How I Recreate It in Under 15 Minutes

Start with a hydrating primer to create a smooth canvas, then apply a lightweight, buildable foundation using that damp sponge trick.

I always set the T-zone with a loose powder.

But leave the rest of the face untouched so it stays luminous and fresh.

For the eyes, I use a soft wash of champagne or rose-gold shadow, a thin line of brown gel liner.

And lots of mascara no heavy lashes, just fluttery ones.

Finish with a cream blush in a soft pink or peach.

And a rose-toned lip balm for that effortless, ethereal finish.
