Let’s dive into the step-by-step guide to glowing, radiant bridal glam:

Step 1: Create a Flawless Base

Start with hydrated skin and apply Real Flawless Foundation using a damp beauty sponge or foundation brush. This breathable, long-wearing formula smooths and evens out skin while feeling like nothing—perfect for a no-budge, “your-skin-but-better” bridal base. Choose your perfect match and lightly layer for buildable coverage.

Apply a touch of Real Flawless Concealer where needed (think under eyes or around the nose) to brighten and perfect.

Step 2: Blush Like You're in Love

Choose a rosy or peachy tone of Blush Color Infusion to give your cheeks a freshly flushed glow. Apply it to the apples of your cheeks and blend upward toward your temples for that radiant, bridal-bliss look.

Step 3: Warm Up with a Soft Bronze

To bring warmth and subtle definition, sweep Bronze Color Infusion over the hollows of the cheeks, temples, and jawline. This weightless bronzing powder blends like a dream, adding dimension without ever looking harsh—ideal for glowing in golden hour photos.

Step 4: Highlight with Rose-Toned Radiance

For that signature bridal luminosity, dust the RoseGlow Highlighting Powder on the high points of your face: cheekbones, bridge of the nose, cupid’s bow, and brow bones. The soft rose-gold finish melts into skin for a romantic shimmer that catches the light just right.

Step 5: Make Eyes the Star

Brides need eyeshadow that doesn’t budge—and RoseGlow Caviar Stick Eye Shadow is that girl. Use a champagne or rose-toned shimmer (like Modern Rose) across your lids, then add depth with a taupe or bronze shade (like Burnished Bronze) in the crease. Blend with your fingertips for an effortless, diffused look that lasts all day and night.

Step 6: Kiss-Ready Lips

Top off your romantic look with Caviar Hydra-Creme Lipstick—a creamy, satin-finish formula that hugs lips without feathering. Choose a timeless soft nude (like 123 Fifth Ave) or a blush pink (689 Le Marais)  for a natural yet polished pout that complements your entire look. It’s bridal elegance in a swipe.

Bonus Bridal Tips:

• Set it in place with Translucent Loose Setting Powder in Tone-Up Rose for an extra rosy effect extra longevity (especially helpful for outdoor weddings!).

• Keep Caviar Hydra-Creme Lipstick in your clutch for touch-ups between champagne toasts.

• Don’t skip waterproof mascara or lash-enhancing liner like Caviar Tightline Eyeliner for extra definition.
