Night before

Double cleanse and apply a rich barrier-repair moisturiser. This look photographs bare skin texture — dry patches will show through the light-coverage base. Use Vaseline or a thick night cream on lips overnight so the gloss sits smooth.

Professional step-by-step

1Skin Prep: Hydrating primer — press into skin with fingertips, wait 5 min
2Base: Light-coverage liquid foundation — stipple with damp sponge, build only where needed
3Concealer: Creamy under-eye concealer — pat with ring finger in triangular shape under eyes
4Eyes: Light champagne shadow on lid; medium olive in crease; dark brown-black in outer V — blend with fluffy brush in circular motions
5Lashes: Individual lash clusters or lengthening mascara — apply to top lash line only, wiggle at base and pull upward
6Brows: Taupe/brown brow pencil — fill gaps with short hair-like strokes, brush up with spoolie
7Blush: Terracotta-coral powder blush — smile, apply on the apple, sweep upward toward temple with a large fluffy brush
8Lip: Warm terracotta gloss — apply to centre of lips first, press together, then fill outer corners last

Core details

Sit facing a large window with the light source to your left or right — this is the lighting in this image

Background: Two-tone teal and deep green background — a large circle on a darker field. This cool green background creates chromatic contrast with the warm earth tones of the makeup, making the terracotta lip and blush visually pop. Studio setting with seamless paper background.

Influence: Lisa Eldridge — Popularised the "blush before foundation" technique that creates the flushed-from-within effect in this image
