1. Protect your skin and apply foundation
First, make sure your skin is hydrated with moisturizer and protected with sunscreen.
Then, use a lightweight, skin-like foundation for a natural look.
For sheer coverage, apply your foundation with your fingers.
For more coverage, use a brush or sponge.
2. Conceal and brighten
Use a hydrating concealer under your eyes and on areas with redness.
Apply with a damp beauty blender to blend seamlessly without looking cakey.
3. Set your base
Lightly set your eyelids and brows with translucent powder to reduce oiliness.
4. Define your brows
Fill in your brows using a precise brow pen.
Brush through and set with a clear gel or powder.
5. Create a simple eye look
Use a stick eyeshadow all over your lid for quick application, and blend it in.
Add a pop of shimmer on the center of your lids and inner corners.
For extra definition, blend a bronzer shade into your crease.
6. Eyeliner and lashes
Apply a brown eyeliner to define your lash line.
Curl your lashes.
Apply your mascara, but start with your lower lashes to prevent transfer.
Skip falsies for a more natural look, and to save time.
7. Add warmth and dimension
Apply a cream-to-powder bronzer to contour your face.
Use a synthetic brush to blend seamlessly, especially when using a cream product.
Add blush to the back half of your cheeks for a lifted appearance.
8. Set strategically
Use a powder puff to set areas prone to oiliness, leaving the cheeks with a natural glow.
9. Natural lips
Apply a tinted lip balm for a soft, hydrated look.
