HOW TO

Skin:

  • Always prep your skin by cleansing, toning and moisturising.
  • Using your fingertips, apply a pea-sized amount of primer on your forehead, nose, cheeks and chin.
  • With a foundation brush apply a light covering of foundation for a flawless finish. Using finger tips pat on more foundation on the cheekbones to heighten luminosity.
  • Dab on luminous concealer to disguise blemishes and imperfections. For dark circles under eyes apply three dots of concealer to the under eye area blending with a tapping motion so as not to remove too much product.
  • Before bronzer, set your foundation with a dusting of finishing powder.
  • Lastly, sculpt your face with Gucci’s Glow Bronzer

Eyes:

  • Sweep the C shade of the Gucci Magentic Colour Shadow Quad in Tuscan storm onto the lid, crease and under eye.
  •  Highlight brow bone and inner corners using A shade of the Gucci Magentic Colour Shadow Quad in Tuscan storm.

Lips:

  • Trace the outline of the mouth with a lip pencil in Lush and fill in the lips with a lip pencil in Imperial Red.
  • The achieve this look we use two layers of lipsticks. Firstly, use the sharp edge of Audacious Colour Intense Lipstick in Dark Romance toward the outside and fill in the middle in the middle with the same lipstick in Iconic red.
