Using a combination of subtle nude shades and fabulous long-lasting Mineral Colours, the result is a contemporary look that will remain timeless and elegant for years to come.


FACE

PREBASE

If there is one day in your life you need your make up to stay put, its your wedding day! Create a flawless even complexion and increase the staying power of your make-up by applying B Triple C Facial Balancing Gel, ideal for all skin types to help balance and prime the skin, ready for make-up application.

BASE

Apply Mineral Foundation Powder - MFP4 Sunlit Peach all over the face, neck and decolletage for a flawless, natural look. To apply the mineral foundation powder it is essential to use a Kabuki Face Brush, no other brush will distribute the product evenly. It is essential to use the right brush to get that flawless glowing finish that everyone talks about with mineral make-up.

CONCEALER

Apply Mineral Concealer - Light under eyes and around the corners of the nose to conceal dark under eye circles and pigmentation. Apply Colour Corrector - Conceals redness, acne, rosacea and spider veins.

 

EYES

Using the Long Round - Eyeshadow Brush apply Mineral Colour - Mauve to the eye lid blending up over the crease towards the outer section of the eye. Soften the look by applying Mineral Colour - Diamond Dust from the inner eye and across the entire eye lid. Extra can be applied under brow bone to really make eyes pop!

Apply a sweep of Mineral Pencil – Black under the top lash line ensuring the line gets finer towards the nose, soften with the Slope Eyeliner Brush. Complete the eyes with two coats of Mineral Mascara - Black, curling the lashes prior to application.

BROWS

Well defined brows is essential to 'frame' your face, don’t underestimate the importance of taming unruly brows! Using feathery strokes apply Mineral Colours - Chocolate Brown or Jet Black with the Fine Angeled Brow Brush and finish by combing through in an ‘up and out’ motion to lift and tame the brow.

CHEEKS

Apply Contour Powder Blush - Pink Amethyst No.216 on the apples of the cheeks followed by Mineral Setting Powder – Angel to softly illuminate skin.

LIPS

Prep the lips by lightly exfoliating them with a Cleansing Scrub or bicarb soda to remove lifeless, rough skin cells. Follow with HYB5 Pro-Repair, it visibly helps to plump the lips, hydrating and conditioning the skin for hours. Follow with Tea Rose Mineral Lipstick No.201

Beauty Tip: To touch-up your foundation, simply use the Kabuki Face Brush to 're-buff' your foundation powder, before adding any more product.
