Step 1: Prep with Hydrating Dewy Skin Cream

Start with clean, well-prepared skin. Use the Tatcha Dewy Skin Cream if your skin is dry. This cream soaks in fast. It works with your skin to form a smooth, glowing base so makeup sticks well without looking flaky.

Tip: Put a small amount on your clean skin. Press it gently to hold in moisture and bring out the glow.

Step 2: Color Correct Conservatively

Fix areas with uneven skin tone such as under the eyes or near the mouth by tapping a peach-toned corrector like the Natasha Denona Corrector in C4. Keep the correction light. The idea here is to add just a touch so that your skin can look even with the help of foundation and concealer.

Tip: Blend lightly. A little goes a long way.

Step 3: Foundation for a Seamless Base

Use the House Labs Triclone Skintech Foundation in 300 Medium Neutral. Press two pumps onto your face with a brush. Soften the edges with a damp makeup sponge until your face gets a skin-like look.

Pro Insight: Many good foundations came out in 2024. Favorites at the Sephora sale include One Size’s Turn Up The Base and Patrick Ta’s formula. Mix and match to find your own perfect fit.

Step 4: Creative Bronzing with Concealer

Try using a deeper shade of your creamy concealer like House Labs Concealer in Medium Deep Neutral as a liquid bronzer. Draw this shade along your forehead edge and beneath your cheekbones. This trick warms your face and shapes light and shadow without extra products.

Why it works: Cream concealers mix well and give a natural warmth to your skin.

Step 5: Brighten and Conceal

Lighten your under-eye area with a brightening concealer such as the Natasha Denona High Glam Concealer in P4. Dab gently and blend to hide dark spots while giving your eyes a fresh look.

Tip: This concealer is a favorite. Try it during the Sephora event if you want a new must-have.

Step 6: Set with Translucent Powder and Foundation Powder

Keep your base in place by spraying a light coat of One/Siz Translucent Setting Powder. Dust with Make Up For Ever HD Skin Foundation Powder over your cheeks and forehead for a calm, matte finish.

Pro Tip: Pair powders that have different finishes for a look that stays natural and refined.

Step 7: Amplify the Bronze and Add a Flush of Color

Mix a powder bronzer like Fenty Sunstalker Bronzer in Eyland Ting on top of your liquid bronze layer to add more warmth. On your cheeks, tap a blush like Patrick Ta Blush Duo in She the Moment to give a soft hint of color. Use a single product if you prefer fewer steps.

Remember: One product can work well if you keep it simple.

Step 8: Define Brows Softly

Shape your brows by brushing them with a light brow gel such as Rafie Brow Sculpt Gel. Then, fill soft spots with Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Powder Duo in Ebony, focusing on the outer part of your brow to keep a natural style.

Beauty Insight: Clients often pick brow products that suit their usual look. A light hand works best to show off your natural shape.

Step 9: Simple, Smoky Eye Shadow

Use two matte eyeshadows from the Makeup by Mario Ethereal Eyes Palette. Paint a light shade on your inner corner and a neutral brown at the outer corner. A black matte shadow along your lash line forms a gentle wing without extra steps.

Less is More: Skip extra primers or shades. The simplicity gives you a clean, quick look.

Step 10: Add Holiday Sparkle

No festive look is complete without a small hint of glitter. Lightly tap a glittery color from the same palette on the center of your lids. This step adds a bit of holiday cheer that lifts an otherwise calm look.

Step 11: Perfect Lashes

Use Benefit Bad Gal Bang Waterproof Mascara to lift, define, and hold your lashes. Then, add wispy false lashes from Velour for extra flair.

Pro Tip: Waterproof mascara works best on special nights to keep your lashes neat and curled.

Step 12: Bold Matte Lips (Final Touch)

Finish with your favorite bold matte red lip. This classic choice mixes well with the satin finish on your skin and the simple smoky eyes.
