Nicola Johnson Bridal

The brief was polished skin & textured Hair. I wanted the skin to have that super lux expensive glow, so i spent a long time working on the skin before applying any makeup. Massaging in hydrating serums & Layering up the lip & eye balm.

For maximum skin glow I prepped Pheobe’s skin with Dermalogica’s Phyto Replenish Oil, this incredible product locks in moisture & also act’s as an antioxidant, leaving a protective barrier on the skin. I warmed 4 drops in my hands and pressed over her skin.

I mixed Becca’s skin perfecting liquid in pearl with Dermalogica’s Skin smoothing cream & worked it into Pheobe’s skin with my hands & then leaving the skin for 10 mins before applying foundation.

The eyes were contoured with hues of soft gold & pinks, subtle highlights on the cheekbones to shine light on the high points of the face.

A barely there flushed cheek & a soft pink lip completed this whimsical look.

I lined the upper & lower lash line with MAC’s Khol pencil in ‘Teddy’ which is a rich bronze colour & softened any harsh lines with a pencil brush.

I used one of my favourite eyeshadow pallets by Charlotte Tilbury – ‘The Golden Goddess ‘ to create a deep smokey golden eye. Pheobe had naturally thick lashes so I just wanted to extend the length & not add too much volume – I went for a lash by Model Rock called ‘Allure’, the longest point of the lash being in the centre which created a sultry playful effect.

For the base I used Georgio Armani’s Luminous silk foundation, blending with a flat top buffing brush for a flawless finish. I highlighted the high points of the face (cheekbones, tip of nose, cupids bow) with one of my favourite shine products – Becca’s Shimmering skin Perfector Poured Creme, which melts in perfectly with the foundation for a seamless finish.
