The idea behind this look was clear — an espresso-smokey eye paired with a sculpted complexion in a taupe tone. The result was bold, refined, and very modern.
Skin prep played a big role in achieving the flawless base. Anua products were used to prep the skin, ensuring it looked hydrated and fresh before makeup application. A facial oil massage using products from Sarah Chapman London helped boost glow and improve texture.
For the under-eye area, Mimetique smoothing eye cream was applied so the concealer could glide on easily without creasing. A Rodial Beauty vitamin C sheet face mask was also used to brighten and refresh the skin before the base makeup began. This helped create that healthy, lit-from-within finish.
The complexion was kept smooth and softly sculpted. Airbrush Vanish concealer was used to brighten and perfect the skin without looking heavy. By Terry, hyaluronic powder helped set the base while keeping it lightweight and natural. The powder did not mattify the skin too much, allowing a soft glow to remain.
A toasty blush by Gucci Beauty added warmth to the cheeks. The shade was subtle but effective, bringing life to the face without overpowering the smoky eye. The sculpting was done in taupe tones, which enhanced the bone structure in a very natural way. There was no harsh contour, only soft definition.
To lock everything in place, a setting spray by Tirtir Global was used. This ensured the makeup stayed fresh and intact throughout the event. The finish looked smooth, long-lasting, and camera-ready.
Hair by Stephen Beaver completed the look perfectly. The updo had volume and texture, with soft strands framing the face. It added elegance while still keeping the overall vibe modern and stylish. The structured outfit paired with a tie added a strong fashion element that matched the makeup beautifully.
