How I Recreate It in Under 15 Minutes

Start with a clean, moisturized face.

I always use a lightweight gel moisturizer to prep.

Then, I apply a sheer tinted moisturizer or just a color-correcting primer to even out any redness, blending with my fingers for a no-makeup look.

Next, I define the brows with a tinted gel, add a swipe of clear mascara to tame any wild lashes.

And finish with a tinted lip balm.

For the hair, I use a matte clay to style it into place, then set everything with a fine mist so it stays put through dinner and dancing.

And final studio checklist.
