Get the Look with Clinique Chubby Stick: Runway Beauties

If you're looking for an easy daytime look you might forget that the runway can serve as the perfect inspiration. Forget dip-dyed mohawks and glittery eyebrows, a fresh-faced look such as this one from Proenza Schouler is perfect for work or play. To get this look, you want to make your skin is as flawless as possible, so start by blending an illuminating primer well into the skin using smooth outward motions. Next, with a stippling or buffing brush, apply a sheer foundation, blending carefully so that the product is really worked into the skin and you don't see a layer of makeup. Remember to also blend it across the eyelid as you'll want an even base.

One of the main features of this look is the brows. Using a powder or very soft pencil, fill in your brows following the natural shape. Don't add too much of an arch as you want to look natural and not overly put together. The rest of the eye can be left completely bare. If you're addicted to mascara, like so many women are, try curling your lashes and applying a coat of clear mascara to get added lift without the color. Apply a matte bronzer or warm beige blush just under the cheekbones for a subtle contour and to add a bit of color to the cheek.

Lastly, you want a sheer wash of color that will be easy to reapply all day as well as give your lips that healthy, moisturized look. Use Clinique's Chubby Stick in Woppin Watermelon or Super Strawberry $15 to get a subtle flush of color that looks like it could almost be your natural lip. If you want a lighter lip, opt for Woppin Watermelon as it delivers a slightly brighter tone but use Super Strawberry if you want the authentic rosy flush from the runway. They are easy to apply and deliver just a wash of color, making them perfect for this fresh daytime look.
