The Steps

Step by Step

01
Prep with Sunscreen and Primer
Before heading out, apply an adequate amount of sunscreen evenly all over the face, then follow with a thin layer of hydrating primer. Gently press and blend it into areas prone to caking, such as the nose wings and under-eye area, to create a smooth base for subsequent makeup.
Pro tipWait until the sunscreen sets completely before moving to the next step to avoid pilling.
02
Apply Sheer Base Makeup
Take a small amount of dewy cushion foundation, use a puff to gently pat it from the center of the face outward. Apply a thin layer all over the face to preserve the skin's natural glow; avoid trying to cover every single imperfection.
Pro tipBuild the coverage in thin layers to prevent a heavy, mask-like finish.
03
Conceal and Set Select Areas
Use your fingertips to dab a small amount of concealer on redness, dark under-eye circles, and nose wings. Gently blend the edges. Then, use a loose powder brush to pick up a small amount of translucent setting powder, tap off the excess, and lightly dust it only on the T-zone to set the makeup while keeping the cheek's natural glow.
Pro tipMake sure to tap off all excess powder to avoid turning the whole look matte.
04
Natural Soft Matte Brows
Use a light brown eyebrow pencil to fill in gaps along the natural hair growth direction, and softly draw a gentle arch at the tail of the brow. Then, brush through with brow mascara along the hair flow to match your brow color to your hair color. Avoid drawing stiff, straight, thick brows.
Pro tipUse a light hand at the brow head to prevent overly dark color.
05
Apply Milk Coffee Eyeshadow
Use a large, fluffy eyeshadow brush to pick up the low-saturation almond milk coffee shade. Tap off the excess, then blend it upward from the lash line to the eye socket. Apply a thin layer to both the upper and lower lids, blending the edges thoroughly to avoid harsh color blocks.
Pro tipAlways tap off excess product to prevent overly pigmented, muddy color.
06
Subtle Deepening at Outer Corner
Use a small detail brush to pick up a slightly deeper light brown milk coffee shade. Gently blend it only on the outer third of the eye, slightly extending outward along the eye shape. Add a little to the outer half of the lower lash line to create natural depth.
Pro tipDo not extend the deepening past the middle of the eye socket to avoid a muddy look.
07
Fill in Inner Eyeliner
Use a brown eyeliner pencil to fill in the gaps between the upper lash line bit by bit. There is no need to extend or flick the tail upward; just draw a natural 2mm straight tail to make your eyes look soft and defined.
Pro tipBeginners should opt for brown eyeliner, which looks more natural than black.
08
Curl Lashes and Apply Mascara
First, curl your lashes in three sections from the root, middle, and outer corner using an eyelash curler. Then, apply a thin layer of brown mascara from root to tip. Lightly coat the lower lashes to avoid clumpy, spidery lashes.
Pro tipImmediately brush through any clumps with a clean brow spoolie after applying mascara.
09
Light Nose Contour
Use a small contour brush to pick up a gray-toned light brown contour powder. Tap off the excess, then lightly dust it along the outer edges of the nose bridge. Add just a touch at the tip of the nose. Do not draw two straight lines at the nasal bridge; keep it subtle enough that others cannot tell you are wearing nose contour.
Pro tipThe lighter the nose contour, the more natural it looks. It is better to build it up in layers than to apply too much product at once.
10
Sheer Highlighter
Use your fingers to take a small amount of pearlescent white fine-shimmer highlighter. Gently dab it on the high points of the cheekbones, brow bones, and tip of the nose. Blend it into the skin; do not apply large patches of glitter. It should look like a natural glow coming from within the skin.
Pro tipOnly dab highlighter on the high points of the face to avoid making pores look prominent.
11
Milk Apricot Blush
Use a fluffy blush brush to pick up the low-saturation milk apricot blush. Tap off the excess, then lightly dust it on the apple of the cheek, blending upward toward the temples. Blend it naturally with the surrounding base makeup to create a healthy flush that looks like it comes from your skin.
Pro tipDo not apply blush above the horizontal line of the nose wings to avoid a droopy face look.
12
Finish with Nude Lip Color
First, apply a layer of lip balm as a base, blot off excess oil with a tissue. Then, apply a thin layer of milk tea nude lip mud, blending the edges with your fingertips to create a soft matte natural lip look. Finally, spritz setting spray all over the face to make the makeup last longer and look more seamless.
Pro tipBlending out the lip edges creates a more atmospheric vibe.
