Skin preparation:
Step 1: I started with prepping Nina’s skin with VI Derm Clear HQ Free to brighten the skin.

Step 3: To reduce any puffiness around the eyes I went ahead and applied
Step 4: I then applied VI Derm’s Vitamin C Gel to work as a primer on Nina’s skin before applying any makeup.
Makeup Application:
Step 1: To start the makeup process application I applied Cle de Peau concealer and a light wonder foundation.
Step 2: To create an illuminating effect I used Mosaic Illuminator in medium and then applied bronzer for contour.
Step 3: I wanted to keep her look soft because I knew she was wearing a pink and very romantic dress so i applied the Zulu Luxe Beach Beauty Pallete along with a soft touch of eye pencil in earth tones and Merle Norman Wicked Lash Mascara.

Step 5: For the finishing touches I applied Dior’s Pink Cloud lipgloss to compliment her dress.
