“I created Diipa’s signature look, but amped it up, just a little bit. I enhanced her eyes with liquid liner and focused on creating flawless skin that looked natural, but full of dimension. I used highlighter on the higher planes of the face – think cheekbones, bridge of nose and cupids bow – with a soft contour to enhance her beautiful features. We decided to go with full on shiny, glossy, lips. Clear Lipglass was perfect as it created a shine that lasted throughout a night of dancing, drinking and eating.”

“One of the untold stories in beauty is the appeal of the more lived- in smoky eye. It’s that moment when a melt, a smudge and a little bit of creasing are actual techniques, not mistakes. As we know, some of the best results in makeup are beautiful accidents. It’s about being perfectly imperfect.”

“This look was so much fun! I wanted to compliment the dazzling jewellery and outfit, by using textures on the skin and eyes that looked glazed, dewy, glowing and fresh. We really took the time to make sure we prepped Diipa’s skin to its absolute best, so before applying any foundation or concealer, we layered skincare products. The oils were perfect for this, as well as having a beautiful soothing scent, they made her skin look and feel flawless before we even started. I kept contouring to a minimal, but focused on creating skin that looked healthy and had a ‘lit-from-within’ glow. Diipa’s eye makeup and lip were kept neutral but enhanced. I used matte and illuminating textures on the eyes and went for a matte lip to ensure longevity.”
