How I Recreate It in Under 15 Minutes
In my kit, I prep with a hydrating mist and a light primer, then I dot the foundation from the center of the face outward using a damp sponge.
I press, not swipe, to build coverage only where needed.
Usually the cheeks and chin and let the natural texture show through.
For prom, I’ll set just the T-zone with a translucent powder and leave the rest bare.
So the glow stays alive.
A quick spritz of setting spray at the end locks it in without disturbing the finish.
And you’re ready to dance the night away.
