Step 1: Begin with a Hydrating Cleanse and Prep
Dry skin needs calm care to work as a smooth base. Use a cleansing balm that also works as a mild scrub. Rub it into dry skin for about one minute. When you add water, the balm turns milky and sweeps away dead skin.
Pro tip: When you lack running water, spray a bit of facial water into your hands. Let the spray mix with the balm as you massage your face.
Step 2: Moisturize and Add a Glow with Your Foundation Mix
Dry skin wins with good moisture. Mix one or two drops of facial oil into your foundation before you put it on your face. This mix gives wetness and a soft glow that feels fresh.
• Foundation note: Pick a formula that lifts and adds a natural shine.
• Shade tip: Find a match close to your neck and chest color.
• Shade fix: If the edges look too light, dab a cream bronzer where the sun touches—forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin.
Step 3: Correct and Brighten the Eye Area
A cool toned look needs bright and even skin under the eyes. Use a peach corrector to cover dark blue or purple hints. Tap gently so the color stays where you need it.
Next, dab on a concealer that hides imperfections and lifts your under-eye area. Start with a brush and smooth out with a sponge until the skin feels even.
Setting tip: Instead of brushing loose powder, press a bit of setting powder with a flat brush under your eyes. Use little powder on the face because smooth dry skin works best with light coverage.
Step 4: Pick a Natural, Muted Blush
Choose a blush that adds a soft pop of color without taking over the look. Light pinks or peachy-nudes work well to bring a little color without stealing the show.
Step 5: Keep Brows Bold but Simple
If your brows are full, let them stay as they are. A clear gel helps shape them gently. The eyes stand out most in this style.
Step 6: Form the Smoky Gray Eye
Now comes the cool eye look.
• Base: Mix a black and white cream pigment to form a gray base.
• Layer: Place a cool gray powder on top of the cream. The close color mix hides any warm hints.
• Blend: Smooth the edges up and out to soften the line.
• Highlight: A touch of white or light gray in the inner corner can lift the eyes and add a bit of shine.
You can choose cream or liquid pigment for the base, then build on it with powder. This short link of colors makes a deep, rich look.
Step 7: End with a Cool Toned Nude Lip
Pair the smoky eyes with a nude lip in cool tones. Think of a soft beige with a hint of mauve or pink. This choice keeps the style balanced and true.
