Ready to reveal your pure glow? So let’s dissect this supersonic routine to get at the simple steps.
Step 1: Flawless-ish Complexion (Approx. 1.5 minutes)
Forget heavy foundations. After tone, we are looking for even tone and a glow that looks like skin — if better.
The Base: Go for a tinted moisturizer, BB cream or a light coverage foundation. These formulas are a sheer veil of color that will even out your skin tone, while allowing natural texture to peak through. Use just a little wherever you need it (usually the center of your face and/or T-zone), then blend out with your fingertips or a damp beauty sponge.

Pat onto the skin lightly using your ring finger, and blend gently, creating a seamless effect.
Product Picks:

It’s loaded with skincare benefits, it boasts a radiant dewy finish and it gives light natural coverage. For a bit more of a traditional vibe, Saie Slip Tint Dewy Tinted Moisturizer SPF 35 is another great for getting that hydrated, glowy look.
Concealer: There’s a reason the NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer is a classic – it has full coverage, and doesn’t settle into fine lines. If you’re looking for an super natural, skin-like finish Glossier stretch concealer is a great pick.

Restore some life to your face with a natural flush that appears as if you’ve just come in from a brisk walk.
The Product: Cream blushes or liquid bashes are where yah wanna be! They diffuse seamlessly on the skin, giving the most natural, dewy flush you just can’t get from a powder blush.
Application: Smile a little to locate the apples of cheeks. Pat on a bit of creamy or liquidy rouge over the apples, and then press (or sponge) lightly to blend and direct the color up toward your temples. Choose a soft peach, rose or berry shade to emulate your natural flushed.

Third step: Define the eyes discreetly (approx. 1.5 minutes)
Give your eyes that pop without appearing like you’re doing too much.
Lashes: Begin with an eyelash curler. Then put on a light, one-coat layer of brown mascara. Brownish-black mascara offers the definition and length of blackened, without feeling too intense or heavy. It’s a subtle opener for your eyes and gives the appearance of making you look more vibrant and awake.
Brows: “It frames your face! Run a tinted brow gel through your eyebrows in the direction they grow. This lends a hint of colour, helps to fill in patchy bits and keeps your brows in place so they look groomed and defined.

Step 4: Hydrated, Tinted Lips (1 Min) Keep your lips soft but not prominent – Shutterstock Just apply a sheer lipstick and it will build the consistency of your lip color. 0.5 minutes)
The finishing touch to complete the look, adding a subtle colour and moisture.
The Product: A tinted lip balm or a creamy, neutral lipstick works beautifully. They are not only moisturizing, but they add a subtle hint of color to your natural lip shade.
How to use: Apply directly to your lips. No precise lining required here! Go for a color that’s similar to your own lip shade, just slightly amped up — scrollover soft nudes, mauves and berry hues.

This will marry all of the layers you have put on (no one’s pores should show their makeup), take away any powderyness, and give you skin a beautiful natural glow.
