I like to mist with this after rinsing or throughout the day to refresh. It’s antibacterial so a trick my derm taught me is to spritz the inside of your mask when you have to wear one with it to prevent breakouts
Here’s the derm line I like for adding moisture and addressing pigmentation. Apply the serum after misting before moisturizer. It be used underneath the eyes as well.
This is the cream we used on you. I keep a full size at home and a small one for travel. You may want to also play with a drop of your anrgan oil mixed in here to add even more of that dewy finish. Definitely absorbs best on damp skin so right out of the shower/ post face wash or mist and serum will yield the best result
MAC | Studio Radiance Face and Body Radiant Sheer Foundation shade C3
Apply this after your skincare with fingertips starting in the center of the face with less as you get out towards the edges. Bounce over it with your damp beautyblender which I’ll link below
KULFI BEAUTY | Main Match Crease-Proof Long-Wear Hydrating Concealer - Coco Crush (Light-medium W/ Neutral Undertones
Apply to the inner corner of eye beside nose and in the half moon shape underneath then pat to blend with either a fluffy synthetic brush, mini beauty blender which I’ll link below or ring finger. Use your Jones Road No. 9 pencil on any red areas of face to neutralize.
WESTMAN ATELIER | Beauty Butter Powder Bronzer in Coup De Soleil
I’ll send you a video showing placement for this but basically it’s horizontally across forehead / temples/ cheeks and down center of nose where the sun would hit. Work in thin layers and apply with a big fluffy brush - I’ll link a great one below. Remember how we pinched brush and applied a bit to creases of eyes as well - same technique as below one I list for the MAC Paintpot and may be used before or after it- play around with the order.
From right to left: Use the big brush for your bronzer, big shadow brush for crease color , flat brush for your medium grey dior tone on lids to smoke out your eye and small one for applying liner (VB cinnamon I’ll link below) beneath eyes.
I love these blushes! Beverly Hills is the pinky peach we used. Stockholm is a lovely cool pink that’s pretty when you want something a little fresher. Apres is a gorgeous plum you can also dab on lips.
Use the shade Groundwork (a soft taupe) on bare eyelids or over your concealer- place it in and above your crease to optically lift eyes. Take a fluffy shadow brush and gaze straight into mirror. Place brush above crease and use a windshield wiper motion to apply there, finishing with up and outward strokes to lift and lengthen.
Use Cinnamon under lower lashes and apply/ blend out with a small pencil brush like the rephr one listed above Connect to top liner at outer corner Other colors that would be gorge on you: Fig (a plum) and navy- those are more for your evening looks but the cinnamon underneath may be worn day or night
I find this No. 2 pencil to be the perfect nude lip liner- soft so it doesn’t look lip liner-y and not orange just a your-lips-bumped-up-a-notch shade.
WESTMAN ATELIER | Squeaky Clean Liquid Lip Balm in Ma Puce
A translucent popsicle pout that works on its own, over lip pencil, and also plays well over nudes like your Chanel Madmoiselle. I’ll list a couple other shades that would be gorg on you below as well.
WESTMAN ATELIER | Squeaky Clean Liquid Lip Balm Duo
This one has a plum that’s really good for winter and a nude gloss you can play with over pinky lipsticks to pale them out without making them wash you out like a nude lipstick could.
CHANEL | Baume Essentiel Multi-Use Glow Stick in Transparent
Here is the clear balm that goes great on cheek and brow bones. Works day or night and is more subtle than some of the other pearly highlighters on the market . If you want the one I used on you during your lesson I’ll link that below as an option- they’re very similar.
Beautyblender Micro Pro: Mini Makeup Blending Sponges
Remember to dampen with warm water and dry in a paper towel about 80% It should double in size when damp Use to soften concealer/ eyeshadow/ blush Also may be used as an eraser: Bounce over the concealer on your hand to load up the sponge then over any edges you’d like to soften
Always good to have a full sized option as well for blending foundation, blush, etc. Tips same as with above micro blenders. Clean with solid soap after every few uses which I’ll list below.
That solid soap I was talking about great for cleaning your blender (aim for once a week) and brushes (aim for once a month). The scrubby mat included with the soap is great for getting out any stubborn pigment. Run your soapy brush over it and then rinse in the palm of your hand til water runs clean.
A great workhorse eyeshadow brush at a good price point. I buy in multiples and use one for cream shadows like the MAC Paintpot, one for smokey eyeshadows, one for blending concealer.
