Skin prep
Start here, while skin is clean and calm: gentle cleansing, light hydration, and sun protection help makeup sit smoothly and keep the glow looking fresh.
I start with this when I want a calm, clean base. It is a gentle, pH-balanced wash that cleanses without leaving skin feeling stripped.

I finish prep with this invisible layer. It is an invisible, broad-spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen.

Base and glow
Build the luminous base in thin layers: even out, brighten where light naturally falls, then add a soft flush and a touch of highlight.
I choose this first for an even, luminous base. It is a makeup-skincare hybrid foundation with medium, buildable coverage and a natural, radiant finish.
Nars Light Reflecting Foundation
I use this next to brighten and tidy the areas I want to look rested. It is a creamy concealer that brightens, corrects, and perfects with medium-to-high buildable coverage and a radiant finish.

I add this where I want light to catch, for a soft, lit-from-within glow. It is a silky, second-skin liquid highlighter that creates a lasting, lit-from-within glow.

I use a small amount of this for a soft, healthy flush on the cheeks. It is a long-lasting liquid blush that blends and builds beautifully for a soft, healthy flush.

I finish the base with a light dusting of this to soften the glow. It is a universal finishing powder that captures, diffuses, and softens surrounding light.

Eyes
Keep the eyes soft and luminous: blend warm neutrals, define gently, then open the look with length and a tidy brow.
I reach for this first for soft, blendable color. It is an eyeshadow palette with warm neutrals for a soft glam eye look.
Soft Glam Eyeshadow Palette - Anastasia Beverly Hills
I use this for a soft, defined lash line. It is a waterproof eyeliner pencil that glides on smoothly.

I finish the lashes with this for an open, wide-awake look. It is a lengthening and volumizing mascara.

I use this last for a tidy, natural brow shape. It is a waterproof eyebrow pencil with a micro-precision tip for fine definition.

Lips
Finish with lips that tie the glow together: define the shape softly, add a comfortable wash of color, then top with shine.
I start the lips with this in Pillow Talk for a soft, defined shape. It is a long-lasting, waterproof lip liner.
Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat Lip Liner
I follow the liner with this in Pillow Talk for a soft, matte wash of color. It is a matte lipstick with a long-lasting, buildable, hydrating formula.
