Whether you've been chilling in your backyard with your girlfriends or spent all day at the beach, there's something pretty great about golden hour. That gorge time of day when everything is bathed in a warm, otherworldly light... the drinks are flowing, your skin is radiant, and life just feels... well, pretty awesome, right!?
Here at ICONIC HQ, we wanted to capture those mysteriously magical hours in a bottle, so that we can basically soak up the beauty of golden hour… all summer long. And luckily for you babes, we've nailed it. From a glowing complexion to luminous lips, we've come up with the perfect sunset-inspired makeup look that'll ensure your glow keeps shining all night long. Ready to ramp up that radiance? We’ve got you covered…
Step 1: Boost your Radiance
We know that the secret to a lit-from-within glow is all about the prep work. To ensure an all-over gorge and glossy complexion, start with our Radiance Booster. This little babe 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 favorite ride-or-die ICONIC brush for an instant boost of radiance and seriously iconic glow up.
Step 2: Summer Skin, Sorted
Let’s be honest, a summer makeup look is all about that gorgeously, golden bronzer. To recreate a really natural-looking 'just rolled in from the beach' tan, Sheer Bronze is the one. Using our iconic Glossing Brush (that’s been specifically developed to work alongside liquid products), 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: Get Lit With Illuminator
There's something about golden hour that really makes your skin glow like nothing else. Well… nearly. Because we’re gonna go ahead and say it: Illuminator serves us up that sundowner skin all year round. Apply a couple of drops of Illuminator to the high points of your face and 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, glossy finish that expertly catches the light – leaving you with a stunning ICONIC summer glow.
Step 4: Flirty Flush
To help set your base, add a touch of color and sun-kissed warmth to your complexion, our brand new Kissed By The Sun blush is ideal. Using the Cheek Glow Duo Brush, sweep the blush over the apples of your cheeks, blending it upward towards your temples. Then, take the blush over the bridge of your nose to give your skin an added glow. The mix of warmth, color, and glow adds dimension and a healthy flush to your complexion, giving an overall sun-kissed effect that leaves your skin looking like you’ve spent an entire afternoon sunbathing.
Step 5: That Twinkle In Your Eye
Allow your eyes to shimmer through sunset and beyond with our stunning Glaze Crayons. These dreamy little eyeshadow sticks are versatile and super easy-to-use, with gorgeous golden shades that are perfect for recreating that sundowner summer vibe. Apply the golden glaze directly onto your eyelids, effortlessly blending it with your fingertips or go-to fluffy brush for an irresistibly soft and dreamy golden haze. The creamy formula guarantees a long-lasting, crease-proof finish that perfectly captures the enchanting allure of golden hour.
Step 6: Mesmerizing Lashes
For full, va-va-voom worthy lashes, coat your lashes with our seriously iconic Triple Threat Mascara. Our best-selling formula gives you length, volume, and curl in one, making your lashes appear fuller, fluttery and more defined. Its jet-black formula adds intensity and drama to your eyes, ensuring they catch the light amidst the golden glow. You’ll be batting ‘em away babes.
Step 7: Prettify Your Pout
For a perfectly pretty summer pout, we like to keep things easy – which is where a swipe of Lustre Lip Oil is ideal. Infused with nourishing oils, this iconic lip oil hydrates and softens your lips while providing a sheer wash of color and a glossy, non-sticky finish. Choose a shade that complements your golden hour look, whether it's a soft honey nude or a rosy-toned hue, and let your lips shine with luminosity.
Step 8: Spritz and Glow
To ensure your golden hour glow lasts as long as you do, spritz our best-selling Prep-Set-Glow all over your face, neck, and décolletage. 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. Wanna know our top tip? Keep one in your bag at all times so that you can glow on the go...
And there you have it babes. It's now time to bask in the beauty of your own golden hour glow... someone pass us a spicy marg!
