If there's one celebrity whose makeup always looks perfect, it's Elsa Hosk. She has perfectly mastered the art of natural-looking makeup that still packs a punch. This week, Hosk posted a simple makeup routine to her Instagram. Not only is it incredibly easy to try at home, but it's also the perfect high-glamour look for when you're short on time.
In the video, Hosk creates an entire face using just concealer, contour, sunscreen, and lipstick. The finished look enhances her cheekbones and natural contours and is the perfect example of how to wear bold lipstick without looking too done up. Hosk chose a bold, berry-toned red lip with a satin finish. It's the perfect look to copy for holiday parties and casual dinners alike.
Luckily, in the video, most of the products Hosk uses are visible. We compiled them below and will be trying out her look for ourselves ASAP. Keep reading for all the details.
Hosk starts by swiping concealer under her eyes, around her nose, under her lips, and under her cheekbones. While she didn't share the exact concealer on this video, she recently shared that she's been loving this concealer from Tower 28.

From there, Hosk swipes this contour stick from Milk under her cheekbones, on the tip of her nose, and under her jawline.

Hosk starts the video with her lipstick already finished, but then she uses her lipstick to add color to the apples of her cheeks and the bridge of her nose. Hosk uses this limited-edition holiday-ready red from Code8 Beauty.

Hosk does something interesting and dabs on a bronzy sunscreen last, using this mineral option from Nudestix to help blend everything in.
