Warm Shimmer Bridal Glow

WHEN TO WEAR IT: Your wedding day, a special evening out, or anytime you want to look effortlessly polished and extra pretty. This look combines luminous skin with warm, softly smoky eyes and a touch of copper shimmer for a modern take on classic beauty.

FACE + SKIN

• Prep for glow. Begin with anit-aging serum followed by sh.cosmetics Anti-Aging Moisturizer to hydrate and smooth the skin, creating a beautiful canvas for makeup.
• Roll Awaken Eye Serum around the under-eye area to hydrate and refresh tired-looking eyes. Gently tap any excess into the skin.
• Mist with Rosewater Face Mist for an added layer of hydration and fresh, healthy-looking radiance.
• Apply Radiance Tinted Moisturizer over the face and blend down the neck to softly even the complexion while allowing the skin to look like skin.
• Correct dark circles with Camouflage Cover Crème, then layer Perfect Concealer only where additional coverage or brightening is needed.
• Lightly buff Baked Mineral Foundation over the complexion with the sh. Kabuki Brush for a smooth, perfected finish.
• Finish with a light veil of HD Finishing Powder, concentrating through the T-zone and anywhere you want a little extra staying power.

PRO ARTIST SECRET: For weddings and special events, build your complexion in thin layers. You'll get beautiful coverage that photographs flawlessly without looking heavy or overly made up.

CHEEKS + GLOW

• Sweep Pink Swirl Baked Mineral Blush onto the apples of the cheeks and blend upward toward the temples for a soft, romantic flush.
• Add Beige Lights Highlight Stick along the tops of the cheekbones for subtle, light-catching radiance.
• Softly blend Bronze Lights beneath the cheekbones and around the perimeter of the face for natural-looking warmth and dimension.

EYES + BROWS

• Define the upper lash line with Chocolate Mousse Gel Liner, keeping the color close to the lashes. Lightly blend along the outer half of the lower lash line for soft definition.

• Apply the sh.cosmetics Shimmer Palette, sweeping a soft neutral shimmer across the eyelid.

• Blend a deeper shade from the palette through the outer corner and crease, keeping the edges soft and diffused for a warm, smoky effect.

• Use the lightest shade from the Shimmer Palette beneath the brow bone and at the inner corner of the eye to subtly brighten.

• Press Coppertone Mineral Eye Shimmer onto the center of the eyelid for a beautiful wash of warm copper. Add just a touch beneath the lower lash line to bring the entire eye look together.

• Apply two coats of Ultimate Volume + Length Clean Mascara to the upper lashes and a light coat to the lower lashes.

• Define the brows with Mineral Brow Pencil, using soft, hair-like strokes to naturally frame the eyes.

PRO ARTIST TIP: The secret to this look is layering shimmer rather than covering the entire eye with one metallic shade. Keep the crease softly defined, then concentrate Coppertone Eye Shimmer on the lid where it catches the light. The result is luminous, dimensional and beautiful in photographs.

LIPS

• Define and softly fill the lips with Neutral Mineral Lip Crayon to create a natural base and help extend wear.  Apply Lipstay in nude. 
• Finish with Mint Kiss Gloss for a soft nude-pink lip with fresh, beautiful shine.
• For weddings or longer events, layer a neutral sh.cosmetics Lipstay underneath and keep Mint Kiss Gloss with you for touch-ups.

FINAL TOUCH

Mist Vitamin C Setting Spray over the finished look to refresh the complexion and help the layers of makeup melt together for a fresh, skin-like finish.

THE LOOK: Luminous skin. Softly flushed cheeks. Warm smoky eyes. A touch of Coppertone shimmer. The perfect glossy nude lip.

Classic beauty with a warm, modern glow.
