To achieve Sophie’s summer glow, I started with excellent skin prep (skincare is my everything). By hydrating the skin first, you don’t need to use as much foundation to have flawless skin.
After cleansing with Kora Organics Cream Cleanser, I applied Kora Noni Bright Vitamin C Serum, followed by Summer Skin Australia Hydrating Cream. Perfect for summer as it’s a lightweight moisturizer with a velvet-matte texture. A little eye cream also goes a long way to help makeup sit well in this fragile area. So, I pressed Innisfree Intensive Hydrating Eye Cream with green tea seed, around the eyes.

After allowing these products to absorb and work their magic, I then applied a smidgen of Perfect Skin Foundation by Ayu. It’s a sheer matte foundation that’s buildable. (I’m loving Ayu —not only are the products beautiful but also cruelty-free and vegan.)
I created a full brow to frame Sophie’s incredible blue eyes with Anastasia from Beverly Hills Perfect Brow Pencil in Soft Brown. After filling in her brows, I added my secret ingredient for maximum fluffiness: Mirenesse Secret Weapon 4D Lash Primer. Gently brush this through brows for instant volume.
Keeping the eye look minimal, I used M.A.C Paint Pot in Layin Low. It’s peachy colour really makes blue eyes pop. I then lightly contoured with warm brown tones from Makeup By Mario Master Mattes. These tones were also added to the lower lash line for a natural definition.
I applied Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara in Very Black, followed by Sweed Lashes Nikki No Lash Lashes for extra-eye-hotness.
To contour Sophie’s face, I used my favourite: Fenty Beauty Cheeks Out Freestyle Cream Bronzer in Hunnie Glaze 04 (it glides seamlessly onto the skin). Then for the maximum healthy-glow-effect—a splash of pink with Fenty Beauty Cheeks Out Cream Blush in Petal Poppin on the cheeks, teamed with another Ayu must-have: Radiant Skin Cream pressed on cheekbones for a luminous highlight. I finished off Sophie’s sun-kissed, glamorous look with the creamy Aveda Liquid Color Balm in Camilla Rose. Perfect for luscious lips.
