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.
