I’ve been obsessed with Underpainting lately. By layering your sculpt, highlight, and blush underneath a sheer veil of foundation, you get a lifted, airbrushed finish using about half the product. It’s the ultimate secret for a fresh, "lit-from-within" glow that doesn't settle into fine lines. Here is your Underpainting Starter Kit checklist: * [ ] Cream Contour or Bronzer Stick: Choose a cool-toned shade for sculpting or a warm-toned shade for a sun-kissed lift. * [ ] Brightening Concealer: Opt for a formula 1–2 shades lighter than your skin tone to bring light to the center of the face. * [ ] Cream or Liquid Blush: A high-pigment cream is best, as it needs to show through the foundation layer. * [ ] Sheer Foundation or Skin Tint: The key is transparency. If the foundation is too full-coverage, you’ll hide all the work you did underneath. Look for "serum" or "tint" in the name. * [ ] Hydrating Setting Spray: To "melt" the layers together and give that lived-in, glass-skin finish. * [ ] Translucent Setting Powder: Only for targeted areas (like under the eyes or around the nose) to ensure the look lasts all day.
