"When your skin is fresh and luminous, you don't need much other makeup," says Mally Roncal, makeup artist and founder of Mally Beauty Cosmetics. "My secrets — just four fast and easy steps — will make you look like you 'woke up like this' every single morning." Roncal worked her magic on Redbook's model-for-the-day, health care account executive Shakara Dalecki, 42.

Glow Up

"The first time I did Beyoncé’s makeup, I gave her radiant, healthy-looking skin and kept the rest of her face simple. She loved it (and couldn’t believe how little time it took!)," Roncal says. "To this day, I may change things up with her lip or eye look, but her glow stays the same. It’s all about brightening up the center of the face, which is what people focus on when they look at you." Ready to make it part of your a.m. makeup routine?

Step 1: 

Brighten Key Areas

Swipe a liquid concealer one shade lighter than your skin tone between and below your brows, under the eyes, above your lip, and on your chin (as shown here). Pat it in with your finger or a makeup sponge.

Step 2: 

Spot-Highlight

Illuminate the areas light naturally hits: upper cheekbones, brow bones, bridge of the nose, inner corners of the eyes, and Cupid’s bow. Use champagne highlighter on fair skin and gold on medium to dark skin.

Step 3: 

Create Definition

A bit of contour offsets the shimmer and gives dimension to your face. Dust contour or bronzing powder into the hollows of your cheeks and along your jawline and temples.

Step 4: 

Add Some Color

Blush brings warmth to your complexion, so swirl a rosy pink or peach shade on the apples of your cheeks. And that’s it! In the words of Bey... you’re flawless!
