Step 1: Prime
Product: Laura Mercier Hydrating Canvas Primer
How to Use: Squeeze a pea-sized amount of primer onto your fingertips. Apply it evenly over your face, focusing on areas where makeup tends to fade quickly, such as your T-zone and cheeks. This primer hydrates the skin, creating a smooth and even base for foundation application.

Step 4: Concealer
Product: Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer

Step 5: Cream Bronzer
Product: Fenty Beauty Cheeks Out Cream Bronzer
How to Use: Using a bronzer brush or your fingers, apply the bronzer to the perimeter of your forehead, under your cheekbones, along your jawline, and a bit on your eyelids and the tip of your nose. Blend well for a natural sun-kissed look. Avoid placing too much product on the base of your nose to prevent making it look larger.

Step 7: Setting Powder
Product: Givenchy Prisme Libre Powder
How to Use: Using a triangle powder puff, pick up a small amount of powder and press it into the skin starting from the sides of your nose to the outer corner of your eye. Pat gently to set your makeup without baking. Use a fluffy brush to dust any remaining powder lightly over the rest of your face for an even finish.

Step 10: Fake Freckles
Product: Painted Palette (brown eyeshadow for freckles)

Step 11: Setting Spray
Product: Hourglass Veil Soft Focus Setting Spray

Step 13: Eyeliner

Step 14: Mascara
Product: Hourglass Mascara
