“We wanted to naturally enhance the already beautiful Joni with a pop of colour on her lips,” says Loren. “I began prepping her skin with the Great Skin Serum ($65 from Merit Beauty), followed by the Great Skin Moisturiser ($63 from Merit Beauty).”

“I buffed in The Minimalist Perfecting Complexion Stick in ‘Bisque’ ($63 from Merit Beauty) only around the nose and chin,” she explains. “And I added a pinch of Flush Balm cheek colour in ‘Stockholm’ ($48 from Merit Beauty) on her cheeks.”

“For her eyes, I began with an all-over Solo Shadow Sheen in ‘Glacé’ ($42 from Merit Beauty) for a gorgeous shimmer, and deepened the lash line with ‘Brun’ ($42 from Merit Beauty) — I finished with Clean Lash Lengthening Mascara ($44 from Merit Beauty),” she went on to say.

“Completing the look; I tinted her lips with Signature Lip in ‘Vermillion’ ($33.60 from Merit Beauty) to make her blue eyes pop,” she explains.
