I like to maintain a certain sense of fantasy in my life… It’s important to have fun with whatever you’re doing – makeup, your clothes, art – anything you don’t need to take too seriously, don’t take too seriously.

Cleanse your skin using Clinique Liquid Mild Facial Soap then prep your skin and moisturize with Clinique Clarifying Lotion 2 Facial Astringent and apply Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion. Use Chanel Ultra Correction Lift Total Eye Lift under your eyes – This a GREAT product that both moisturizer and firms your skin while reducing dark circles and puffiness; this is something which comes in handy when you’re working and traveling as often as I am! Then spritz your face with EVIAN Mineral Water Facial Spray.
After your moisture is locked in you skin it is time to begin applying your cosmetics! Begin by using BOBBI BROWN SPF 15 Tinted Moisturizer Oil Free in Light Tint all over your face. For CONTOUR use Chanel Luminizing Foundation under the cheekbones and around the hairline. Then, SET your face with Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder. Use BOBBI BROWN Bronzing Powder in Natural – Medium Soft Tan to define the contour of your cheeks and apply BOBBI BROWN Shimmer Brick in Nectar – This shimmering brush-on powder will give you skin a soft, luscious GLOW.
For your eyes use the BOBBI BROWN Nude Eye Palette (a four-color palette that is the perfect mix of colors) ALL OVER the eyelids and putting the Warm Nude all over the lid combined with Soft Pink and apply Light Gray in the crease of your eyes and be sure to BLEND. To make your eyebrows richer and more defined use Laura Mercier Eyebrow Pencil in Auburn. To line your lashes, one of the best long-wear products is BOBBI BROWN Eye Pencil in Blackest Black – It is an easy to apply richly pigmented eyelines that gives intense definition. Then SUBTLY smoke-out blend Laura Mercier Eye Color in African Violet – as my eyes are green the contrast of purple to give my eyes an extra pop.
Use Laura Mercier Secret Concealer and then SET your concealer using the same Laura Mercier’s Translucent Loose Setting Powder.
CURL your lashes and apply lots of CLINIQUE Lash Power Full Flutter Mascara in Black Onyx – This a smudge-resistant mascara that creates length and gives you a feathery-soft look, it’s AMAZING!
To complete your look put on BOBBI BROWN Brightening Lip Gloss in Pale Icy Pink – I LOVE how this gloss is reflective and sheer making your lips appear fuller.
