Flawless Face and Bold lip
If you only have two minutes to do your makeup, a strong lip is the way to go. But, the key is to have flawless looking skin (since it will be so bare). Here's how to get the look:
Step 1: Flawless skin can be achieved with the right skin care regimen and products. Start by washing your face with a gentle cleanser like Garnier Moisture Rescue Fresh Cleansing Foam, $5.99 every morning. Then follow it with a lightweight moisturizer that contains SPF to protect from harmful UV rays like Garnier Moisture Rescue Lightweight UV-Lotion SPF 15, $7.99. Give the lotion a chance to set in your skin before applying any makeup.
Step 2: To finish off your flawless skin, simply dust translucent powder on your face to even out your skin tone.
Step 3: Next, brush your lips (yes, your lips) with a toothbrush to ditch any dry flakes. Then, apply a moisturizing balm to repair cracks and dryness. Using your fingertips, pat on a light layer of foundation. This neutralizes your natural lip color so the lipstick stays true to what you see in the tube.
Step 4: Last, bring your mouth into modern times by slicking on a raspberry-colored lipstick.

Glowing Peach Cheeks
Stash your bronzer and swap it for a more fall appropriate peach blush, which alone can make a pretty, glowing statement. Here's how to master the look:
Step 1: First, prep skin with moisturizer to help give it a dewy look. Pick a product that is extra-hydrating, but not heavy like Garnier Moisture Rescue Refreshing Gel-Cream, $7.99.
Step 2: To give skin a warm flush, choose a powder blush formula in the apricot family. Dab your blush brush in the powder, then tap the brush to remove excess product.
Step 3: Dust the blush in a circular motion along the apples of your cheeks before sweeping it out toward your temples.

Strong, Defined Brows
A prominent brow is like a period. It completes the face just as the punctuation mark finishes a sentence. Here's how to get your fullest (yet totally groomed-looking) brows possible:
Step 1: To make a statement, start with a clean arch by plucking any stray hairs with tweezers.
Step 2: Fill in brows with an eyebrow pencil, making short strokes in the direction of the hair growth for a natural-looking finish. Choose chocolate if you�re brunette and taupe if you�re blonde.
Step 3: Apply a clear brow gel to set the hair, stroking upwards and outwards.

Luminous Skin
Hold on to your summer glow by way of shimmering skin. Here's how:
Step 2: Create an even, flawless-looking face with a semi-matte foundation.
Step 3: To get a goddess-like glow similar to Lauren Conrad's, choose a multipurpose compact that contains two shades of bronzer and a highlighter.
Step 4: Define cheeks by swiping the deepest shade along the bottoms of the cheekbones.
Step 5: Apply the medium shade where the sun would naturally hit your face (along the apples of your cheeks, forehead and the bridge of your nose).
Step 6: To boost radiance, apply a highlighter, which is a light-reflective powder, to the tops of cheekbones.
Step 7: Pair with a soft, putty-pink lipstick to complete the look.
