What you need
Steps
Start with clean, moisturised skin. Apply a thin layer of primer and let it set for a minute so your base grips and lasts longer.
Apply foundation or a tinted moisturiser with a damp sponge, starting in the centre of your face and blending outward. Keep the coverage light so skin still shows through.
Dot concealer under the eyes and on any redness, then tap it in with your ring finger. Set only the areas that crease with a light dusting of powder.
Sweep warm bronzer along your cheekbones, temples, hairline and jaw. Use a light hand and build in thin layers for a sun-kissed, toasty finish.
Tap peach or terracotta blush onto the apples of your cheeks and blend it up toward the bronzer. Keep the colour close to your natural flush.
Sweep a neutral brown shadow across the lid and a slightly deeper brown into the crease. Blend the edges with a clean brush so there are no hard lines.
Line the upper lash line with brown eyeliner and smudge it slightly with a small brush. Brown keeps the dark feminine edge soft and natural.
Curl your lashes and apply one or two coats of mascara. Comb through with a clean spoolie to separate lashes and avoid clumps.
Outline your lips with a warm nude liner, then fill in with lipstick or gloss. Blot once and reapply for a soft, lived-in finish.
Tips and common mistakes
Apply bronzer in natural daylight so you can see how warm it really looks.
Blend every powder edge with a clean brush to keep the look soft rather than patchy.
Use a lighter hand on the eyes than you think you need, since brown shades deepen once blended.
Questions
Do I need expensive products for this look?
No. Any warm bronzer, neutral brown shadow and brown eyeliner will work. Focus on blending rather than on brand.
Will this look too heavy for daytime?
Keep the base light and skip a dark lip. The warm bronzer and soft brown eyes read natural in daylight.
What skin tones does toasty makeup suit?
Warm bronzer and peach blush flatter most tones. Pick a bronzer one or two shades deeper than your skin, not orange.
