How I Recreate It in Under 15 Minutes

Start with a hydrating primer, then apply a light-coverage foundation only where you need it.

I use a damp sponge to press it in for that ‘skin but better’ finish.

Set your T-zone with powder.

But leave your cheekbones and the bridge of your nose bare so they catch the light naturally.

For the eyes, I’d do a wash of champagne shimmer on the lid, a soft brown in the crease, and one coat of mascara.

Finish with a cream blush in a poppy shade, applied with your fingers for a just-pinched look.

And a swipe of cherry-tinted lip balm easy, fresh, and ready for a full day of events.
