Step 1: Apply a light to medium coverage foundation, then use a liquid concealer under your eyes.



Step 2: For a natural-looking glow, apply a sheer cream blush to the apples of your cheeks using your fingers. If you’re trying to look younger, apply a highlighter (like Eye M Glam Highlighter, $35) on the inner corners of your eyes and across your cheekbones.



Step 3: Define your eyes by curling lashes and applying one to two coats of mascara.



Step 4: Add a pop of color to your lips by using a lipstain (try Benefit Benetint, $28) and applying a lip balm or sheer lipstick over it. Skip dark or bright colors and lipgloss — all of them say “sexy,” not “professional.”



Step 5: Finish with a bit of translucent loose powder to set your look.
