For a typical evening out, we beauty buffs tend to take our makeup game pretty seriously. We’re talking an intricate smoky eye, a killer contour, maybe even a bold lip — you know, the works. Albeit, we’d be lying if we acted like that’s how it goes 100% of the time. Sometimes a girl (or boy!) just can’t be bothered with the whole nine yards — especially after a day spent in a blissful Netflix-couch-coma. On nights like these, we shoot for a more low-key glam that we could also break out for daytime — something that says, “I totally put effort into this, but I also whipped it up in no time.” Don’t think it’s possible to have both? Allow our lovely influencer, Sazan Hendrix, to show you how it’s done.
In this lightning-fast tutorial, which she partnered with Dior to bring us, Sazan walks us through how to achieve her flawless-and-flirty makeup in a flash. Besides being crazy-easy, this look is ideal for any occasion — day or night. Watch her 1-minute vid and read on for a more detailed breakdown.
Step One: Ace Your BaseTo create an even canvas that appears dewy and fresh, Sazan goes in with a light layer of the Diorskin Airflash Foundation and then uses a kabuki brush to target any areas that need a hint more coverage. “I personally love having the brush to blend everything in nice and evenly — no streaks attached,” she says. The finished look is airbrushed, but also natural-looking, which should always be your aim!
Step Two: Up Your FlushFor a rosy flush that amps the flirty-ness, Sazan carefully sweeps on Dior’s Rosy Glow blush, which instantly brings her complexion to life. Quick tip: When using any cheek product, be sure to apply with a light hand to avoid looking cake-y or clown-like.
Step Three: Shadow PlayFor the eyes, Sazan keeps things super simple with a pop of subtle shimmer on the lid and some definition on her lower lash line. You can use Dior’s Eye Reviver — a gorgeous neutrals palette — to achieve what she did here.
Step Four: Just a CoatTo keep the main focus on her radiant skin, Sazan only applies a touch of mascara to her naturally long lashes. The result is fluttery and feminine, which we’re most definitely digging.
Step Five: Perfect Your PoutFor the final step in her speedy regime, Sazan swipes on a generous layer of Dior’s infamous Lip Glow, which leaves behind a your-lips-but-plumper-and-pinker effect. “It’s basically a soft pink lip balm and primer all in one,” she says. “It’s also great for putting over your favorite lipstick shade.”
