This is me. Completely barefaced. I literally woke up like this. (Well, I did my hair for the purpose of this tutorial, but that doesn't count.)
First, Lendzion prepared my skin for makeup by applying Bobbi Brown Hydrating Eye Cream, $50, Vitamin Enriched Face Base, $56, (a rich primer/moisturizer) and Lip Balm, $20. Then, for a little extra glow, she used Extra Illuminating Moisture Balm, $63, just on my cheeks. You can add luminizer to your moisturizer to achieve a similar effect.
To cancel out the blue tones of my under-eye bags, Lendzion used a pink-y peach shade of Bobbi Brown Intensive Skin Serum Corrector, $40, a lightweight, eye-brightening pre-concealer. If you have dark circles, you don't want to skip this step. A peach-toned concealer will help neutralize dark circles.
Lendzion applied Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer, $25, in a shade slightly lighter to my skin tone underneath my eyes, then blended it out and down toward my cheekbones to give a natural-looking highlight. She also applied it to my eyelids to make them look brighter and my eyes look more awake.
Nothing gives away the fact that you're wearing makeup like foundation that doesn't match your skin tone. Pro tip for finding your ideal shade: Swatch several different shades along your face. Your perfect shade will be the one that disappears into your skin. (For reference, I'm shade Warm Ivory in Bobbi Brown Intensive Skin Serum Foundation SPF 40, $62.)
Lendzion applied it to my face using a foundation brush with short, tightly packed bristles. She blended it up to where the concealer ends to create a seamless line.
