Okay so ever since I picked up the SK-II CC Primer (you might’ve seen my full-on honeymoon phase and my one-week reality check lol), I’ve kind of built a whole vibe around it.

It’s giving glowy, fresh, “she drinks water and reads horoscopes” energy. Not full beat, but like... I have my life semi-together.

Here’s my current go-to face for when I want to look effortlessly dewy without melting by lunchtime)

🧴 Base Layer: The Glow Sandwich™

• Step 1 – Lightweight Hydrating SPF

 → I use the Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun. It’s hydrating but not greasy, layers well, and doesn’t mess with what’s coming next.

• Step 2 – SK-II Genoptics CC Primer

 → She’s still high-maintenance but when prepped right? Literal glass. I press it in (not rub!!) and let it set for like 2 mins.

• Step 3 – T-zone mattifier (optional)

 → If I’m gonna be outside or running errands, I tap a bit of Innisfree No Sebum powder just on my forehead and nose before anything else. Makes a big diff.

💄 Complexion: “Wait, are you wearing makeup?”

• Skin tint or light foundation

 → I’ve been mixing Glossier Skin Tint + a drop of Fenty Eaze Drop. Evens me out without killing the glow.

• Concealer (only where needed)

 → Usually just under eyes and around my nose. I use NARS Radiant Creamy because it never looks cakey on me.

• Blush (cream always)

 → Rare Beauty in “Nearly Neutral” or the Tower 28 Magic Hour. Blends right into the primer layer like a dream.

• Highlight (but subtle)

 → Instead of powder highlight, I just tap a little of the Auric Glow Lust on cheekbones. SK-II already does half the work here tbh.

🪄 Eyes: Low-Effort But Still Cute

• Brows – Fluff and go. I use a tinted brow gel and call it a day.

• Lashes – Curl + one coat of tubing mascara.

• Shadow (if any) – I’ll dab a bit of bronze shimmer with my finger if I’m feeling ✨spicy✨ but usually just skip it.

💋 Lips: Always Sheer, Always Juicy

• Laneige Lip Glowy Balm in Berry if I’m just out for errands

• If I want color color – Rom&nd Juicy Lasting Tint in “Figfig” is that girl

• Sometimes I do both because ✨shine✨

🔒 Set + Forget-ish

• I mist the Kosas Plump + Juicy Spray to lock everything in and give that skin finish

• I’ll carry blotting papers just in case but honestly, with this setup I’m good for like 5–6 hours unless I’m out in the sun

Why I’m Loving This Routine rn

☑️ Glowy but not sweaty

☑️ Super quick (10–12 mins tops)

☑️ Layers perfectly with theSK-II CC Primer if I treat her right

☑️ Feels like my skin but upgraded

The only thing is I probably wouldn’t wear this for a long night out or if I’m dancing lol but for work, errands, brunch, or existing in public looking cute? 10/10 would recommend

If you’re also using the SK-II primer, try this combo and tell me if it’s working for you too! Or lmk if you’ve found a setting spray that holds glow and keeps oil in check. The journey continues 😅
