How I Recreate It in Under 15 Minutes
Start with a hydrating primer, then a medium-coverage foundation buffed in with a damp sponge.
Focus on the T-zone to keep shine at bay.
I always set with a translucent powder before adding any cream products, so everything melts together.
Next, I’d do a soft wash of rose-gold shadow on the lids, a thin liner, and lots of mascara.
Finish with a cream blush tapped high on the apples of your cheeks and a gloss that’s not sticky.
You’ll be dancing all night.
