1. **Matte foundation**: Apply a thin layer with a damp sponge, pressing it in from the center of your face outward. _Tip: Thin layers last longer than one thick one._
2. **Concealer**: Dot under your eyes and around the sides of your nose, then tap to blend. _Tip: Less is more. You can always add a second dot._
3. **Setting powder**: Press a little translucent powder on your forehead, nose and chin with a puff or fluffy brush. _Tip: Press, don’t swipe, so your base stays smooth._
4. **Bronzer**: Sweep it softly under your cheekbones, from near your ear toward your mouth, and a little on your temples. _Tip: Stop at about the middle of your eye. Blend until there is no line._
5. **Matte blush**: Swirl a fluffy brush in powder blush, tap off the extra and sweep it on your cheeks toward your temples. _Tip: Blend upward, never down. It lifts the whole face._
6. **Brows**: Fill any gaps with light hair-like strokes, then brush through. _Tip: Keep the front of the brow softer than the tail._
7. **Eyeshadow**: Sweep one soft neutral shade across your lid with a fluffy brush. Finish with mascara. _Tip: Tap off extra powder from the brush first._
8. **Matte lipstick**: Apply from the center outward, blot on a tissue, then add a second thin layer. _Tip: Two thin layers with a blot in between last for hours._
