THE
READY-IN-TEN
TUTORIAL
INSTANT COMPLEXION PERFECTOR
To begin, conceal, even, and brighten the complexion in one step. Dab a generous amount of
Nars Radiance Creamy Concealer on skin immediately after applying moisturizer (this will help blend and lightly dilute the product). Concentrate on the under-eyes, on and around the nose, the chin, and in the center of the forehead. Smooth with your ring finger to evenly disperse the product, then pat into skin until blended.
Time Check: 1 minute and 30 seconds.
BROW DISTINCTION IN MINUTES
To create a full, refined brow simply comb brow hairs down and sketch
Hourglass’ Arch Sculpting Pencil in short,
downward strokes along the natural arch (this defines the shape of the brows). Then brush hairs up, and fill-in the bottom of the brows using short,
upward strokes (this evens the brows). Brush through once more to soften the color.
Time Check: 2 minutes.
UNIVERSALLY FLATTERING
Force a smile, then using your middle and ring fingers, dab
M.A.C.’s Cream Colour Base in Premeditated directly onto the center of the apple of each cheek. Blend and press the color into the cheeks with your fingers, then lightly feather it towards the temples to diffuse the color slightly. Next, dab more product directly onto clean lips, blot with a tissue or blotting paper, then add one more coat of color. (For a dose of hydration, top with balm or gloss once in transit, if desired.)
Time check: 1 minute.
EYE OPENER
Curl lashes (optional) and apply a single coat of
Serge Lutens Comb Mascara to the top lashes.
Time Check: 30 seconds, 20 more including the curl.
PONYTAIL POLISH
Gently detangle hair using
Yves Durif’s Comb, then flip head over and mist roots with
Sachajuan’s Volume Powder; this adds thickness to the hair overall and soaks up unwanted oil. Flip hair back over and generously spritz more product through the mid-lengths of hair.
Time Check: 3 minutes, max.
EASY SECURITY
Lean your head back and finger comb hair into a high ponytail. It should not be perfectly smooth – small imperfections will give the final effect texture. Tightly secure with a
Blax Hair Elastics 2MM in Black. Next, spray the entire ponytail with more Sachajuan’s Volume Powder and fluff with your fingers. To finish, smooth the ends of hair by holding the mid-lengths of the pony and gently combing ends until smooth (holding it will prevent the elastic from becoming loose).
Time check: 2 minutes.
