In Part 3 of our guide to masquerade ball, let’s talk hands-on technique.

How I Recreate It in Under 15 Minutes
Start with a hydrating primer, then a medium-coverage foundation buffed in with a damp sponge.
This gives you that ‘my skin but better’ canvas.
I always set the T-zone with powder but leave the cheeks dewy, so you get that lit-from-within glow.
For the eyes, I use a cream shadow base, then layer a matte transition shade and a shimmer on the lid.
Finish with a winged liner that’s slightly thicker at the outer corner.
It elongates the eye and pairs perfectly with a mask.
I never skip a waterproof mascara; tears of joy happen!
