How I Recreate It in Under 15 Minutes
Start with a hydrating primer, then a medium-coverage foundation to even out skin without hiding your natural glow.
I use a damp sponge to press it in—this gives that ‘skin but better’ finish that won’t fight your outfit.
For the eyes, I do a soft taupe wash on the lid, a tight line of black liner.
And two coats of volumizing mascara.
Finish with a cream blush on the apples of your cheeks and that red lip.
Apply with a brush for precision, then blot and reapply once.
