Step 1: Prep Your Skin for a Radiant Base
Good skin needs care. Use a hydrating serum like Clarins Double Serum. It firms skin and smooths texture. Press it gently with your fingers on the skin. Focus on spots that need extra care. This method helps makeup go on smoothly and last longer while adding a soft glow.
Pro Tips:
- Apply with your fingertips instead of rubbing.
- Cover your neck and chest to keep your finish even.
Step 2: Achieve That ‘Skin-But-Better’ Foundation Look
For foundation, try Laura Mercier Real Flawless Foundation. Use a brush to cover large areas. Then, press the product in with a damp sponge. Your freckles and natural texture can still show. The finish stays fresh without looking heavy.
Pro Tips:
- Use a light touch on the center and build up on spots.
- Press with a sponge so the edges blend well.
Step 3: Brighten and Conceal Under Eyes with Precision
Laura Mercier Real Flawless Concealer helps brighten dark circles. Place a small amount with a fine brush under your eyes and near the inner corners. Blend gently with your sponge. This two-part method gives light coverage that feels airy.
Pro Tips:
- Apply little by little to keep creases at bay.
- Set under your eyes with a little Laura Mercier Rose Loose Setting Powder by pressing lightly. Its soft pink color helps lift the area.
Step 4: Create Subtle Warmth With a Custom Liquid Bronzer
Mix a slightly darker concealer with some foundation. Use a fluffy brush to apply this mix on your cheekbones, forehead, and jawline. Blend in small circles. Then, press with your sponge to merge the products into your skin for a soft, sunlit glow.
Pro Tips:
- This mix builds a gentle warmth.
- Blend carefully to keep edges smooth.
Step 5: Set Your Makeup for All-Day Wear
Dust a thin coat of Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder. Use the clear shade on your face and the rose-hued powder under your eyes. Each powder has its part. The rose tone adds lift while the clear one holds the foundation close to its natural shade.
Pro Tips:
- Use light pressure so the skin stays fresh.
- Press the powder slowly—swiping can disturb your work.
Step 6: Add Warmth with a Flawless Blush
Laura Mercier Blush Color Infusion in Rose gives a gentle flush. Its matte finish means it will not reveal texture. Apply on the apples of your cheeks to lift your look. The blush works with the warmth of your bronzer to keep the look balanced.
Pro Tips:
- Smile as you apply so the right spots appear.
- Build the color with layers for a natural look.
Step 7: Perfect Your Brows for a Polished Frame
Your brows frame your face. Fill them in with light, thin strokes. Use Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Definer in a tone close to your hair. Brush your brows with a spoolie to spot thin areas. Then fill those in with care. Finish by using Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze gel to set hairs without a stiff feel.
Pro Tips:
- Keep most of the product on the outer brow for a soft front.
- Use gentle pressure to avoid hard lines.
Step 8: Effortless Smoky Eyes Made Easy
For the eyes, use Laura Mercier Caviar Eyeshadow Stick in Café Noir. Glide the stick over the outer half of your upper lid. Then soften and blend the edge with a fluffy brush. This method gives you a soft, smoky look quickly without extra steps.
Pro Tips:
- Blend before the product dries.
- For more depth, add a small amount along the lash line with a brush.
Final Thoughts
This fall look mixes a natural glow with soft warmth. Layer your makeup with care and blend well. Use products that show your true beauty without covering it. Makeup is a way to show who you are, so adjust the steps to match your style.
