Quick Fixes

All of these take under 2 minutes with what's already on your face. Don't wipe anything off — layer and blend.

Blush looks way too intense or clown-like

Dust a translucent setting powder (or even plain face powder) directly over the blush using a large fluffy brush — this sheers it out instantly without removing it

Free30 seconds

Eyeshadow has fallen under your eye (fallout)

Wait for the fallout to dry fully (2 minutes), then flick it off with a clean dry brush using a downward stroke — do not rub or it smears into the undereye

Free1 minute

Lip colour has bled outside the lip line

Take a cotton swab with a tiny amount of concealer and draw a clean line just outside the bleed — this redefines the edge without starting over

Free2 minutes

Makeup looks flat and dull in photos

Pinch a tiny amount of highlighter (or even an eyeshadow in a champagne/gold shade) and press it only onto the highest point of the cheekbone and the Cupid's bow — this reads as glow on camera

Highlighter or gold eyeshadow2 minutes

Foundation is looking cakey or patchy mid-day

Lightly mist your face with a setting spray or even plain water, then press (do not rub) with a clean sponge or your fingertip — this reactivates and re-melds the foundation into skin

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
