Marchesa's runway show was a standout for its bold floral influences, exquisite beadwork and ethereal draping. But as much as we obsessed over the dresses, the models' lit-from-within makeup look deserves an honorable mention, too! Lead makeup artist Talia Shobrook was inspired by "a bride with confidence" and Indian beauty, which is reflected in the gold, shimmering eyes. Read below to learn how to get this look with the same Laura Mercier products she used at the show.
Flawless Face
Step 1: Prep skin with foundation primer.
Step 2: Apply foundation and conceal problem areas.
Step 3: Contour cheekbones with bronzing powder and apply blush to the apples of the cheeks, blending up into the cheek bone.
Step 4: Dab a light pink lipstick on the cheeks to create a pop of color. Dust setting powder on the skin for a fresh, matte finish.
