How I Recreate It in Under 15 Minutes
Start with a hydrating primer, then apply a light foundation with a damp sponge for a dewy base.
I use a cool-toned contour to define the cheekbones, then blend a pearl highlighter from the tops of the cheeks up to the temples.
For the eyes, I pack a shimmery aqua shade on the lid, blend a deeper navy into the crease.
And line the waterline with a white pencil to open up the eyes.
Finish with two coats of waterproof mascara and a clear gloss.
It takes about 15 minutes total.
