What you need
Steps
Wash your face and pat it dry. Apply a thin layer of moisturizer and wait a minute so it sinks in before any makeup goes on.
Dot foundation or tinted moisturizer on your forehead, cheeks and chin. Blend it outward with a damp sponge or your fingers until the edges fade into your skin.
Put a small amount of concealer under your eyes and on any spots. Tap it in gently with your ring finger or a sponge.
Dust a light layer of setting powder over your T-zone and under your eyes. This keeps shine down and helps makeup last.
Fill in your brows with short, light strokes of a pencil that matches your hair. Brush them through with a spoolie or your finger.
Sweep a neutral eyeshadow over your lid with a fluffy brush. Keep it close to your lash line for a natural look.
Rest your elbow on a table so your hand stays steady. Start the eyeliner at the outer corner and draw small dashes along the upper lash line, then connect them.
Wiggle the mascara wand at the base of your upper lashes and sweep up. Do one coat on the lower lashes if you want more definition.
Smile and tap blush onto the apples of your cheeks, blending up toward your temples. Finish with lip balm or lipstick.
Tips and common mistakes
Keep eyeliner close to the lash line and thin at first, since you can always add more but removing it takes longer.
Use a light hand with powder and blush, because a little goes a long way and heavy layers can look cakey.
Wash your brushes and sponges every week or two to avoid breakouts and buildup.
Do a patch test on your inner arm before trying a new product if your skin is sensitive.
Questions
What if my eyeliner looks shaky?
Rest your elbow on a table and draw short dashes instead of one long line. You can tidy the edge with a cotton swab dipped in a little makeup remover.
Do I need expensive products to start?
No. A few basic drugstore items work fine for a beginner routine. Focus on shades that match your skin and hair.
How long does this routine take?
About 10 to 15 minutes once you have practiced a few times. You can skip steps like eyeshadow for an even quicker look.
