Whether you’ve been sat in your garden with the girls or have spent all day at the beach, there’s something pretty mesmerising about golden hour. That dreamy time of day when everything is bathed in a warm, ethereal light… the sundowners are flowing, your skin is glowing and life just feels… vibey! Right!?

Well, we wanted to capture those mysteriously magical hours in a bottle, so that we can bathe in the beauty of golden hour all summer long. And luckily for you babes, we’ve nailed it. From a radiant complexion to luminous lips, we’ve come up with the perfect sundowner makeup look that’ll ensure your glow keeps on giving all night long.

Step 1: Ramp up the Radiance

We know that the key to a lit-from-within glow is all about the prep work. To lay the foundation for a gorgeously glossy complexion, start with our Radiance Booster. This little beauty works wonders to brighten and illuminate your skin, creating the perfect canvas for the rest of your makeup. Apply a small amount and sweep it over your face with your favourite ICONIC brush for an instant boost of radiance.

Step 2: Sun-Kissed Skin

Next up: we want to create a really natural-looking ‘just rolled in from the beach’ bronze. For this, reach for our gorgeous Sheer Bronze and Glossing Brush. Sweep a couple of drops of bronzer across your cheekbones, temples, and jawline to add warmth and create a sun-kissed luminosity to the skin. Our ICONIC Glossing Brush ensures a seamless application, blending the product effortlessly for a natural, golden glow.

Step 3: Hero Highlight

There’s something about golden hour that really catches the light on your skin like nothing else. To get the glow all day long, apply our iconic Illuminator to the high points of your face. Dab it onto your cheekbones, brow bone, and down the bridge of your nose for an instant lit-from-within radiance. The soft, pearlescent finish will leave you with a dewy, golden glow that catches the light beautifully. (Pro tip: A dot at the cupid’s bow will help your lips look fuller and more kissable!)

Step 4: Summer Flush

To help set your base, add a touch of colour and sun-kissed warmth to your skin, our new Kissed By The Sun blusher is perfect. Using our Cheek Glow Duo Brush, sweep the blush over the apples of your cheeks, blending it upward towards your temples. Then, take the blusher over the bridge of your nose to really recreate that summer warmth. The mixture of warmth, colour and glow adds dimension and a healthy flush to your complexion, giving an overall sun-kissed effect that can’t be recreated with anything else.

Step 5: Catch The Light

Let your eyes shimmer and sparkle through sunset and beyond with our gorgeous Glaze Crayons. These versatile and easy-to-use eyeshadow sticks come in a range of golden shades that are perfect for recreating that long hot summer vibe. Apply the golden glaze directly onto your lids, blending it with your fingertips or favourite fluffy brush to create a gorgeously soft, golden haze. The creamy formula ensures a long-lasting, crease-proof finish which is perfect for capturing that mesmerizing golden hour allure.

Step 6: Mesmer-eyezing Lashes

For a full, fluffy lash look, coat your lashes with Triple Threat Mascara. Our best-selling formula delivers length, volume, and curl in one, making your lashes appear fuller and more defined. Its jet-black formula adds intensity and drama to your eyes, ensuring they truly stand out amidst the golden glow. Go forth and flutter, babes.

Step 7: Lustrous Lips

For a radiant summer pout, we like to keep things easy – which is where a swipe of Lustre Lip Oil is perfect. Infused with nourishing oils, this iconic lip oil hydrates and softens your pout while providing a sheer wash of colour and a glossy, non-sticky finish. Choose a shade that complements your golden hour look, be it a soft nude or a rosy hue, and let your lips glisten with luminosity.

Step 8: Set and Glow

To lock in your golden hour glow, spritz our iconic Prep-Set-Glow all over your face, neck and decolletage. Our award-winning multitasking spray not only sets your makeup in place but also adds an extra boost of radiance. Its light-reflecting particles create a dewy, ethereal finish, ensuring your glow lasts throughout the day or night. What’s better? Pop one in your bag so that you can glow on the go…

Et voila! It’s time to bask in the beauty of your own golden hour glow… now someone pass us an aperol spritz!
