Morena Baccarin’s “Easy Skincare” Calls for Face Oil and Naps

For the last two decades, the actress Morena Baccarin has honed her craft across film and television, rising to fame on the cult favorite Firefly, earning an Emmy nomination for her work on Homeland, and playing the female lead in the Deadpool franchise.

Hannah Betts's Better...not younger: How eyeshadow has suddenly hit a purple patch

Say ‘very peri’ to a woman in midlife and you’re likely to get punched. When my inbox filled up with the term in early December, I assumed I was being trolled.

Clothes like these are a secret language, communicating wealth only to those in the know.

“The rules for wearing red lipstick are that there are no rules, just like in Fight Club,” Debbie Harry tells me over e-mail when I ask her to describe the ethos behind her standout makeup looks. Who am I to argue with the Blondie legend when it comes to red lipstick decorum? Her iconic on-and-off stage beauty looks, after all, were constant, indelible perfection—in part due to the fact that she never shied away from a bold red lip (accompanied, of course, by layers of sexy blonde locks swooped over one eye and a fierce jolt of confidence).

11 Eye Makeup Removers That Simplify Your Cleansing Routine

When it comes to beauty, there are a few rules—the most important of which is to never go to bed with makeup on. Ever. Speaking in absolutes may seem extreme, but in this case, we’re adamant in making our case. Consider this ultimate PSA: improper (or straight-up, lack of) eye makeup removal can affect eye, lash, and brow health. And yes, we know, we know: the last thing we want to do at the end of a long day is remove our makeup, but trust us. With the right eye makeup remover, it’ll feel less like an obligation and more like a staple part of your evening skincare ritual. Of course, thorough facial cleansing is equally important, as this will save your silk pillowcases and sheets from hard-to-clean mascara smudges.

The 13 Foundations Celebrity Makeup Artists Always Use on Women Over 40

As someone who has a 71-year-old beauty fanatic as her mother (surprising I became a beauty editor, right?), I know all too well the trials and tribulations surrounding foundation and mature skin.

Kate Hudson’s Ambiguously Retro Glam Is A Nod To Several Bygone Eras

It’s still early days, but it seems safe to say that nostalgic glam has the 2020s in a chokehold. Trends from the ‘90s and early 2000s such as money piece highlights and French manicures are undoubtedly at the forefront, but styles inspired by the ‘60s, ‘70s, and ‘80s are becoming just as prevalent.

These are the best foundations for every skin type

Our Zoom-filled days of the recent have now combined with IRL events for maximum face time, and we’re looking at our reflections like never before.

15 Top-Rated Foundations for Your Dewiest Skin Ever

As much as we’d like our complexion to look naturally plump and radiant at all times, that’s not always so easy. A carefully curated skincare routine may help in time, but a top-rated, dewy foundation will help you instantly achieve the look you want.

Holiday Makeup: Kim Kardashian’s Makeup Artist Tells You How To Glow at Your Next Party

