How I Recreate It in Under 15 Minutes
Start with a hydrating primer to smooth the skin, then apply a light-coverage foundation with a damp sponge.
I prefer a buildable formula so you get that lit-from-within finish.
I’ll set the T-zone with a translucent powder.
But leave the cheekbones bare to catch light like the dress does.
For the eyes, I’d do a wash of champagne shimmer from lash to brow, then add a soft brown in the outer V for depth.
Finish with a few individual lashes for flutter, a cream blush in a natural flush.
And a swipe of gloss then set everything with a fine mist to lock it in for hours.
