What you need
Steps
Start with clean skin and apply a hydrating moisturiser. Let it sink in for a minute so the base sits smoothly and stays glowy.
Apply a lightweight foundation or tinted moisturiser with a damp sponge. Use thin layers and build only where you need coverage.
Dab concealer under the eyes and on any redness, then blend with your ring finger or sponge. Keep it light to avoid a cakey look.
Tap a cream or liquid blush onto the apples of your cheeks and blend upward toward your temples. Cream formulas melt into skin for a natural flush.
Add a small amount of highlighter or glow balm to the tops of your cheekbones and the bridge of your nose. Blend the edges so it looks like skin.
Brush your brows upward with brow gel to set the hairs in place. Fill any sparse spots with light strokes of a pencil if needed.
Curl your lashes and apply one or two coats of mascara. Focus on the outer lashes for a soft, open-eye effect.
Finish with a lip tint or tinted balm in a soft pink or peach. Press it in with your finger for a natural, blurred edge.
Tips and common mistakes
Use a damp sponge and thin layers to keep the base looking like skin.
Cream products blend best with warm fingers, so skip brushes for blush and highlighter.
Set only the areas that crease, like under the eyes, to keep the glow elsewhere.
Clean your sponge and brushes regularly to avoid breakouts.
Questions
Do I need expensive products for this look?
No. A simple moisturiser, light base, cream blush and lip tint cover most of the look. Use what you already own and focus on thin layers.
How do I stop the glow from looking greasy?
Keep highlighter on the cheekbones and nose only, and lightly powder the T-zone. Cream products blended well look like skin, not shine.
Can I wear this look to work?
Yes. It is a light, natural look that suits everyday wear. Skip the highlighter or use less if you want a more matte finish.
