Strawberry Milk Makeup Tutorial

Step-by-step

1. 1

   Dewy pink base

   Step 1 of 6

   Apply a hydrating primer, then a skin tint or sheer foundation for a creamy, even canvas. The base should look like healthy skin, not heavy coverage. Skip mattifying products entirely — the look depends on a soft, dewy finish.

2. 2

   Pink eyeshadow wash

   Step 2 of 6

   Using a fluffy brush or your fingertip, apply a soft matte pink eyeshadow across the entire lid and slightly above the crease. The color should be visible but diffused — not a strong block of color. Build in sheer layers rather than packing on pigment.

   Tip: If you don't own pink eyeshadow, dab a pink cream blush on your lids. It works beautifully and keeps the look monochromatic with fewer products.

3. 3

   Inner corner shimmer

   Step 3 of 6

   Add a light pink or champagne shimmer to the inner corners and the center of the lid. This adds dimension and the 'milky' quality that defines the look. Keep it subtle — a single dab, pressed on with your fingertip.

4. 4

   Strawberry blush

   Step 4 of 6

   Apply a cream or liquid blush in a natural pink shade on the apples of the cheeks. Then lightly dab a smaller amount across the bridge of the nose for the signature strawberry blush effect. Blend the edges with your fingertip so it looks like a natural flush.

5. 5

   Fluffy brows and mascara

   Step 5 of 6

   Brush brows upward with a clear or tinted brow gel for a soft, fluffy shape. Apply one to two coats of mascara on the upper lashes — enough to define without heaviness. Skip lower lash mascara to keep the look delicate.

6. 6

   Berry-pink lip finish

   Step 6 of 6Almost done!

   Apply a sheer berry or pink lip tint, tinted balm, or gloss. The lip should echo the blush shade — pink-toned and natural-looking. A glossy finish adds to the 'strawberry milk' quality. Avoid heavy matte lipstick, which would clash with the soft, dewy aesthetic.
