How I Recreate It in Under 15 Minutes
When I style a client for a shoot or event, I start with the shoes, not the face.
Once those cherry reds are on, I build the outfit around them.
Keeping the palette neutral so the shoes pop, then I do a quick swipe of balm on the lips and a touch of blush to tie it all together.
For the actual shoe prep, I always break them in with a thick sock and a hairdryer for two minutes per shoe.
It softens the leather and saves your heels from blisters.
Then I do a final check: walk, sit, cross your legs, and make sure the shoes feel like they belong to you.
