How I Recreate It in Under 15 Minutes

Start with freshly washed, dry hair.

I always add a light mousse at the roots for volume, then braid a crown or side braid, securing with clear elastics and bobby pins.

I gently pull at the braid’s edges to loosen it, creating that soft, romantic fullness.

And finish with a flexible-hold hairspray to keep everything in place without stiffness.

For the makeup, I prep with a hydrating primer, then apply a soft-matte foundation only where needed, leaving the rest of the skin bare.

I use a damp sponge to press in a cream highlighter on the high points of the face cheekbones, brow bone, cupid’s bow.

And set with a fine translucent powder only on the T-zone to keep the glow where it should be.
