Jenny Packham: Fall 2013 Bridal Collection
Look created by Talia Shobrook for Laura Mercier

Talia Shobrook, lead makeup artist for this season’s Jenny Packham’s show, complemented the designer’s stunning collection by creating a modernized vintage makeup look inspired by the “golden age” of cinema, when women defined Hollywood glamour. The look is for a confident bride who is not afraid of style and wants to make an impact in a beautiful, feminine way.

Flawless Face: The look started with flawless, fresh and dewy skin. The most important step is to make sure the skin is evenly hydrated.

 ·         Talia first prepped skin with Laura Mercier Mega-Moisturizer Crème SPF 15 ($50). Then, she added Laura Mercier Foundation Primer - Hydrating ($32) to the T-Zone and Laura Mercier Foundation Primer – Radiance ($32) to the outer areas of the face.

·         Next, she applied Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Crème Compact SPF 20 ($45) and covered any problem areas with Laura Mercier Secret Concealer ($22).

 ·         Talia wanted the skin to have a “3-D” look. To do so, she used Laura Mercier Second Skin Cheek Colour in Fresh Ginger ($24) to contour the cheek bones. Then, she applied Laura Mercier Second Skin Cheek Colour in Peach Whisper ($24) along the cheek bones. Next, she dusted the apples of the cheeks with Laura Mercier Second Skin Cheek Colour in Barely Pink ($24).  

·         To add the final touch to the perfect palette, Talia used Laura Mercier Invisible Loose Setting Powder ($35).

Simple Eyes: Various textures on the eyes gave a clean, vintage look. The goal was bring out the eyes’ natural beauty. Talia reinvented the vintage look when models used to wear gloss or shine on their eyelids to give that extra pop.

·         To create subtle color on the eyelid, she first applied Laura Mercier Luster Eye Colour in Dusk and Gold Dust ($22 each). Next, she dabbed the lid with Laura Mercier Lip Plumper in Lychee ($30) then tapped Laura Mercier Sequin Eye Colour in Twinkling Star ($22) with the tips of her fingers to illuminate the eyes.

·         To finish the eyelids, Talia applied Laura Mercier Eye Basics in Cotton ($24) to the lower lash line using the Laura Flat Eye Liner Brush ($25). The eyes were completed with Laura Mercier Faux Lash Mascara in Black ($24).

Romantic Lips: Natural, rosy lips to bring the look together

·         Talia dabbed Laura Mercier Crème Smooth Lip Colour in Plumberry ($26) from the center of the lips out, creating a flirty look.
