PREP:
- To prep the skin, Dedivanovic used Laura Mercier Infusion de Rose Nourishing Cream ($68) to give Kim’s skin a soft, moisturized base.
FLAWLESS COMPLEXION:
- To give Kim a natural look, Dedivanovic applied Laura Mercier Candleglow Soft Luminous Foundation in Maple ($48) to even out her complexion and give her a “lit from within” glow.
- To ensure her flawless look lasted all night, he dusted Laura Mericer Translucent Loose Setting Powder ($38) all over her t-zone.
- Dedivanovic contoured Kim’s hairline, nose and cheekbones using Laura Mercier Matte Radiance Baked Powder in Bronze-03 ($40) to give her skin a sun-kissed, radiant glow.
- To give the cheeks a summery, peach flush, Dedivanovic lightly dusted Laura Mercier Second Skin Cheek Colour in Peach Whisper ($26). This added a pop of color to Kim’s face, without distracting from her lustrous skin.
- Dedivanovic applied Laura Mercier Face Illuminator Powder in Addiction ($44) to the inner corners of Kim’s eyes and on her cupid’s bow to brighten her complexion. He then dusted Laura Mercier Face Illuminator Powder in Devotion ($44) along her cheeks to highlight her striking cheekbones.
- He then gave Kim’s skin a warm glow using Laura Mercier Face Illuminator Powder in both Addiction and Devotion on her chest, collarbone and legs.
- Finally, Dedivanovic lightly spritzed Kim’s complexion with Tatcha Luminous Dewy Skin Mist ($48), giving her skin a fresh gleam.
EYES:
- To make Kim’s eyes look sultry and bronzed, Dedivanovic lightly swept Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour in Sand Glow ($29) across the lid. He then applied the Copper shade from the Laura Mercier Eye Art Caviar Colour-Inspired Palette ($55) on the outer corners of the eye and across the lower lash line to make her eyes pop.
- In creating Kim’s signature bold brows, Dedivanovic applied Laura Mercier Brow Dimension Fiber Infused Colour Gel in Brunette ($24) to the outer corners of her brows, using a mascara wand to create more drama and apply a thicker layer of product. He then colored the middle of the brows with gel, using light strokes to create a softer look.
LIPS:
- Dedivanovic lined the lips with Laura Mercier Lip Pencil in Hazelnut Tea ($24) to keep Kim’s lips looking soft and natural
- Finally, he applied Laura Mercier Velour Lovers Lip Colour in Sensual ($28) to give her a perfect nude pout.
