How to achieve Katie’s look:

Step 1: Prep and Prime - Begin by applying the Retexturising Face Primer to the skin. This is a clear weightless serum (paraben-free) that leaves an opalescent smooth finish. Secondly, apply the Liquid to Powder Foundation SPF20 in the Pale Almond shade, starting at the centre of the face and blending outwards towards the hairline and just under the jaw line. This product is ideal for brides, as it’s mineral-based and leaves an air-brushed finish to the skin. Nicola says: “It’s a fantastic product for photographs.”

Step 2: Eyes - Using the Signature Shadow Quad in Influencer shade, apply the highlighter to the whole eyelid. Highlighter provides a powder base for eye shadow, which not only avoids damp patches on the eyelid but also allows the shader shadow to blend smoothly when applied. Using the shading colour in the palette, apply eye shadow to the outer corner of the eye and blend inwards in the crease of the eye to create a soft smoky finish. Brush the remainder shader shadow one-third of the way under the eye. Tip: Use a little shadow at a time by dusting the excess off your brush. The best smoky finishes are achieved by building shadow rather than heavy application.

Now use the Superwear Gel Liner in Noir, and apply eyeliner along the top lid and the bottom one-third. Our Waterproof Mascara in black provides a luscious look to complete the lashes.

TIP: The less darkness under the eyes (liner, mascara and shadow), the more open your eyes will look, ideal for brides!

Using the Brow Shader Pencil in Blonde, brush lightly through the eyebrows to enhance your natural colour.

Lashes were also applied, but only to the outer eye corners to keep the look as natural as possible.

Step 3: Cheeks - Here I have used our new Baked Blusher in Nectar, leaving a subtle glowing cheek.

TIP: Use just a little blusher at a time (dusting off any excess) and building the coverage you wish to achieve.

Step 4: Lips - Line the lips with Slimline Lip Pencil in Deep Natural, and then apply Micro Bubble Lipstick in Micro Sunberry shade. Follow this with Lip Lacquer in Crystal Pink.

Step 5: Bronzer - For an overall glow, use Mosaic Bronzer lightly dusted all over the face.
