Skin Preparation
Ok so we started with the all important skin preparation…..serum or cream? Cream is food for the
skin and serum is gym for the skin using Forever Youth Liberator Serum 30ml for elasticity and
smoothness to the skin. Followed by Forever Eye Serum 15ml dabbing under the key with your ring
finger then lightly pinching the area to activate the serum.
Followed by the Instant Glow moisturiser that hydrates the skin for 72 hours and finally the Touche
Eclat Blur Primer to Illuminate the skin and blur any imperfections here.
YSL Makeup
Then he applied All Hours foundation. Again, totally different technique than the audience was used
to. He mixed together the primer, highlighter and foundation and the mixture applied to the models
face. Less than two minutes. But the result was amazing. Just a glowing skin. The concealer just
helped to perfect the overall look here.
Contouring with YSL makeup
Finally someone explained me super simple technique. Combine dark and light colour and with round motion apply just below the cheekbones (start from the middle of the ear area with the direction to the lips). Than use just the light colour to smooth out the edges. Bronzer comes right after. Start again at ear area,h2 but go with the direction to the nose. Don’t forget to apply a bit of a bronze as well next to your eyes. The result? Subtle glow like you have just returned from your holidays here.
Brows, Eyes & Masscara
Using the eyebrow pencil dot on the brow and brush through to create the shape you desire. Mix contour palette and bronzer using on the lid and socket followed by eyeliner, and The Shock Mascara to finish .
