What you need

Steps

  1. Wash your face and pat it dry, then apply a light moisturizer so makeup glides on smoothly.

  2. Dot tinted moisturizer or light foundation over your forehead, cheeks and chin, then blend it out with clean fingers or a damp sponge.

  3. Tap concealer under your eyes and over any spots, then pat it in gently with your ring finger.

  4. Smile and dab cream blush onto the apples of your cheeks, blending up toward your temples for a natural flush.

  5. Curl your lashes if you have a curler, then sweep one or two coats of mascara from root to tip.

  6. Finish with a tinted lip balm or lipstick, pressing it on with your fingertip for a soft wash of color.

  7. Check your blending in a mirror and soften any harsh edges with a clean finger.

Tips and common mistakes

Apply concealer after foundation so you use less product and avoid a cakey look.

Cream products blend best with warm fingertips, so skip brushes if you are in a hurry.

Keep the same five products in one small bag so your routine stays quick every morning.

Questions

Do I need brushes for this look?

No. Clean fingers work well for cream and liquid products, and a damp sponge helps blend foundation evenly.

Can I use this routine if I have oily skin?

Yes, but choose a mattifying tinted moisturizer and set your T-zone with a light dusting of powder if you have it.

What if I only have three of the five products?

You can still get a fresh look. Foundation, mascara and lip color make the biggest difference, so start with those.
