How to get the look
Step 1: For Luminous Base
To rock a glowy, dewy base all you need to do is give your face a 2-minute massage with your go-to creamy moisturiser. Then, apply a layer of primer to ace a luminous base. Alternatively, mixing a few drops of this serum with your foundation or using a serum-infused foundation will also do the trick.

Smooth on an eye primer to prep those lids for makeup. Then apply a rusty nude eyeshadow all over your eyelids and crease. Next, use a clean blending brush to diffuse the edges. Take the same shade on a precise brush and run it along your lower lash line and then apply some glitter to the centre of your eye lids.

Grab your go-to kohl or pencil eyeliner and then trace the winged eyeliner and gently smoke it out to add a little more drama. Don’t forget to apply the same on the lower lash line and smudge it out to create a smokey effect.

How to get the look
Step 1: For A Soft-Focus Base:
The key here is to use a few soft-focus and luminous products in conjunction with your skin-perfecting routine. We recommend using a luminescent moisturiser on your skin that gives it a hefty dose of hydration. Then follow it up with a primer to get a silky-smooth canvas and diffuse the appearance of skin texture and fine lines giving a blurred finish. Wait for at least 5 to 10 minutes to ensure the products really sink into your skin and then proceed with your foundation and concealer.
Step 2: To Ace Silver Eye Makeup
Apply a brown-nude matte eyeshadow on the outer crease of your eyes to define the sockets. Then, take a darker shade of brown and apply it slightly below the light brown shade. Blend the two together using a clean fluffy brush. This will help in giving depth to your eyes. Next, apply a silver eyeshadow all over your lids and grab a kohl eyeliner to apply liner on the upper lash line and smoke it out using a fluffy brush.
Step 3: She Came. She Contoured.
Use a powder blush to impart a rosy aesthetic to your cheeks. Then, use a contour to give your face a more sculpted look.
Step 4: Nail That Pout
Apply a poppy pink lipstick to complete the look.
