How I Recreate It in Under 15 Minutes
Start with a hydrating primer, then build a medium-coverage foundation that lets your natural skin peek through.
I always set the T-zone with powder but leave the cheeks and temples dewy.
It photographs beautifully against city lights.
For the eyes, I use a fluffy brush to blend a warm bronze into the crease, then a pencil liner smudged along the lash line for soft definition.
Finish with a coat of volumizing mascara and a cream blush swept high on the cheekbones.
It’s quick, foolproof, and takes under 15 minutes.
