Pink Cheeks & Lips on the Red Carpet:
Both Isa and Shabana wore pink cheeks and lips on the red carpet, with a glowy complexion and simple touches that made the look feel almost like a fairy tale. For Isa, Avendano used two shades of the Merit blush to create a more dimensional, flushed look.
“We had to give her the most ethereal flush on the cheeks!” he said. “First, I laid down Bespoke with a dense, domed brush from the apples of the cheeks up to the temples and around her brow bone. Then, topped it off with a bit of Archival on the apples of the cheeks for a multidimensional blush.”
Twist also focused on the cheeks with Shabana, but with a more peachy pink look. “We used Flush Balm in Lusitano to add a flushed look to the skin, mimicking where the sun would naturally hit across the cheeks, chin, and collarbones, before adding Day Glow in Solstice to the high points of the face,” she explained.
For the lips, both Avendano and Twist blurred the lips with their finger for that effortless look. Avendano added a lip mask, lined the lips, and finished with a lip blush for Isa. “I knew the lips had to look as effortless as the rest of the makeup, and Merit lip products really give the most beautiful cool girl, just-bitten lip look!” he said. “I blurred it out with my finger. It added a very subtle definition.” Twist lined Shabana’s lips to add volume, pressed balm color to the center of the lips, and finished with a lip oil to add shine and hydration.
