There are few looks chicer than the "model off duty" style — except for when catwalkers take to the red carpet. Ladies like Karlie Kloss and Cara Delevingne make casual glam seem effortless, even if they had a huge glam squad to get them ready for the night. Good news: you don't need a team of beauty experts to achieve simple, polished perfection.
First, give yourself a DIY facial [1], then add illuminator [2] to the high points of your face. Finish by playing up your best feature (Karlie chose her lips for this gorgeous, lazy-girl look). You want to prove to your date that you made an effort, but didn't have to try too hard to look impossibly beautiful. Who ever said getting ready for a night out had to take more than 30 minutes?
