To begin, mix a dab of moisturizer into Koh Gen Do Maifanshi Aqua Foundation on the back of your hand before applying to skin with a damp sponge. This provides a sheer base that lets skin show through. Then cover any lingering imperfections with Kevyn Aucoin’s Sensual Skin Enhancer with a small brush.

To lightly contour the face, dust the Westman Atelier Beauty Butter Powder Bronzer under the hollows of the cheekbones, along the jawline and on the forehead. This gives skin definition and warmth without appearing overly made up. Then, sweep the Westman Atelier Super Loaded Tinted Highlighter, a sheer peachy hue, onto the apples of cheeks.

Lightly groom brows by brushing them up with a spooly brush and filling in only where needed with the MAC Shape + Shade Brow Tint. The trick is to use short strokes that mimic the length of real hairs.

For a naturally smoky effect, slowly layer various neutral shades on the eyelids. Use a taupe hue to define the crease and layer a shimmery tan on top (both in the MAC Art Library: Nude Model), then build the desired intensity with a warm, coppery brown (Charlotte Tilbury Luxury Palette in Pillow Talk). Curl lashes and apply two coats of Serge Lutens Cils Cellophane Mascara in Black.

Dab RMS Beauty Magic Luminizer directly onto skin and blend with your fingers in a C shape: Begin under the arch of the eyebrow, swoop around the outside of the eye and end on the top of the cheekbones. Use your finger to dab the highlighter into the inner corners of the eyes and on the inner portion of the eyelid for a bright-eyed look.

To finish, apply By Terry’s Baume de Rose to hydrate lips and add a light, healthy sheen. (If you require a lip color Violet says Charlotte Tilbury's Superstar Lips in Pillow Talk glossy lipstick delivers a sheer wash of rosy pink to lips.)
