Photographer Mei Tao is such a natural beauty and I loved creating this healthy, glowy look for her. It’s subtle, natural, and perfect for everyday. Here’s how to get Mei’s look:

Face

I started by making sure Mei’s skin was hydrated. I used Light Moisture Cream and Eye Cream to moisturize her skin and create a base for applying her makeup. Then I used Face Pencils under her eyes and on any spots that needed to be covered or brightened up. I always like to mix a few shades together to get the most natural look.

To give her cheeks some color, I added Miracle Balm in Bronze and Tawny to her cheeks. These two shades work really well together to add warmth and dewiness.

Eyes

Next up, I filled in her brows using The Brow Pencil in Dark Brunette. I used light strokes to fill in and create definition. The pencils have tiny hairlike fibers, which add dimension and fullness to brows.

On her lids, I started with The Best Shadow in Smokey Grey. I applied it across her eyelids using the Eye Fluffy Brush, which helps keep the color really even. On top, I patted in Sparkle Wash in Midas to give her a touch of shimmer. Then I lined her eyes, both the upper and lower lash lines, using The Best Pencil in Black. I finished up with two coats of The Mascara.

Lips

On Mei’s lips, I kept it really simple and added Miracle Balm in Tawny. It leaves behind a really natural flush and keeps lips hydrated.
