RED CARPET REALNESS OSCARS STYLE PART 1

#GLAMOROUS #SKIN

Who doesn’t love watching all the makeup and dress looks on the red carpet at the Oscars? Oscar night brings out the most sophisticated Hollywood glamour that we all aspire to do our own version of it. That is my “red carpet realness”. Taking the look and creating a version of it or making it our own. I LOVE to do full on makeup for the red carpet. Nothing is more satisfying than taking a blank canvas and making it into glowing masterpiece with a big happy smile. I am known and specifically booked for my skin, foundation technique, which I refer as “marinated” skin. Meaning seamless, hydrated, luminous skin that gets better with wear. If you follow the next steps using these “ingredients”, you will have your own perfect red carpet plus everyday glow.

My number one rule is to prep the skin first. Apply a mask like Tatcha’s Luminous Dew Skin Mask or Luminous Deep Hydration Lifting Mask, both are great after a long day and or long flight. I follow with Tatcha’s The Dewy Skin Cream, then The Silk Canvas + Becca’s First Light Primer. This combination is a holy grail of prepping your skin into a flawless canvas. Think of a painter applying gesso to the canvas before painting.

Clinique’s Smart Clinical MD Multi-Dimensional Age Transformer Duo Resculpt + Revolumize Cream is another winner for supple, glowing skin.

Stay tuned for my next post covering the best foundations and other tips and tricks.

Get Your Glow On...The Perfect Skin

GLOW BABY GLOW

One of the questions I get the most is how to achieve beautiful, glowing skin. In a day when makeup is layered on so heavy, it becomes a mask, creating beautiful, touchable, relatable makeup can be a challenge. The key to still having a “glow” as well as a bit of sculpting etc. is to prep your skin extremely well. It is like a painter applying gesso to a canvas prior to the paint, it smooths out the surface.

Here are some of my favorite products to create the perfect layered glow:

My two all time favourite oils: Drunk Elephant Marula Oil and Paula’s Choice Moisture Renewal Oil Booster Both of these oils hydrate the skin to perfection that create an all day glow.

Primer: Becca Cosmetics Base Light and First Light Filter Primers + LORAC Glass Primer

Foundation: Armani Fluid Sheer is an iconic favourite, creating a flawless finish. Charlotte Tilbury’s Light Wonder is a personal favourite. LORAC is releasing their PRO SOFT FOCUS Foundation. I went to the exclusive launch event at the Edition Hotel in NYC. The foundation is pretty remarkable.

Concealer: LORAC PRO Soft Focus Longwear Concealer + Becca’s New Light Shifting Brightening Concealer leave a lovely halo of coverage without heaviness. #glowworthy

Highlighter: Favourites: Fenty Beauty KILLAWATT Highlighters in Mean Money/ Hu$tla Baby, Lightning Dust/ Fire Crystal, Ginger Binge/ Moscow Mule are personal favourites. Becca’s Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter Opal, Champagne Pop, Moonstone and Topaz Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter is a winner as well.

Beauty Facial Sprays: There are so many in the market, my personal favourites are: Caudalie Beauty Elixir (a cult favourite as well, link below) Becca Skin Love Glow Shield Prime & Set Mist and Tatcha Luminous Dewy Skin Mist

I love to add a little extra gleam to the high points of the face. Trilogy Everything Balm is an all purpose balm that smells incredible and can be used all over the face.
