfect (something veeeery rare)just apply evenly pressed powder you know the clear one and then conseal and highlight
4 .sooo let's continue with the fun parts.With an application brush apply all around your eyelid a warm pinky color to create a canvas then apply at the corner of your crease some grey and brown color whatever you like!But press it in and upwoards so that you creat a royal yet chic and strict efffect(just like the picture by DOLCE&GABBANA fashion show2012
Warm your look with a tinny amount of gold eyeshadow at your teardots and in the middle of your lid
5 .Define your eyebrows:use some eyebrow fix gel you can found it everywhere even in H&M and brush your eyebrows so that they look fuller and bigger!Before that fill in your brows with an eyebrow pencil or better an eyeshadow 3 shades lighter than your haircolor!Fuller eyebrows make you look younger ...
6. contour and blush:contour your face ,chinand forehead with some bronzing powder  to create this thinner effect nad warmer even though we want this cold Snow queen face!
apply pink blush at your cheekbones while you are smiling .Remember it gets a while to be familiar with the contouring technique so don't give up!!
7 .curle your eyelashes and apply dark black mascara!!
8 .line your lips with lipliner in a shade close to your natural lipshade and APPLY YOUR DARK LIPSTICK (any dark shade would be ok..you should look for  one that looks best on your skin )
with a lipbrush because you have to be very careful .apply a tissue over your lips and with a brush apply over this powder !To set your lipstick for hours!
FINISHED!!
