The Steps

Step by Step

01
Prep & Hydrate
After cleansing, apply a thin layer of moisturizing primer. For oily areas like the T-zone, spot-apply an oil-control primer. Don't forget to apply enough sunscreen before heading out, and wait until it sets before moving on to base makeup.
Pro tipIf you have dry skin, add extra moisturizing primer on the cheeks for a smoother base.
02
Dewy, Sheer Base
Take a small amount of cushion foundation and blend it gently all over the face with a damp sponge. Conceal blemishes and redness with a bit of concealer, then lightly press loose powder onto the T-zone to set — keep the cheeks dewy.
Pro tipDon't apply too much foundation; a thin layer lets your natural skin texture shine through.
03
Soft, Natural Brows
Fill in sparse areas with a light brown brow pencil, following your natural hair growth. Blend the front of the brows with a spoolie brush to avoid harsh outlines, then use brow mascara to brush them into a soft, natural, feathery look.
04
Orange-Brown Sunset Eyeshadow
First, apply a light orange-brown eyeshadow all over the eyelid. Then, use a deeper orange-brown to deepen the outer corner and the outer third of the lower lash line. Finally, tap a little shimmer in the center of the lid and blend everything until there are no harsh lines.
05
Soft Brown Eyeliner
Use a brown kohl pencil to draw tightline along the upper lash line. Extend a tiny, slightly upturned tail about 3mm at the outer corner — don't make it too thick or too dark. Only trace the outer third of the lower lash line.
Pro tipBrown eyeliner is softer than black and pairs beautifully with orange-toned eye makeup.
06
Natural, Voluminous Lashes
Curl your upper lashes in three sections, then apply a thin coat of brown mascara. Lightly coat the lower lashes as well — avoid clumpy spidery lashes.
07
Soft Nose Contour
Take a gray-toned contour powder, tap off the excess, and lightly sweep along the sides of the nose from the inner corner to the tip. Blend well — don't leave harsh lines on the front of the nose bridge.
08
Face Contouring
Use the leftover product on the brush to lightly sweep under the cheekbones and along the jawline. Softly blend along the hairline to make the facial contours look softer — avoid obvious dark streaks.
09
Dewy, Natural Highlighter
Apply a fine champagne highlighter lightly on the high points of the cheeks, the middle of the nose bridge, brow bones, and the tip of the nose. Avoid chunky glitter — keep it subtle and dewy.
Pro tipDon't apply highlighter too broadly, or it might look oily.
10
Key Sunburn Blush
Take a peach-orange blush and sweep it diagonally from the apple of the cheek up to the temple. Then lightly dust it across the middle of the nose bridge to create a natural sun-kissed flush. Blend until the color is seamless with no harsh edges.
Pro tipBuild the color slowly in small layers — avoid going overboard and looking like you have a bright red rash.
11
Matte Orange-Red Lips
Start with a layer of lip balm, blot off the excess oil with a tissue, then dot an orange-red lip mud on the inner part of the lips. Blend it outwards with your finger to the lip edge for a soft gradient lip effect.
12
Soft-Setting Finish
Spray a hydrating setting mist from about 20cm away from your face. Gently fan it dry to help all the makeup blend naturally, keeping the overall dewy, dreamy vibe.
