This is our go-to look for work, errands and weekends: it takes ten minutes and works on every skin tone.
1. Even out your skin (2 minutes)
Skip heavy foundation. A skin tint evens tone while letting your skin show through. Tap on a little liquid highlighter on the high points of your cheeks.

2. Add warmth (1 minute)
Smile, then sweep a peachy blush from the apples of your cheeks up toward your temples.

The rosy glow of windows-down, singing-along happy.
3. Define your eyes (5 minutes)
Use a light matte shade all over the lid, a medium shade in the crease, and a shimmer in the center. Finish with two coats of mascara.
