What you need
Steps
Cleanse your face, then apply a light moisturiser and a layer of sunscreen. Let each layer settle for a moment before moving on.
Press a tinted serum or tinted moisturiser over your face with your fingers or a brush. Use a thin layer and build only where you want more coverage.
Dot concealer under the eyes and on any spots. Tap it in with a small brush or fingertip and avoid dragging the skin.
Brush a tinted brow gel through your brows, then use a fine brow pen to draw short strokes in any sparse gaps.
Tap a cream or serum blush onto the apples of your cheeks and blend it up and outward toward your temples.
Dust a small amount of translucent powder only where you get shine, such as the T-zone. Keep the cheeks and outer face unpowdered for glow.
Curl your lashes, then apply one or two coats of mascara from root to tip.
Tightline your upper lash line with a black kajal pencil, working it between the lashes rather than above them.
Swipe lip oil over your lips for a soft tint and shine. Add a little glow drop or highlighter to the cheekbones if you want extra radiance.
Mist setting spray over your face to blend the layers and help the makeup last.
Tips and common mistakes
Use thin layers of tinted skincare and concealer so product does not settle into fine lines.
Keep powder off the cheeks and outer face to avoid a dry, flat look.
Tightline only the upper lash line to make lashes look fuller without a heavy eyeliner look.
Choose a creamy concealer and tap it in gently, since dragging under the eyes can crease the skin.
Questions
Can I skip sunscreen if my tinted product has SPF?
It is safer to apply a dedicated sunscreen first. Tinted products usually do not give enough coverage on their own.
What if I do not have a brow pen?
A tinted brow gel alone will still tidy and fill the brows. Add a matte eyeshadow in a matching shade with an angled brush for extra fullness.
Will this routine work on dry skin?
Yes, as long as you moisturise well first. Skip the powder step or use it only on the T-zone if your skin feels tight.
