Makeup

Night before

Professional step-by-step

• 1Primer: Hydrating + pore-minimising — apply thin layer, wait 2 min before foundation
• 2Foundation: Medium-to-full coverage in your undertone — build at centre face only; leave edges light
• 3Concealer: Under-eye + any spots — bake under-eye with loose powder 3 min; studio lights deepen shadows
• 4Blush: Warm peach or rose on apple of cheeks, blended toward temple — no cool-toned pink (clashes with warm red dress)
• 5Highlight: Warm gold on cheekbone, brow bone, inner corner — use sparingly; studio light intensifies it
• 6Eyes: Warm brown/copper smoky OR simple black liner + mascara — NO red eye look with a red dress
• 7Brows: Define and fill; lighter for fair skin, fuller definition for deep skin
• 8Lip: NUDE or blush pink — the most important rule; red lip + red dress = colour overload in photos
