In My Bathroom: Sydney J. Harper’s Everyday Contour Technique

When it comes to mimicking the glow-inducing effects of the sun, placement is everything. For Los Angeles-based model Sydney J. Harper—who has a depth of makeup artistry knowledge thanks to her burgeoning career in front of the camera—faking sun-kissed definition is a clever endeavor. By lightly contouring her eye sockets, topping peachy blush with warm-toned bronzer, and implementing all three luminizers from a coordinated palette, her go-to radiant summer makeup look is both subtle and striking.

For this week’s In My Bathroom, Harper is walking us through an everyday beauty look perfect for the final warm weeks of the season.
