What you need
Steps
Start with clean, moisturised skin. Apply a tinted moisturiser or CC cream all over your face with your fingers or a damp sponge, blending down to your neck.
Dot concealer under your eyes and on any redness or blemishes. Tap it in with a damp beauty sponge so it melts into the base.
Lightly dust setting powder over your T-zone and under the eyes. Keep it thin so the skin still looks fresh.
Sweep blush onto the apples of your cheeks and blend up towards your temples with a soft brush.
Apply bronzer to the outer edges of your face, jawline and temples with a fluffy brush. Build it slowly for a natural warmth.
Fill in your brows with a fine pencil, using short strokes in the direction of the hair.
Coat your top and bottom lashes with mascara. Wiggle the wand at the roots to lift the lashes.
Line your lips with a nude lip liner and blend it slightly inward. Finish with a light mist of setting spray.
Tips and common mistakes
Use a damp beauty sponge for the base so it looks skin-like rather than heavy.
Apply cream products before powder if you want blush and bronzer to blend more easily.
Keep your everyday kit to a few multitasking products so the routine really stays under five minutes.
Build powder and bronzer in thin layers, since it is harder to fix an overdone face than to add more.
Questions
Do I need all the products listed?
No. A tinted moisturiser, concealer, brow pencil and mascara are enough for a basic look. Add blush, bronzer and powder when you have a little more time.
Can I do this routine with powder blush instead of cream?
Yes. Apply powder blush after your setting powder and use a light hand. Cream blush goes on before powder so it blends into the base.
How do I stop the base from looking cakey?
Use a damp sponge, thin layers and only powder where you get shiny. A setting spray at the end helps the products settle into the skin.
