STEP ONE
PREP YOUR SKIN
In order to get the best out of your bridesmaid makeup looks, you need to ensure you hydrate and prepare your skin properly before applying makeup.

• Start by saturating a cotton pad in Hydrating Face Tonic and smooth this over the face and neck. Pro tip! For any areas where you feel roughness in the skin, work the pad in small circular motions to help reveal a smoother less textured base.

• Take a ‘small pea’ size amount of Vitamin Enriched Eye Base, warm up between the fingertips and press under the eyes from the lash line to orbital bone.

• Warm a ‘blueberry’ size amount of Vitamin Enriched Face Base into the palms of your hands and press into the skin starting with the cheeks, forehead, chin, and nose. Pro tip! Finish by working the product into the skin in circular motions to help stimulate.

• Take one pump of Extra Illuminating Moisture Balm and press into the highpoints of the face - across the cheekbones, temples, and bridge of the nose.

• Prep the lips with Lip Balm SPF 15 - doing this at the beginning of your makeup will mean your lips are perfectly hydrated for when you apply your chosen lipstick.

STEP TWO
ACE YOUR BASE
These products offer flawless, long-lasting coverage and a glowing finish – creating the perfect in-person and on-camera look!

• Start with a Skin Corrector Stick under the eye to neutralise undereye darkness and pigmentation across the face. Pro tip! The warmth of your fingertips helps work the product into the skin for the most natural, seamless finish.

• Sweep Skin Full Cover Concealer under the eyes, taking it just below the orbital bone. Pro tip! Stipple the product through with the Full Coverage Touch Up Brush.

• Next, use Skin Long-Wear Weightless Foundation SPF 15 with the Full Coverage Face Brush, starting at the areas of the skin where you see the most discolouration.

• Use Skin Foundation Stick to colour correct areas of the skin by stippling the product in light bouncing motions to build additional coverage with a second skin finish. Add warmth with a deeper Skin Foundation Stick applying across the cheekbones, forehead, and areas where the sun naturally hits.

• Add additional contour with Bronzing Powder this matte formula creates a smooth and flawless finish with the Bronzing Brush.

• Add a light dusting of Sheer Finish Loose Powder under the eyes and on any areas that get excessively shiny. Pro tip! A smaller brush like the Eye Blender Brush allows for precise application, allowing the natural glow shine through the highpoints of the face.

STEP THREE
Create your eye look
This is the perfect eye makeup guide for your glam bridesmaid makeup look – warm, shimmering and enticing.

• Use the Dual Ended Brow Definer & Groomer with the Brow Kit start by using the spooley to brush the brows up and across to see where the gaps are, lightly fill in the brows starting at the sparsest areas.

• Sweep Taupe Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick across the lid from the lash line to the crease to prep and neutralise any discoloration , and gently press the product in with your ring finger before using Cashew to brighten and illuminate from the crease to brow bone. Then apply shade Cinnamon across the lash line and use the Eye Smudge Brush to buff into the taupe base.

• Then using the Real Nudes Eyeshadow Palette in Stonewashed Nudes, press shade Maple Sugar across the eyelid up to the crease, then use Hot Stone and Espresso to deepen the base of the lashes.

• Apply Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner close to the lash line and smudge out with the Smokey Eye Liner Brush.

• Apply 1-2 coats of Smokey Eye Mascara, or until you have your desired length and volume – this mascara can be layered up to seven times without clumping.

STEP FOUR
Finish with your lips and cheeks
Adding a pop of colour to your lips and cheeks gives your soft bridesmaid makeup look a rosy, healthy glow.

• Take the Foundation Brush and mix cream blusher Pot Rouge in Powder Pink on the hand of your hand, then lightly tap and bounce across the apples of the cheeks for the most natural flush of colour.

• Add additional dimension with the Highlighting Powder – we used shade Pink Glow - using a small brush like the Sheer Powder Brush to gently glide across the highpoints of the face.

• Use Lip Pencil – we used shade Nude – to define the outer edges of the lips, then take the lip pencil lightly across the rest of the lips to increase the longevity of your lipstick.

• Sweep Crushed Liquid Lip – we used shade Peach & Quiet - from the bullet across the lips, gently use your ring finger to blot the product in after for a soft stained finish.

And there you have it, your bridesmaid makeup look is complete!
