2 foundation + mascara
THE LOOK: NATURAL AND BARE-FACED
Let your skin shine through, but make it dewier and more even-toned. Since lashes are a great camouflage for tired eyes, apply a few coats of mascara to add definition.

3 foundation + mascara + lip gloss
THE LOOK: JUICY, PRETTY LIPS
If you don’t want to go full-on with a bold lipstick, a glassy lip is a wearable work look. A soft, baby pink like Dior’s Stellar Gloss in #765 Ultradior is shiny enough to stand out and add fullness, yet sheer enough to be work-appropriate. Makeup artist Grego, who did the looks here, paired it with a luminous matte skin finish. Tip: For even more subtle shine, apply lip gloss to the middle of your bottom lip and rub your lips together.

5 foundation + brow makeup + mascara + blusher + lip gloss
THE LOOK: A MONOCHROMATIC FLUSH
This looks takes a little more time, but makes a great day-to-night look. “Adding blusher will transform and add glow to the face,” says Grego. For something a little softer and romantic, try a red lipstick or mauve gloss.

THE LOOK: THE WELL-LOVED CAT EYE
Start by creating a dewy canvas for makeup – Supergoop!’s Glowscreen doubles as a makeup-gripping primer. For effortless winged tips, use a black liquid liner with a super-precise tip and smudge-proof formula. Top off with a bold lip to brighten the face.

THE LOOK: FULL-ON METALLIC EYES
Metallic eyeshadow is what you want when you need a dressier look. Build as you go until you reach the intensity you’re looking for. Keep the attention on the eyes, and use a soft and neutral tawny shade on the lips. Tip: a light glittery eyeshadow on the inner eye corners will make you look really wide awake.
