Heidi’s Makeup was inspired by her gown. Makeup artist Linda Hay focused on the eyes, the absence of color and neutral lip. The skin was sun-kissed with a beige/bronzy look from head to toe using a mix of Victoria’s Secret Bare Bronze Gleaming Self Tan Tint and Victoria’s Secret Daily glow Moisturizer to her whole body and a light sweep of Ooh La La Shimmer Powder to line her legs, arms and shoulders. For Heidi’s face, Linda used tinted moisturizer to even out her complexion and a little concealer around the eyes and nose. A light dusting of translucent powder and Goddess Bronzer to shape and contour her face.

For Heidi’s eyes, Linda used Black Velvet Eye Pencil to draw a very thin line on the top lash line. Then using the 2 lighter Charcoal colors in the Satisfied Eye Very Sexy Mosaic Palette, she lightly smudged the the pencil and drew in the crease. Linda used the white shadow in the Mosaic palette to highlight right underneath the brow line and dot at the inside corner of the eye. Underneath, she also added a thin sweep of lightest silver to gently define the eye.
