How I Recreate It in Under 15 Minutes
Start with a hydrating primer and a medium-coverage foundation, buffed down the neck and chest so the scoop doesn’t create a line.
I use a damp sponge for that airbrushed finish, then set with a fine mist.
Never powder heavily on the décolletage, or satin will catch the flakes.
For eyes, I’d do a warm taupe crease, a black liner with a subtle flick.
And two coats of volumizing mascara.
Finish with a creamy blush on the apples of the cheeks and a gloss that has a hint of red.
It ties the whole look back to the dress without competing.
