How I Recreate It in Under 15 Minutes
I start by prepping with a hydrating primer, then apply a thin layer of satin foundation with a damp sponge, building only where needed.
Next, I blend a cream blush on the apples of the cheeks and a subtle bronzer along the temples for that sun-kissed, old-money structure.
I set with a light powder, curl lashes.
And finish with a sheer, balmy lipstick in a rosewood shade.