Festive season is upon us, and for those keen on a little glow and sparkle, a well-honed holiday makeup look is a must. Given that there’s every excuse for a little extra shine, smoke, and, yes, sculpt, who better than the reigning king of contour Mario Dedivanovic to be our guide for a scene-stealing look?   “It’s that time of year where you can really have fun and feel more confident trying something new and different,” says Dedivanovic of executing a deliciously daring holiday makeup strategy. “You tend to be a little bit more bold and playful.” Here, the pro behind Kim Kardashian‘s preternatural glow reveals his holiday party-ready tricks and techniques, from crafting a perfect canvas to executing his signature “soft sculpting” and “lip lift” techniques.  Activate a Luminous Glow After prepping the skin with a veil of emollient moisturizer, such as Tatcha’s Dewy Skin Cream, to keep makeup set for longer, Dedivanovic suggests upping the wattage for a look that “glows at night” by tapping Elizabeth Arden’s balmy Eight Hour Cream onto the center of the lids or lips for an “extra bit of glossiness.” For a natural luminosity, use a featherweight liquid foundation like the Koh Gen Do Aqua Foundation or something even lighter like Laura Mercier’s Tinted Moisturizer that will blend seamlessly into the skin for subtle, nearly imperceptible coverage.  Sculpt and Highlight Imperceptibly “Now that everyone knows how to contour and it’s become part of their everyday beauty routine, people are realizing that you can achieve a sculpted look with a lot less makeup,” says Dedivanovic of pioneering his “soft sculpting” technique. To apply bronzer, use a tapered contour brush and a powder formula that’s not too warm or red-toned like Dedivanovic’s Makeup by Mario Soft Sculpt Bronzer. Start slightly above the hollows of the cheeks, then “blend upward to subtly lift the skin and add some warmth,” instructs Dedivanovic. “This will create a natural sculpt.” Then, add a wash of contour on the eyes for an overall more “natural, monochromatic” effect. For highlighting, Dedivanovic recommends wetting a highlighter brush before dipping it into a powder highlighter, such as his Soft Glow formula, and applying it evenly and softly on the high planes of the face so that it builds for a “melted” effect. “Instead of the product sitting on the skin, it feels like it’s a part of it,” says Dedivanovic.    Photo: Instagram.com/kimkardashian  Smoke the Eyes Effortlessly “When I think of the holiday season, my mind goes straight to creamy metallic eyeshadows you can apply in one swipe,” explains Dedivanovic, whose Master Metals eyeshadow palette pigments can be transformed with a few drops of his pro mixing liquid to create a molten, liquid foil effect. If you’re partial to powder, wet one or more of the bold, shimmering shades from holiday party-ready The Nudes 3 palette with a brush and blend into lids to smoky effect. Alternatively, when using eyeliner, rim the upper and lower lash lines with an eye brush to blend out the lines for another “instant smoky eye.”  Give Yourself a Lip Lift “I’m just loving matte lips right now,” says Dedivanovic. “For the holidays, it’s all about those bold berries and deeper reds—they’re very wearable.” To create the illusion of fuller lips, look to Dedivanovic’s TikTok-viral “lip lift” strategy, which consists of slightly overlining the upper lip line, paying most attention to the Cupid’s bow area, and the bottom lip, extending the liner upwards towards the outer corners of the mouth, then diffusing and blending the lip liner with a brush. Then, to up the impact, go over it with a matte lipstick, such as his Ultra Suede formula in warm crimson Alicia. For a flawless finish, take a little bit of foundation or concealer and use a brush to refine the edges of lips, starting from the inner lips and brushing to the outer corners. “Especially for more mature women, it gives you a mini lip lift,” says Dedivanovic. Once the lip is in place, add a sheer layer of translucent powder to set it and prevent feathering as the night goes on.

‘I’m a Makeup Artist From a Place Where Temps Dip Below Zero, and These Are My Cold-Weather Makeup Essentials’

Growing up in Montana, celebrity makeup artist Mary Irwin learned the importance of protecting her skin in the winter.

The Essential Guide to Makeup Removers for a Gentle, Thorough Clean

After a quiet year that was famously light on makeup, now comes the maximalist moment. Halloween brings an occasion to transform, whether it’s a zombie makeover inspired by The Walking Dead’s final season or a Kim Kardashian West homage in face-obscuring Balenciaga—with, of course, perfect contouring underneath. Next come the holiday parties, where stay-put lip stains are the evening staple. That’s all to say, the time has come to stock up on the best makeup removers.   While longwear makeup formulations have their obvious advantages, they can sometimes do the job too well, proving near impossible to take off with the average cleanser. “Waterproof makeup is given the ‘water-proofing’ effect with silicone or acrylate polymers,” says clean cosmetic chemist Krupa Koestline, founder of KKT Cosmetics, who notes that more “natural” versions typically rely on waxes that increase their staying power. Dedicated makeup removers are uniquely equipped to help. “These contain specific surfactants and emulsifiers that bind to these polymers and solubilize them, so they are easily removed with water,” she says.   Though such compounds could be harsh in the past—the lesser evil to elbow grease—newer formulations are now taking a different approach. “Over the years, it’s become more gentle for the skin,” confirms Erin Parsons, the makeup artist behind Gigi Hadid’s sky-blue eye shadow for this year’s Met Gala and herself a skilled chameleon. These days, she says, you can find makeup removers that can tackle extreme pigments and hydrate the skin. When removing heavy makeup on her clients, she prefers to start with an oil cleanser, massaging it directly into dry skin. Once it begins to break down the makeup, “you just add water and it further dissolves the product until it completely melts away,” she says.  Another smart option is a biphase makeup remover—a vinaigrette-like mix designed to be shaken before use—which can be good for targeting small areas of the face. “The lipid phase helps dissolve oil-soluble makeup, then the aqueous phase helps rinse the makeup away,” says Michele Farber, M.D., a board-certified dermatologist in Philadelphia.   But if one has a regular face wash on hand, how necessary is a makeup remover, really? It’s a small but important distinction: A makeup remover squarely takes aim at cosmetic formulations, from all-day foundation to no-budge liner. “A cleanser, on the other hand, is designed to help remove dirt on skin and in pores,” says Farber. While some products can do both, it can be a rare find. Plus, makeup removers are now tailored to suit different preferences, adds Parsons, with something for everyone. With that in mind, consider these the best for taking it all off.  All products featured on Vanity Fair are independently selected by our editors.

