How I Recreate It in Under 15 Minutes
I start by prepping the skin with a hydrating primer, then apply a thin layer of soft-matte foundation using a damp sponge, building only where needed.
I set the T-zone with a light powder.
But leave the cheeks and temples dewy with a cream highlighter tapped on with my ring finger.
For the eyes, I sweep a neutral taupe through the crease and a champagne shimmer on the lid, then finish with two coats of volumizing mascara.
A rosy nude lip and a swipe of clear gloss tie it all together.
Simple, but it photographs beautifully.
