Step 1: Prep Your Skin with Lightweight Hydration

Good makeup happens on clean skin. Start with a light moisturizer. For oily skin, choose a cream that does not feel greasy. The Tatcha Water Cream is one choice. It feels light and sinks fast into the skin. Use a small bit and pat it into your face. This builds a soft, wet base that does not block your makeup.

Tip: If your skin feels oily, skip heavy creams. Use thin formulas that keep your skin balanced.

Step 2: Customize Your Foundation for a Perfect Undertone

Mix your foundation to get the right shade. The artist mixes Mario Badescu Skin Foundation with a red-toned color corrector from Huda Beauty. This mix helps if your skin has warm, rosy tones. It also works if the sun has changed your skin tone.

How to do it:
• Mix a small amount on your hand.
• Use a brush to apply and blend well.

This step brings a natural warmth and smooth finish without buying a new foundation.

Step 3: Sculpt and Define with Cream Contour

Add shape with a cream contour stick. In this guide, we use the Makeup By Mario Soft Sculpt Shaping Stick in Medium Dark. Press the stick along the forehead line, cheekbones, and jawline. Press the product into the skin. Do not drag the brush. Let the cream warm up and blend with your skin.

Then, use a damp makeup sponge to watch the blend. This gives you a soft finish that feels like your own skin while adding neat shape.

Step 4: Brighten Under Eyes with Concealer

Pick a concealer that lifts and brightens your eyes. The Natasha Denona High Glam Concealer in shade N9 works well. Apply it in a triangle shape under your eyes. Extend it toward the nose bridge and the temples.

Blending tips:
• Use a beauty sponge to smooth the mix.
• Set with a translucent powder like One/Siz Translucent Setting Powder.
• Press the powder with a puff. This keeps the area bright and light until the end of day.

Step 5: Add Flushed, Radiant Cheeks with Multi-Use Blush

The Patrick Ta Beauty blush shade “She’s Blushing” does two jobs. It works as both blush and bronzer. Apply it on the front of your cheeks for a sun-warmed glow. Add a bit on the hollows to create soft shadows.

Pro tip: Lightly set areas such as the jawline with the same translucent powder. This keeps your contour in place longer.

Step 6: Shape Natural-Looking Brows

Your brows shape your face. Brush the brow hairs down to find sparse spots. Use a brow pencil like Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz in Medium Brown to fill these spots. Brush again to soften the marks.

Finish with a clear brow gel such as Benefit’s Clear Brow Gel. This holds brow hairs in place and gives a neat, natural style.

Step 7: Create a Sophisticated Smoky Eye with a Pop of Color

For the eyes, use the Urban Decay Naked Cherry palette to build a soft smoky look. Though the palette is not made now, you can get similar colors elsewhere.

• Base: Brush a light peach tone over the lid.
• Outer corners: Use a cranberry tone to add depth.
• Lower lash line: Blend cranberry and brown tones.
• Lash line: Apply a dark, cool brown with an angled brush. This works like a gentle liner.

Tip: A dual-ended brush aids in blending. One end is fluffy for softening, the other is dense to pack color. Both help you create a smooth gradient.

Final Touch: Glossy Rose-Toned Lips

Give your lips a glossy rose tint. This ties every piece together. The glow on your lips adds a soft shine that finishes your overall look.
