A test before the big day

Glowing skin

She begins with a two-step facial cleansing, starting with her Goddess Cleansing Ritual before applying her Instant Magic Dry Sheet Mask , then following with Magic Cream and a primer. ” To achieve flawlessly glowing skin that instantly glows and feels refreshed, mix a little foundation with highlighter ,” she advises. ” I use my fingers a lot, because the warmth of the hands allows the product to penetrate “
Emphasize your eyes
” A light bronze eyeshadow brings out all eye colors and adds a sensual touch to all bridal makeup ” , explains Amy Conway make up artist at Bobbi Brown Cosmetics. Generously applied mascara makes your eyes appear larger, more open.
Dare to use blush
” When faced with a white or ivory dress, use more blush than usual so that you don’t appear too pale in the photos, ” explains Amy Conway . His trick? Be generous with the blush . “ I use bluish-pink tones on the cheeks, like Bobbi Brown’s Pale Pink Blush, to brighten the skin. ”
Layering long-wearing products
” Long –wearing gel eyeliners stay on well and are easy to apply ,” Amy Conway tells us . Layer it over primer to boost volume, length and wave effect like no waterproof mascara can, ” she recommends. ” Use waterproof mascara on top, like a raincoat “.
Set so you don’t shine
Once your makeup is finished, set it with a compact powder using a sculpting brush on the T-zone and on the bridge of the nose, chin and forehead. ” The powder will set your bridal makeup and combat shine later in the day .”
