Watch Miranda Kerr Apply Her Glowing Wedding Day Makeup
While Miranda Kerr’s custom Dior Haute Couture gown was an awe-inspiring ode to her inspiration, Grace Kelly, her wedding day beauty was fit for a princess, too. “I wanted it to be very simple and timeless,” explains Kerr, who prior to her May nuptials, offered a behind-the-scenes look at her makeup trial, sharing the tricks behind her supernaturally rosy glow.
Clad in a silk floral robe with her brunette lengths smoothed back into a neat bun, Kerr begins by spraying her face with the Balancing Rose Mist from her Kora Organics skin-care range. The replenishing elixir doubles as an emollient for a quick pass of the Nuface Facial Toning device, which she glides along her jawline, underneath her cheekbones, and on the outer corners of the eyes for a subtle lift. A jet-setting supermodel picks up hidden beauty treasures wherever she goes—and as such, Kerr relies on Suqqu’s lightweight foundation with a blending brush to camouflage imperfections. “It’s from Japan, one of my favorite places,” she says with a grin. For extra coverage around the eyes, she tapped on RMS’s brightening “Un” Cover-Up concealer.
“I’m obsessed with blush—I even go so far as to put it up here,” she declares as she brushes La Prairie’s Radiance Cellular Cream Blush in Rose Glow along the brow bones. “It kind of makes the eyes pop, you see?” After a quick clamp of an eyelash curler, she swipes Lancôme's Hypnôse Doll Lashes Mascara on the upper and lower lashes for doe-like fringe.
For Kerr’s big day, the right shade of lipstick is the result of a fine-tuned layering process. She traces Laura Mercier Sheer Lip Color in “Baby Lips” around her mouth, and adds a dab of Dior Lip Glow. Next, she cocktails two different Charlotte Tilbury matte lipstick shades. The first? “Walk of Shame,” a merlot-tinged rose that amplifies her natural lip color. “But I’ll be doing the walk down the aisle,” she clarifies with a smirk. Then, for an extra touch of vibrancy, she adds a veil of deep coral in Amazing Grace.
“Wish me luck—hope I don't cry!” says Kerr, clasping her hands together in a way that’s strikingly similar to images of Kelly taken before her own 1956 ceremony. Coincidence? We think not.
