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.
