This time of year, I crave a change in my makeup routine. Gone are the winter’s frosted eyes and ruby lips—instead, I’m completely captivated by the dreamy, pink-toned makeup I saw at LoveShackFancy‘s F/W 26 presentation. If you’re a romantic at heart like I am, you’re going to fall in love with this look faster than I fell for my ex-situationship on Valentine’s Day.

LoveShackFancy’s founder and creative visionary, Rebecca Hessel Cohen, teamed up with Tarte to create an angelic look that perfectly complemented the brand’s delicate and flowy couture. “I have a deep appreciation for femininity, so this look explored monochrome romance,” says Tarte’s lead makeup artist, Shyanna Lundi, noting the soft mauve and rose color palette. “Monochromatic makeup keeps the tones cohesive, so the result feels romantic, modern, and effortless—never overdone.” I was lucky enough to chat with her backstage before the show, so keep reading this extra-special edition of Beauty School to see the step-by-step of this look.

“We began the look with Shape Tape Stick Concealer ($32) under the eyes and around the nose to create sculpted, luminous skin that feels lit from within,” Lundi says. “I used this for its rich coverage and blendability—it perfects the skin while still allowing it to look like real skin. I blended it first with a concealer brush for precision, then pressed it in with my fingers to melt it seamlessly into the skin.” What she told me next had me clutching my pearls: no powder. She skips it to keep the skin glowy. And honestly, as someone who loves a dewy complexion, I fully support it
