The key to giving the illusion that you have just spent the afternoon living your best life at a spa is to ensure you use very little makeup – but the right kind. Stay away from powders and opt for cream or liquid formulas. Blending from the T-zone outward to the cheeks will cover most imperfections and ensure you look makeup-free.
