New York Ideas We Love

Pretty, Fresh

We loved this ’60s-inspired look at the Romona Keveza show during Bridal Fashion Week. So we tracked down makeup artist Alexis Velez for the details. "I wanted to go back to that Audrey Hepburn-inspired strong brow and full lip—sophisticated, yet innocent," says Alexis. Here, she reveals her techniques and products, all by BECCA, beccacosmetics.com. Alexis started by sweeping Jewel Dust in "Sebille" around the eye, and then applying Eye Colour powder shimmers—"Brocade" to the crease, and "Organza" (a white shimmer) to the brow bone. To create a luminescent canvas, Alexis mixed Shimmering Skin Perfector, a moisturizer with shimmering particles, and Luminous Skin Color, a light coverage foundation, all over the face. To finish it off, instead of lipstick, she used Glossy Lip Tint in "Grenadine," a deep berry shimmer.
