What you need

Steps

  1. Wash your face with a gentle cleanser and pat dry. Apply a thin layer of moisturiser and let it sink in for a minute so makeup sits smoothly.

  2. Pick a foundation or BB cream close to your skin tone. Dot a small amount on your forehead, cheeks and chin, then blend outward with a damp sponge.

  3. Check your jawline in a mirror. Blend any visible edges down the neck so there is no line between face and neck.

  4. Put a tiny dot of concealer on blemishes, redness or dark circles. Tap it in with your fingertip or sponge instead of rubbing.

  5. Dust a light layer of translucent powder over the T-zone. This keeps shine down and helps the base last through the day.

  6. Brush your brows upward with a clear or tinted brow gel. Fill any sparse spots with light strokes if you want more definition.

  7. Apply a plain lip balm to keep lips from looking dry. Skip colour unless you want a subtle tint.

  8. Step back from the mirror and check in natural light. Blend any patchy areas and remove excess product with a clean tissue.

Tips and common mistakes

Start with less product and build up slowly, since heavy layers look cakey.

Match foundation to your jawline in daylight, not store lighting.

Wash your sponge or brush weekly to avoid breakouts.

Set only the oily areas so the rest of your face keeps a natural finish.

Questions

Will people notice I am wearing makeup?

With a light base and matched shade, most people will not notice. The goal is even skin, not full coverage.

Do I need a brush or can I use my fingers?

Fingers work for concealer and light foundation. A damp sponge gives a smoother, more even finish.

How do I remove it at night?

Use a cleanser or micellar water and rinse well. Sleeping in makeup can clog pores.
