Prep Your Skin

• Start with a gentle cleanser to clean your face. I love the soap-free Neutrogena cleanser, which keeps your skin’s pH balanced.

• Apply a lightweight moisturizer followed by sunscreen (minimum SPF 30).

• Finish with a primer to smooth out your skin and create the perfect base for makeup.

Apply Lightweight Foundation or Tinted Moisturizer

• Use a light layer of foundation with a dewy finish, like the Maybelline Fit Me Dewy Foundation.

• Alternatively, try a BB cream or tinted moisturizer for a “no-makeup” makeup vibe.

• Blend with a damp beauty sponge for a seamless finish.

Conceal Strategically

• Dab a small amount of concealer under your eyes and on blemishes.

• Blend well to keep it light and natural—less is more here.

Set with Translucent Powder

• Use a translucent loose powder to set your foundation and concealer.

• Avoid adding too much to maintain a fresh, natural look.

Add Cream Blush

• Apply a cream blush to your cheeks and lightly on the bridge of your nose.

• Bonus: Use the same blush as lipstick or even eyeshadow for a quick monochromatic look.

Bronzer, Highlighter, and Mascara

• Lightly dust a bronzer one to two shades darker than your skin tone to add warmth and subtle contour.

• Add a touch of highlighter on your cheekbones for a youthful glow.

• Curl your lashes and apply a light coat of mascara for defined but natural eyes.

• Use a tinted brow gel to define your eyebrows quickly. Fill in sparse areas lightly with powder or a pencil if needed.

Brows and Lips

• Swipe on a nude lipstick or your cream blush, and finish with a clear gloss for a polished touch.
