Today I want to launch a challenge to all women who feel inspired to experience this Christmas 2022 in a more empowered way: create your "Glowing Look" for this month of December. And, who knows, you might fall in love with it and adopt it as your new look for the new year 2023. I am excited and have already prepared mine. Curious?
BEFORE
Ever since I tried Martiderm's Black Diamond ampoules I haven't left them out of my daily beauty ritual before putting on makeup. Did you know that they can even be used to replace day cream and sunscreen on combination to oily skin? As is my case, I use it in the morning after cleansing my skin, before putting on foundation. For me, it also replaces a radiance primer, leaving the skin smooth and evenly textured right after application.
For me, the complexion makeup is the most important thing, and where I appreciate is the revelation of healthy, luminous skin suited to every woman's skin tone. A light foundation with natural coverage is my priority. Touche Éclat Le Teint has a moisturizing, pigment-blended formula for a sophisticated "touch" to the routine. I don't always put on concealer because a large majority of it accumulates in expression lines and wrinkles after a few hours, so my trick is to use a light, shapable, luminous texture like Maybelline's Instant Anti Age Multipurpose Concealer. Enriched with Gogi Berry and Haloxyl™, its formula offers hydration for up to 12 hours without drying or creasing. A silky, translucent feelsuitable for all skin types and tones, it allows makeup to set all day long while giving the complexion a luminous, fresh finish.
A healthy touch, for a "sun-kissed" skin essential in my routine, is Terracotta Light powder, now in a new formula with 96% naturally sourced ingredients. This powder contains a unique combination of 4 shades: a satin bronzed shade, a matte tone-on-tone shade, a vibrant blush and a universal illuminator available in 6 harmonies that reveal a natural luminosity for all skin tones. For an extra touch of light on your face we can use L.A. Girl Velvet Hi-Lite Contour Stick on the points to highlight on the face.
AFTER
For eye makeup, I like to apply nude shades and play a bit with the intensity of the look depending on the occasion. MAC Cosmetics' Eye Shadow X9 Semi-Sweet Times Nine palette is a safe bet and indispensable for any occasion, from the most natural to the most sophisticated look. If you like more definition, you can apply Shiseido Kajal Inkartist.
To complete, I like to apply an eyelash mascara with a care that protects the lashes. Lancôme's new Le 8 Hypnôse lash mascara is a great option, with an innovative formula that contains 88% active black balm and 8 revitalizing amino acids encapsulated in pure glass that make lashes stronger, stronger, and visibly fuller in just 4 weeks.
Red is undoubtedly the color that represents passion, but it also takes us back to this Christmas season. Thus, Rouge Dior 999 and Le Vernis 08 are choices that represent a passionate and vibrant elegance that completes.
