Your step-by-step product routine
Use them in this order for the best, longest-lasting result.
- 1
Prep & prime. Moisturise, let it sink in, then a pea of primer (elf Power Grip) to grip makeup and blur pores.
- 2
Base. Apply foundation (Estée Lauder Double Wear) with a damp sponge, sheer where you can, building only where you need it.
- 3
Conceal & set. Spot-conceal (Tarte Shape Tape) under the eyes and on blemishes, then set just those areas with a little powder.
- 4
Eyes. Prime the lid, blend eyeshadow (ABH Soft Glam) light-to-dark into the outer corner, line (Stila) and finish with mascara (Maybelline Sky High).
- 5
Brows. Fill with hair-like strokes and brush up with a gel — do brows before cheeks so they frame the face.
- 6
Cheeks. Cream blush (Rare Beauty) on the apples up toward the temple, then highlighter (Charlotte Tilbury) on the high points.
- 7
Lips. Line and lightly fill the whole lip, then your lipstick (MAC) — the liner doubles as a stain as colour fades.
- 8
Lock it. Finish with a setting spray (Urban Decay All Nighter) to melt the powders together for a skin-like, all-day finish.
Pro tips
- Warm cream products on the back of your hand so they melt into skin.
- Line and fill the whole lip so it stays as a stain when colour fades.
- Cream then powder bronzer layers for a longer-lasting glow.
- Do your eyes first if you're prone to fallout, then clean up underneath.
