How I Recreate It in Under 15 Minutes

Start with a hydrating primer, especially around the nose and forehead, because navy can make any shine look extra obvious.

I blend a medium-coverage foundation with a damp sponge, then set only the T-zone with powder.

The rest stays fresh and luminous.

For the eyes, I use a taupe transition shade, a deeper navy or charcoal in the outer V.

And a champagne shimmer on the lid.

Curl your lashes and add two coats of waterproof mascara.

Prom night gets emotional, and you don’t want streaks.
