As well as the scandalous storylines, we couldn't help but notice Phoebe Dynevor's makeup on Bridgerton. Flawless with a middle-of-the-road sheen, it's everything we wish our WFH beauty routines would deliver right now.
Bridgerton has served up some headline-worthy beauty looks - what with 'Bridgerton Brows' set to be the new 'on fleek' brow trend and Jonathan Bailey having makeup applied to his butt for a sex scene.
So when the show's hair and makeup artist, Lynda Pearce (opens in new tab) revealed the actual products she uses to created Daphne Bridgerton's (aka Phoebe's character on the show) glowing complexion our interest peaked.
Daphne's glowing look is inspired by Audrey Hepburn, in the 1950s version of War and Peace. Here's every product used to create her barely-there makeup look.
Skin
The difference between so-so makeup and great makeup is the prep work. Namely using a primer to give your makeup a base and to create a smooth, even starting point for the products you apply next.
Pearce relied on Ole Henriksen Banana Bright Face Primer (opens in new tab), a cult behind-the-scenes primer courtesy of skin-brightening vitamin C (opens in new tab)and with a subtle yellow hue. Inspired by the old-school makeup artist trick 'banana powder' (to color-correct and set makeup), it erases any shadows or dark circles from your face, especially under lights.
Base
Then for the foundation, Pearce applied Chanel Vitalumier Aqua Ultra-Light Skin Perfecting Makeup (opens in new tab). "Where any extra coverage was needed I used @bobbibrown (opens in new tab) concealer. To conceal the under eye I used @yslbeauty (opens in new tab) Touche Éclat," explains Pearce.
She used a light dusting of Chanel Powder Universelle Libre Natural Finish Loose Powder (opens in new tab) to set everything in place.
"A little top tip... on set, for cheeks, I used @maccosmetics Matte to touch up areas that were shiny. This product is great for taking shine off the skin, without getting the caked look you can sometimes get from too much powder. It also allows the natural dewiness of the skin to come through."
Blush
It's rumored that Stila Convertible Colour in Lillium (opens in new tab) was the blusher of choice for Daphne's pretty flushed cheeks. That said, we're unlikely to need any help in the blush department after THAT infamous scene with the Duke of Hastings licking a spoon (which now has its own Instagram account @thedukesspoon (opens in new tab)).
