How I Recreate It in Under 15 Minutes
Start with a hydrating primer, then apply a light-coverage foundation only where you need it.
Center of the face, around the nose and blend outward with a damp sponge.
Set with a translucent powder under the eyes and along the nose.
But skip the cheeks to keep that natural glow.
For eyes, sweep a soft brown through the crease and a champagne shimmer on the lid, then tightline with a brown pencil for definition without harshness.
Finish with a brow gel to brush hairs upward, a swipe of mascara.
And a creamy nude lip blot once for that lived-in, chic stain.
