How I Recreate It in Under 15 Minutes
I start with a hydrating primer, then apply a medium-coverage foundation with a damp sponge, building up only where needed.
I set everything with a translucent powder, focusing on the center of the face, then mist with a setting spray to melt it all together.
For the eyes, I use a soft transition shade, deepen the outer corner.
And add a shimmer to the lid keeping it blended and diffused.
Finish with a wispy lash and a creamy blush.
And you’re ready to dance the night away.
