How I Recreate It in Under 15 Minutes
I start with a hydrating primer, then a light-coverage foundation mixed with a drop of liquid highlighter for that lit-from-within base.
I set only the T-zone with powder, leaving the cheeks and temples dewy.
It photographs beautifully against the sequins.
For the eyes, I do a wash of shimmering neutral on the lid, a soft brown in the crease.
And a few individual lashes to open up the eyes without looking heavy.
A rose-nude lip liner with a matching gloss finishes it off.
No matte lip here, because the dress is already matte-ish with its texture.
