"Next, I followed up with Veil Cosmetics Complexion Fix as both a concealer and highlighter, mostly under the eyes and on high points. I then airbrushed Temptu's silicone based Airbrush Makeup on the skin, avoiding the silicone pieces."

Herta got creative through customization with the look, too. Especially when it came to that killer highlight.

"Lastly, I lightly dusted a custom mixed Stroboscope color," she said. "I blended a color just for this campaign for Moonplay Cosmetics. All these steps helped to give that ethereal glow and illusion this skin was a reality."
