How I Recreate It in Under 15 Minutes

I start with a hydrating primer, then a lightweight foundation sheered out with a damp sponge.

You want skin to peek through, not look masked.

I set the T-zone with powder but leave the cheeks and temples dewy, then blend a lilac-toned blush from the apples up toward the temples for that ethereal lift.

For eyes, I press a silver-lilac shimmer on the lid, define the crease with a soft taupe.

And finish with a thin wing and two coats of volumizing mascara.

A clear gloss or a pinky-nude lipstick keeps the focus on the dress.

And I always spritz a setting spray in an X and T motion to lock it all down.
