The “Just Woke Up” Dewy Dream (5 minutes):

This is all about enhancing your natural beauty with minimal effort. Perfect for those lazy Sunday mornings or a quick coffee run.

• Eyes: A swipe of clear brow gel to tame those bedhead brows and a single coat of your favorite mascara.
• Lips: A nourishing lip balm for a soft, pillowy pout.

The Vibe: Effortlessly fresh, like you woke up looking this good (and hey, maybe you did!).

The “Brunch Babe” Brightening Boost (10 minutes):

Stepping out for mimosas and avocado toast? Let’s dial up the radiance a notch!

• Skin: Your tinted moisturizer, plus a touch of creamy concealer under the eyes and on any redness. A dab of cream blush on the apples of your cheeks for a healthy flush.
• Eyes: A wash of a soft, shimmery eyeshadow (think champagne or a light peach) all over the lid. A second coat of mascara.
• Lips: A swipe of a tinted lip balm or a your-lips-but-better nude lipstick.

The Vibe: Polished yet relaxed, ready for sunshine and good company.

The “Day Date Darling” Defined Look (15 minutes):

Time for a little romance to bloom? Let’s add some subtle definition and warmth.

• Skin: Your base, plus a touch of liquid highlighter on your cheekbones and the bridge of your nose. A hint of bronzer along your hairline and under your cheekbones for subtle sculpting.
• Eyes: The shimmery shadow, plus a thin line of brown liquid liner along the upper lash line. Two coats of mascara. Groomed brows filled in lightly with a pencil.
• Lips: A soft rosy lipstick or a berry-toned lip stain.

The Vibe: Sweet, subtly alluring, and ready for a little springtime magic.

The “Golden Hour Goddess” Glam (20 minutes):

Heading out for dinner as the sun dips low and casts that gorgeous golden light? Let’s amp up the glow!

• Skin: Your perfected base, strategically placed liquid highlighter, and a touch of powder bronzer for a more defined contour.
• Eyes: A blend of warm-toned eyeshadows (think golds, bronzes, and warm browns), winged liner, and a generous two coats of volumizing mascara. Maybe even a few individual lashes for extra drama!
• Lips: A richer lipstick shade – think a terracotta nude or a berry with a hint of shimmer.

The Vibe: Radiant, confident, and absolutely captivating under that golden light.
