What you need

Steps

  1. Start with clean, moisturized skin. Apply a broad sunscreen and let it set for a few minutes so later layers do not pill or slide.

  2. Dot a tinted moisturizer or light foundation over your face. Blend it with a damp sponge, pressing rather than rubbing, so skin still looks like skin.

  3. Tap concealer only where you need it, such as under the eyes or on spots. Pat it in with your ring finger or the sponge.

  4. Smile and dab cream blush on the apples of your cheeks. Blend up toward your temples with your fingers for a soft flush.

  5. Brush your brows upward with brow gel, or fill sparse spots with light pencil strokes. Keep the shape natural.

  6. Curl your lashes and apply one thin coat of mascara. Wiggle the wand from the roots to avoid clumps.

  7. Add a tinted lip balm or sheer lip tint. Press it on with your fingertip for a soft, just-bitten color.

  8. Finish with a light setting powder only on oily areas like the T-zone. Leave the cheeks and high points dewy.

Tips and common mistakes

Use less product than you think you need and build up slowly.

Warm cream blush on the back of your hand first so it blends easily.

Skip heavy powder all over the face if you want the dewy clean girl finish.

Wash your sponge and brushes often to avoid breakouts.

Questions

Do I need expensive products for this look?

No. A tinted moisturizer, concealer, cream blush, brow gel, mascara and lip balm cover it. Drugstore versions work fine.

How do I stop the look from looking cakey?

Use thin layers and blend each one fully before adding the next. Keep powder to the oily areas only.

Can I do this look without foundation?

Yes. Concealer on spots and under the eyes plus blush and lip tint gives a fresh look on bare skin.
