AMBER’S GUIDE TO TRULY ICONIC GRADUATION GLAM

Graduating from Uni or College (finally!) this month? Look at you GLOW!

Read on as Social and Community Executive, Amber, guides you through her skincare and makeup must-haves for the long-awaited ceremony…

 

Unlike my everyday makeup routine for the whole of last year and this one so far (!) a hurried coat of mascara and a messy bun wasn’t really going cut it when it came to switching my graduation glam ON.

For the class of 2020, getting the recognition for all our hard work after all this time – whether it’s happening IRL or on Zoom - is a moment in our lives that deserves time, effort, and a little ICONIC makeup magic.

SKIN PREP

For a last-minute boost on the morning of my Graduation, I used our complexion-perfecting Ultimate Skin Serum (no unexpected breakouts wanted here, thanks very much!) and applied all over for a bright, bouncy, and radiant base!

For extra help in sculpting your cheekbones and visibly firming-up the skin, I recommend using our 360° roller to distribute the dew all over. This duo make the perfect pamper pair!

FILTER-FINESSED SKIN

You’ve aced your degree, now ace your base! To start my morning makeup routine, I wanted something comfortable to wear that wouldn’t let me down all day. Enter: Our totally ICONIC Radiance Booster to save the day.

I use this stunning skin tint under my favourite foundation for a luminous under-glow. Your ‘gram-worthy grad pics won’t be needing any filters this time, dolls.

FLUFFED-UP BROWS & LIFTED LASHES

With *that* scholar’s cap as your crowning glory, your brows are the main focal point to your grad-glam face, so ensure they make a statement with our ICONIC Brow Silk! This formula is totally clear, so anyone with any shade of eyebrows can wear it! I love it because it’s also flake-free and has a natural finish to create fluffy texture.

No makeup look is complete without some serious lashings of mascara! I minimised the morning stress, forgot about faffing around with falsies, and used our five-star Triple Threat Mascara! An ultra-black, weightless formula that volumizes, lengthens and lifts lashes for dramatic fluttery look? What more could you want?

GLOSSY LIPS

Dewy skin + ultra glossy lips = my favourite makeup look! I kept my lips hydrated all day with our Lustre Lip Oil, which I applied as a ‘glazing’ topcoat to my favourite lipstick, giving me a healthy, nourished shine.

JUST DEW YOU!

Most importantly, however you choose to glam up, remember to have fun and enjoy yourself! You only get one Graduation Day, and all your hard work has paid off. It’s a time to celebrate YOU!
