How I Recreate It in Under 15 Minutes

When I’m prepping a client for a night out in statement heels, I start by exfoliating their feet and applying a hydrating balm.

Smooth skin makes the shoe look even better.

Then I use a long-wear base on their legs and a touch of highlighter on the ankles to catch the light as they walk.

For the shoes themselves, I always break them in at home with a little heat from a hairdryer on the straps.

And I pack a gel insole for extra comfort.

It’s all about making the shoe feel like a second skin so you can strut without a second thought.
