How I Recreate It in Under 15 Minutes

Start with a hydrating primer and a light layer of foundation, then set only the T-zone with powder.

I use a fluffy brush to buff a warm neutral shadow into the crease, then a slightly deeper shade on the outer corner.

This gives depth without heaviness.

For the cheeks, I smile and apply a cream blush in a C-shape from the apples toward the temples, then blend with a damp sponge.

Finish with a coat of volumizing mascara and a tinted balm on the lips.

It’s a 15-minute routine that feels effortless and stays put through a long day of fittings or events.
