How To âDewâ It in 5 Steps:
Step 1: Prep Skin
With every makeup application I always tell clients, âthe skin you start with is the skin you end withâŚâ â meaning that no amount of makeup, even expertly applied, will yield the best result unless skin is prepped beforehand. Always take time to cleanse your skin and pat on a light moisturizer such as Hydra Balance Smart Moisturizer or a few drops of Know-It-Oil before you start.
Step 2:Â Let-Your-Skin-Glow-Through Foundation
Use two pumps of our skin-loving non-makeup Skintangible “BBBB” Cream and disperse onto skin evenly with clean fingertips. I absolutely love this product because itâs shade-matching meaning there is no guesswork as to whether itâs the right color for you. When in doubt, start in the center of your face and blend outwards.
Step 3: Time to Highlight!
Swipe Boldly Glow Coconut Oil Skin Bloom Blush Stick in Luminous onto tops of cheekbones, down the line of your nose, on the cupidâs bow of lips and also to inner corner of eyes. This illuminating cream stick is the key that radiant âi-woke-up-like-thisâ glow. Itâs filled with super hydrating organic cold pressed coconut oil, so it melts into skin effortlessly. Bonus points: encased in iridescent crushed mother of pearl from the PhilippinesâŚthe packaging is seriously next-level gorgeous.
Step 4: Define the Eyes
Give your lashes a boost with my all time favorite Ooh-La-Lash! Volumizing Mascara. Try it once and youâll be forever obsessed! The magic is in the way the formula cocoons each lash hair in product for buildable volume that doesnât smear. Apply from root to lash ends. Then go back over top with another coat just on the center of lashes above the iris. This really opens and defines the eyes.
Step 5: Red Lips Statement
Now comes the bright pop of color! Use Skintelligent Beauty Lip Brush with Velvet Matte Lipstick in Light My Fire for precise application. I believe everyone can wear a red lip and this shade specifically is one of the most universally flattering ones Iâve ever come across. Bonus points: it has a touch of blue undertones so it makes your teeth look whiter! Start with the cupidâs bow, then line your bottom lip, then extend color down the sides of lips and fill in completely. Use a tissue to blot, if needed.
