Which Celeb Is Winging It Better?

Pro Tips:
For Minimalist Lovers:
- Choose a skin tint with SPF + hyaluronic acid.
- Complete with cream blush and brow gel—hello, natural glam.
- Set with a lightweight finishing spray (or none—if sweat is a worry).
For Full Glam Aces:
- Use full coverage foundation, primer, concealer—in a sandwich technique for longevity.
- Lock it in with translucent powder and setting spray.
- Highlight and contour to sculpt.
For the Switch-Up Squad:
- Invest in a blending sponge—perfect for layering if the day turns glam.
- Keep a mini compact of translucent powder to tone down shine when you need it.
- Have a luxe travel brush to keep product looking fresh on the go.
