VIOLETTE_FR | Boum-Boum Milk

VIOLETTE_FR | Boum-Boum Milk

Here is that mist I was talking about that can serve as your 2-in-1 toner and lightweight moisturizer. When skin is damp fresh out of the shower, mist several times into palms of hands and gently massage into face. Allow a few minutes for product to soak in before you move onto your concealer (if not possible, lightly tissue off excess before beginning makeup). Also available in a mini size if you’d like to try it first.

LA ROCHE-POSAY | Toleriane Rosaliac AR Redness Reducing Face Moisturizer For Sensitive Skin

LA ROCHE-POSAY | Toleriane Rosaliac AR Redness Reducing Face Moisturizer For Sensitive Skin

Another lightweight moisturizer option- may also be applied over your toner (boum boum mist or Tower28 SOS spray I’ll link below).

TOWER 28 | SOS Spray Duo

TOWER 28 | SOS Spray Duo

I keep one of these in my gym bag and one in my top shelf. It contains hypochlorus acid which is supposed to keep redness and breakouts at bay. I like to mist it before moisturizer as well as at the end of a makeup application especially if I’ve powdered to help everything settle and look like real skin.

Sheer Tinted Brow Gel

Sheer Tinted Brow Gel

This is the upgraded version of your Boybrow of we used to softly define your brows without getting too heavy in tone or texture. Remember how I started at the outer 3rd of your brow, backcombing to add fullness then brushing back into place in the opposite direction towards your temples. Work your way in so that by the time you get to the inner 1/3 of brows there’s hardly anything on your brush. Allow that to dry and if you wish, add a touch of taupe brow pencil to further define arches.

KOSAS | Brow Pop Clean Dual-Action Defining Eyebrow Pencil in Taupe

KOSAS | Brow Pop Clean Dual-Action Defining Eyebrow Pencil in Taupe

Try this brow pencil when you want to create a touch more definition. May be used under or over brow gel- just be sure brows are dry so if you’re right out of the shower pat over brows with a towel to make sure product sticks. Try using the wider end of the pencil to shade the skin under your brows, holding pencil lightly and applying just a little bit of pressure. Comb through with spoolie on the opposite end to blend. If you’ve applied too much, use a qtip to remove excess or gently powder over top (don’t powder over brow gel though as that can become cakey- only use a q-tip if you’ve already gelled:)

VIOLETTE_FR | Bisou Blush in Louise

Softly smile and apply this to the apples of cheeks, using gentle patting motions to blend the edges. You may also like using the (washable/ removable) brush on the opposite end of the blush stick to blend or a damp beauty blender dipped into a bit of your concealer (both of which I’ll list below). Check out my latest Instagram reel for a short tutorial on application of this blush if you need a visual- in the reel I’m using a pinker color but the application is the same.

BEAUTYBLENDER | Beautyblender Pro

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 .

BEAUTYBLENDER | Solid BlenderCleanser - Lavender

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.

KULFI | Main Match Crease-Proof Long-Wear Hydrating Concealer - Ice Ice Berry

This is the concealer I used underneath your eyes. Remember how I had you bow your head slightly down and apply to the half moon shape beneath your eyes and a bit at the inner corner beside your nose. Than simple dab to blend with your ring finger. Dip some in the damp Beautyblender and bounce over any areas where you want to neutralize redness like nose, chin, generally through center of your face. You may set with a touch of powder like the Charlotte Tilbury one I’ll list in your night collection to minimize creases and keep it on longer

WESTMAN ATELIER | Squeaky Clean Liquid Lip Balm in Nana

Nice easy day option for a lip gloss/ balm hybrid that’s not sticky. If you’re interested in playing with a red without something that requires much maintenance, try the shade Pipsqueak - it’s a super wearable brick red that you could almost apply without a mirror. Garconne is a dusty rose I also love.

HENNÉ ORGANICS | Luxury Lip Tint - Blissful

This is another super easy lip tint - think glorified chapstick with better ingredients. Blissful is your natural lip tone bumped up a few notches. There’s also a red tone called Desire that’s more of a sheer tomato that could be fun! Bare and Sunlit are a good everyday colors.

Beautyblender Micro Pro: Mini Makeup Blending Spongesl

A mini version of the Beautyblender that’s great for getting into smaller spaces like under eye and corners of nose
