For a glowing, flawless-looking complexion, make up artist Sam Ong applied BB Cushion SPF50+/PA+++ before dabbing highlighter onto model Chanty’s brow bones, cheekbones and nose bridge. A blend of shimmery light brown and pink shadows softly illuminate the eyes while baby pink keeps lips pretty.

If you’re going with the tradition of something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, adding pretty bright blue nails or a shimmery midnight blue eyeliner is a subtle way to incorporate this shade. Start with a thin line at the inner eye corners, then gradually make the eyeliner thicker and finish with an upward flick at the ends.

The boho look gets a glamorous update with a sparkling headband, pearly eyeshadow to brighten the peepers and intricate lace nails. To contour the cheekbones, Sam used an angled brush to blend matte bronzer into the hollows of the cheeks and then upwards into the hairline.

Nothing gets attention quite like an orange coral lip. Louder or brighter corals work well on fair-skinned brides, while darker or more muted shades complement a tanned complexion, says Sam.
