Step 1
Glowing, Flawless Skin
First things first: let’s get that base right. Claire’s choice of products creates a fresh, natural glow that lasts all day (and all night) without ever feeling heavy.
- Prep with Hourglass Veil Primer
Start by smoothing on Hourglass Veil Primer. This isn’t just any primer—it’s like the secret sauce for a flawless, long-lasting finish. Apply a thin layer, focusing on areas prone to shine, like your T-zone. It’ll keep your glow in check and give your foundation a dreamy, natural finish. - NARS Sheer Glow Foundation for that ‘Lit-from-Within’ Look
Next, go for NARS Sheer Glow Foundation. It’s just the right mix of coverage and glow—enough to even out your skin without hiding its natural beauty. Dot it on and blend with a damp sponge for a fresh, seamless look. - Add Warmth with Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Bronzer
Want to look sun-kissed and sculpted? A light sweep of Charlotte Tilbury’s Airbrush Bronzer along your cheekbones, temples, and jawline adds subtle definition and warmth. This bronzer is all about giving you that effortless contour without looking “done.” - Pop of Glow with Charlotte Tilbury’s Beauty Light Wand in Peachgasm
Now, for that subtle pop of shimmer. Dab a little bit of Charlotte Tilbury’s Beauty Light Wand in Peachgasm onto your cheekbones, bridge of your nose, and cupid’s bow. It’s like capturing golden-hour light in a tube—yes, it’s that good! - Set with Laura Mercier Candleglow Perfecting Powder in Shade #3
Set everything in place with Laura Mercier’s Candleglow Perfecting Powder for a soft, candlelit finish that never looks matte or flat. Dust a light layer over your face to lock in your glow while keeping it natural.
Step 2
Soft, Alluring Eyes
Eyes are the show-stealer, right? Here’s how Claire kept the look fresh and slightly sultry:
- Build a Base with SMASHBOX Always On Cream Eyeshadow in Taupe
Start with a wash of SMASHBOX’s Always On Cream Eyeshadow in Taupe. This cream shadow is super easy to blend and sets beautifully, giving your eyes a soft, smoky base that adds depth without overpowering. - Define with Tom Ford Eye Colour Quad in Desert Fox
Using Tom Ford’s Eye Colour Quad in Desert Fox, layer soft browns to define and add dimension. Start with the lighter shades on the lids and move to the darker shades at the outer corners and crease. This quad is perfect for building a sophisticated, multidimensional eye that’s still understated. - YSL Lines Liberated Eye Pencil in Deconstructed Brown for Definition
Add a touch of liner with Yves Saint Laurent’s eye pencil in Deconstructed Brown. This gives you definition without the harshness of black. Trace along your upper lash line and smudge slightly for that effortless, soft-focus effect.
step 3
Luscious Lips
Claire kept lips soft and romantic with shades that blend seamlessly together:
- Line with MAC Lip Liner in Oak
Start by outlining your lips with MAC’s Oak lip liner. This shade enhances your natural lip shape while giving you that perfect, full-lip effect. - MAC Matte Lipstick in Honeylove
Fill in with MAC Matte Lipstick in Honeylove for a creamy, sophisticated nude that doesn’t wash you out. This shade is all about effortless chic and lasts all day. - Finish with Dior Lip Oil in Universal Clear
For a hint of shine and extra moisture, top it off with Dior Lip Oil in Universal Clear. It’s the final touch for lips that look soft, hydrated, and just a bit glossy.
