Steps To Create It

Step 1: Prep your face with a pore-minimising face primer and then layer on your foundation and concealer.

This face primer is legit like an IG filter in a tube. It gives the look of tight, almost-poreless skin we crave. And the yellow tint in the formula works to banish dullness and uneven skin tone. 

Step 2: Apply a concealer to your eyelids. Then, sweep a light pink eyeshadow all across the eyelids. Apply black eyeshadow on the outer third corner of your lower lash line. Grab your liquid liner and apply it along your upper lash line. Opt for a pair of falsies that flares out towards the ends. This will help you ace this dramatic eye makeup.

Step 3: Complete the look by applying a peach blush. Enhance your pout with a lip liner and lipstick.

Peach Beauty Aesthetic

The peach beauty aesthetic is taking the internet by storm and there’s no reason why you should not incorporate it into your bridal makeup look. It looks chic and oh-so pretty. Plus, the peach hue gives a warm and skin-brightening glow that looks lovely on brides. You can stick to the same peach colour for your lids, lips, and cheeks to try the hottest beauty trend of the season. 

Steps To Create It

Step 1: After completing your makeup base. Take a peach eyeshadow and apply it across your eyelids.

Step 2: Use the same shade on your lips and cheeks. Complete your look by accentuating your makeup with a set of false eyelashes.
