How I Recreate It in Under 15 Minutes
In my kit, I start with a hydrating primer and a medium-coverage foundation, then blend with a damp sponge for that skin-like glow.
I contour just under the cheekbones and along the jawline.
Nothing harsh, since the dress’s structure does the sculpting.
For the eyes, I’d do a soft smoky look with warm browns and a tiny wing, then finish with a lash that’s fluttery, not heavy.
Set everything with a dewy setting spray.
And I always keep a mini blotting kit in my bag for touch-ups.
