The multi-hyphenate just gave us proof that less is always more when it comes to makeup with this fresh-faced selfie.

To get the look, use a soft brown eyeshadow on your lids (Fiona is using Fenty Beauty’s Bomb Posse Palette) and pair that with a your-lips-but-better mauve lip liner and lipstick in the same shade. Apply the lip products then smudge it out with your fingertips for that diffused, blurred effect.

A statement-making scarlet pout can draw attention to redness and dark spots on the face. Before painting the lips red, prep your complexion with a light layer of tinted SPF to even out the skin tone without suffocating the skin.
