Wedding season has arrived and with it, the Jenny Packham 2015 Bridal Collection.
This year, the model makeup was inspired by the photographs of 1930s British society photographer, Madame Yevonde. The photographs' soft tonal colors and hazy, neoclassical ambiance directly influenced the design and palette of this season's collection.
Talia Shobrook, lead makeup artist for this seasons show, created a "soft but defined" makeup look that "complemented the romanticism of the collection." Check out how to recreate the look for yourself below:
Flawless Face: Defined, but Soft Skin
- Shobrook first prepped skin withLaura Mercier Foundation Primer - Hydrating($33).
- Next, she usedLaura Mercier Smooth Finish Flawless Fluide, ($48, NEW and available July 2014 at Sephora)to create a healthy, even tone. Then she covered any imperfections usingLaura Mercier Secret Camouflage($33).
- To sculpt the cheeks, she appliedLaura Mercier Matte Eye Colourin Cashmere ($23), followed by a thin layer ofLaura Mercier Second Skin Cheek Colourin Barely Pink ($24).
- Next, she appliedLaura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder ($24) underneath the eyes and dustedLaura Mercier Invisible Loose Setting Powder in Universal, ($35) on the rest of the face to set the makeup and make the skin appear "demi-matte."
- To highlight and give "freshness to the skin," Shobrook appliedLaura Mercier Foundation Primer - Hydratingto the cheeks and the tip of the nose using theLaura Mercier Fan Powder Brush($30).
Eyes: Sculpted and Muted
- Shobrook first primed the eye area with Laura($25). Immediately before application, she wet theMatte Eye Colourin Café au Lait ($23). Then, starting from the inner corner, she finely applied the eye shadow, following the lash line, and extended it out to the outer corner with a sharp tick.
- She lightly appliedMatte Eye Colour in Sesame ($23) onto the eyelids.
- Next, she sculpted the eye by applying theMatte Eye Colourin Cashmere ($23) in the crease with aLaura Mercier Pony Tail Brush($29). Shobrook then highlighted under the brow bone with shade Buttercream ($23).
- To finish the look, she usedLaura Mercier Full Blown Volume Suprême Lash Building Mascara, ($24,May 2014)and then went over the mascara with a clean mascara wand to separate the lashes.
- To tie the look together and flawlessly frame the face, she lightly defined the eyebrows usingLaura Mercier Eye Brow Pencil($22).
Lips: Full and Stained
To create a full lip, Shobrook mixed Laura Mercier Crème Smooth Lip Colour in Sienna and Cocoa ($27 each). Then she applied the combination to the lips with a Flat Eye Liner Brush ($25), starting in the middle and fading out, which allowed a transparency of color. This application technique allowed the color to appear more concentrated in the center of the lips.
