How I Recreate It in Under 15 Minutes
Start with a clean, moisturized face.
I apply a primer that blurs pores, then a lightweight foundation or tinted moisturizer with a damp sponge, building coverage only where needed.
Set with a translucent powder in the T-zone to prevent shine, but leave the cheeks dewy.
For the eyes, I use a creamy brown pencil on the upper lash line and smudge it slightly for softness.
Curl the lashes and add one coat of mascara—enough to open the eyes without looking heavy.
Finish with a tinted lip balm and a quick spritz of setting spray.
