Radiant Bridal Evening Glam

In this tutorial, Hannah and I recreate the iconic Maura Higgins BAFTA 2026 makeup look – a modern, red-carpet style that perfectly balances elegance with bold definition. This look is all about radiant, flawless skin paired with striking eye definition and a beautifully cohesive colour story across the cheeks and lips.

This look is perfect for an evening tradition, pre wedding dinner or rehearsals. 

Throughout this tutorial, you’ll learn how to create a soft, luminous complexion that looks polished yet natural, using strategic layering of creams and powders to achieve long-lasting radiance without heaviness. We focus on enhancing the skin so it feels fresh and elevated, making it the perfect base for a statement eye.

The key feature of this look is the sharp winged liner, designed to elongate and lift the eye while keeping the overall eye makeup clean and refined. You’ll see how to achieve a crisp, precise wing that frames the eyes without overpowering the softness of the skin.

To complete the look, we recreate Maura’s monochromatic blush and lip combination, featuring a stronger flush of colour on the cheeks paired with a matching lip tone. This technique ties the entire look together, creating a harmonious, red-carpet finish that feels modern, fresh and beautifully balanced.

This tutorial is perfect for artists who want to learn how to combine statement elements with soft, radiant skin, creating a glamorous yet wearable look inspired by one of the most talked-about beauty moments from the BAFTAs.
