Your step-by-step guide

Make a little time for you.

01 · Start with a little less

Let your usual skincare settle. Apply a thin layer of base only where you want to even the appearance of your skin. Blend at the jaw and hairline in daylight.

02 · Bring back some color

Tap a small amount of blush onto the cheeks and blend the edges. Build slowly until the shade shows clearly on your skin; deeper skin tones may suit a more saturated rose.

03 · Define softly

Work a brown pencil close to the upper lashes, then soften the edge with a small brush. Add mascara using the product’s instructions.

04 · Finish with rose

Press lipstick onto the lips for a soft edge, or choose a tinted balm. Step away from the mirror and check the balance of cheek and lip color.

Make it your own
For drier or textured skin, try thinner layers and reserve powder for areas that need it. Choose the blush depth that shows up beautifully on your complexion.
