Steps
Wash your face and pat on a light moisturizer. Let it sink in for a minute so later products glide on instead of pilling.
Brush your brows upward with brow gel to lock the hairs in place. Fill any sparse spots with a fine brow pencil in short, light strokes.
Smooth a thin layer of primer over your face, focusing on the center where makeup tends to fade first.
Dot concealer under your eyes and on any spots, then blend with a damp brush or your fingers. Build in thin layers rather than one heavy coat.
Press loose setting powder under your eyes and on oily areas with a powder puff. Roll the puff instead of sweeping so the concealer stays put.
Sweep powder foundation over the rest of your face with a fluffy brush. Use light circular motions for even, natural coverage.
Tap powder blush onto the apples of your cheeks and blend up toward your temples. Keep the color soft for daytime.
Coat your lashes with mascara from root to tip. Wiggle the wand at the base to separate lashes and avoid clumps.
Finish with a layer of lip gloss, then mist setting spray over your face from about 8 inches away and let it dry.
Tips and common mistakes
Use powder products in summer so makeup holds up better in heat and humidity.
Apply concealer in thin layers, since thick coats crease under the eyes.
Keep your brushes clean so powder goes on evenly and does not look patchy.
Test any new product on a small area of skin first if you have sensitive skin.
Questions
Can I do this routine if I have oily skin?
Yes. The powder foundation, setting powder and setting spray help control shine. Skip heavy creams and reapply powder on your T-zone if needed.
Do I need all these products?
No. Moisturizer, concealer, powder and mascara alone give a finished look. Add blush and gloss when you have a little more time.
How do I stop concealer from creasing?
Use a thin layer and set it right away with loose powder. Press the powder in with a puff instead of brushing it on.
