All The Makeup You Need To Create This Luminuous, Spring Inspired Look

For the recent Dior Spring-Summer 2017 Haute Couture repeat show in Tokyo, Peter Philips, Creative and Image Director for Dior Make-up, created a soft and glowing makeup look that we are obsessed with.

“This is a young woman with a modernised pre-Raphaelite beauty. It was essential to emphasise her soft luminosity and sensuality,” explains Philips. The result: soft pink lips, cheeks and lids on natural yet radiant skin for a look that is both current yet beautiful.

“To get this ultra luminous and natural glow effect, I didn’t want too much texture. I needed to keep the fine texture of the skin, so I applied Dior Forever Perfect Cushion foundation,” says Philips.

” Next I perked up the cheeks with a light rosy cloud of Diorblush in #756 and #876,” continues Philips.

As a finishing touch for the face, Philips applied ” touches of Diorskin Nude Air Luminizer to obtain a pearly light at strategic points like the brow bone, the bridge of the nose and the Cupid’s bow.”

#5: Diorshow Mono Eyeshadow in #826 Backstage, $49

For the eyes, Peter Philips stresses that they “are nude with no mascara and pale eyelids, unified with Diorshow Mono in #826 and a line of Diorshow Kohl in beige. A unified base to bring out the play on starry glitter.”

He adds: “I created several variations to personalise each girl. The glitter was applied in a “stardust” shower on the cheekbones swept up towards the temples. But I also chose the metallic purity of a single, bigger, more ‘rebel attitude’ star placed on the inner corner of each eye or at the centre of the lower lid.”

#7: Dior Addict Lip Sugar Scrub, $58

“Lips were smoothed with the new Lip Sugar Scrub, then lightly enhanced with Dior Addict Lacquer Stick in #550, which I dabbed in the middle of the lower lip. When you keep application light, its creamy texture and discreet shine give the lips a plumped look. Lips are sensual but keep a very natural effect.”
