The Steps

Step by Step

01
Prep with Hydrating Primer
After cleansing, apply a hydrating primer and blend it evenly across the face until fully absorbed. Layer an oil-controlling primer on the T-zone to create a smooth, long-lasting base.
02
Sheer Glowy Base
Take a small amount of cushion foundation and blend it into the skin with a damp makeup sponge, focusing on covering redness and blemishes. Lightly sweep over the center of the face to keep the look naturally luminous.
Pro tipBuild coverage in thin layers to avoid a heavy, mask-like finish.
03
Spot Conceal and Set
Use a small concealer brush to dab concealer onto dark circles and redness around the nose, then blend. Lightly dust a small amount of setting powder only on the T-zone to set, while keeping the cheeks dewy.
04
Soft Brown Feathery Brows
Fill in sparse areas with a light brown brow pencil, following your natural hair growth. Extend the tail softly without making it sharp, then brush upward with clear brow gel to achieve a fluffy, natural brow look.
05
Warm Brown Matte Eyeshadow Base
Sweep a light milky brown eyeshadow across the entire eyelid. Tap off excess product from the brush and blend the edges to reduce puffiness for a soft, natural wash of color.
06
Deepen Outer Corner to Reduce Puffiness
Take a deeper reddish-brown eyeshadow and blend it into the outer V area and the outer third of the lower lash line, blending until there are no harsh edges.
07
Fill in Inner Liner
Use a brown kohl pencil to fill in the gaps between your upper lash roots. Extend the line slightly by 2mm at the outer corner, keeping it thin for a soft, natural look.
08
Natural Volumized Lashes
Curl lashes in sections first, then apply a thin coat of brown mascara to both upper and lower lashes, avoiding clumps or spidery lashes.
09
Soft Nose Contour
Use a gray-brown contour powder to shade along the sides of the nose from the inner corner to the tip. Lightly sweep under the cheekbones and along the jawline, blending well for a natural effect.
10
Subtle Highlighter
Dot a champagne shimmer highlighter onto the bridge of the nose, tip of the nose, brow bone, and the high point of the cheeks, then blend with fingertips for a natural, understated glow.
11
Creamy Apricot Blush
Sweep a milky apricot blush onto the apples of the cheeks, blending upward toward the temples to seamlessly connect with your contour for a healthy, flushed look.
12
Maple Leaf Soft Matte Lips
Apply lip balm first, blot off excess oil, then layer a thin coat of maple-red brown lip mud. Use your finger to blend out the edges for a soft, matte finish.
13
Setting Spray for Longevity
Hold a hydrating setting spray 20cm from your face and mist evenly. Pat gently until absorbed to lock in makeup while keeping a natural dewy finish.
