💖 Getting Ready for a Wedding Diner in Mali 💖

For this wedding season, I wanted a flirty, flawless look that holds up in this Malian heat 😫🇲🇱! Here’s how I created this dreamy wedding glam:

1. Flawless Base: I started with ** @narsissist soft matte Concealer** to cover up hyperpigmentation and brighten my under-eye area. It’s the perfect creamy formula for smooth, full coverage that doesn’t feel heavy. 

2. **Bake & Set:** To keep everything in place all night, I baked with ** @hudabeauty Baking Powder**. It mattifies without drying and makes sure my makeup lasts through the celebrations! 

3. **Lashes That WOW:** False lashes are a must for wedding glam. These lashes from @kissproducts give my eyes the perfect sultry look - subtle but there- for a special occasion. 

4. **Liquid Blush Glow:** I used **Rare Beauty’s Liquid Blush** (not featured in the video, but trust me, it’s a *game changer*) for a natural flush of color and a soft, matte skin-like finish. It blends seamlessly and gives me that bridal flush! 

5. **Dreamy Pink Lips:** To finish, I went with a soft, romantic pink lip combo. Perfect for a wedding—flirty yet understated. 💕
