How I Recreate It in Under 15 Minutes
I start with a hydrating primer, then apply a medium-coverage foundation using a damp sponge, building up where needed.
For the eyes, I keep it soft a wash of taupe or lavender shimmer on the lids, tightlined with a brown liner.
And plenty of mascara to open up the eyes.
Next, I add a cream blush in a soft rose or peach, then set everything with a light mist.
Finish with a nude or rose-toned lip gloss that won’t overpower the dress.
And you’re ready to shine all night.