To All the Beauty Products She's Loved Before: Lana Condor Shares Her Favorites

The Lineup is a monthly series where we're giving you an inside peek at the beauty lineups of cool fashion people, editors, makeup artists, hairstylists, and estheticians—all the people we trust the most. Get ready for a behind-the-scenes look at all the can’t-live-without products that make their worlds go 'round.  If there's one thing you should know about me, it's my unwavering love for romance movies, specifically teen romantic comedies that hit you right in the feels. So when Netflix's To All the Boys I've Loved Before, starring Lana Condor, came out and dominated the trending list for weeks on end, it also dominated the Friday nights I spent rewatching my favorite scenes with a pint of ice cream and eye masks. But let me make one thing clear: I may have come for the love story, but I stayed for Condor's flawless skin. Condor is the definition of a true multi-hyphenate: She's an actress, producer, YouTuber (her vlogs are top-tier), and skincare enthusiast. Like any movie fanatic, I watched her press interviews for a behind-the-scenes look at the movie. But as a budding beauty fanatic, I truly wanted the inside scoop on the routine that leaves Condor with glowing skin on and off-screen. Luckily for you and me, she did us all a favor and shared her top beauty picks with us.   PHOTO: LANA CONDOR "I was a dancer when I was younger, so I wore a lot of stage makeup. I always loved playing with makeup and creating different looks that would match my moods or outfits, etc.," says Condor. With age, she has come to realize that true beauty encompasses so much more than appearance and starts from within. To her, beauty is about "taking care of yourself, listening to your instincts, and choosing kindness even when it isn't necessarily easy. We need to take the time to tend to our minds and hearts the same way we wash our faces every night."  And while we can all agree that inner beauty is the most important, there's nothing wrong with giving your skin a little extra love to achieve that lit-from-within glow. When it comes to investing in skin treatments, Condor says that infrared saunas and cryotherapy are worth the splurge. "Sweating out toxins in the sauna has worked magic on my skin, and the tightening anti-inflammatory benefits I get from cryo have been amazing for my skin, too," Condor says. "I also maintain the position that good skin starts with your gut health. I don't believe you need to spend a lot of money on crazy expensive skin treatments. Rather, start with healing your gut. When you care about your gut and start to heal that, your skin is directly affected."

Dark Circles Where? These 13 Color Correctors are Practically Magic

If you've ever dealt with dark circles under your eyes, you know the struggle is real. It's hard to mask the darkness in a way that looks natural and flawless. The trick here, though, is to find the right product—and that's where color correctors come in.  "When you don't want to cake on concealer to cover dark circles, color correcting will be your best friend," explains makeup artist and groomer Janice Kinjo, whose clients include Mindy Kaling, Uzo Aduba, and Gabrielle Union. "It is a way to instantly neutralize discoloration, dark circles, and blemish marks underneath your foundation/concealer."  The 13 Best Color Correctors for Dark Circles, Hands Down PHOTO: @MEXICANBUTJAPANESE You might think that color correctors and concealers are one and the same (I used to think they were interchangeable), but they're two very different products. "Concealers are significantly different than color correctors," says makeup artist Gina Brooke, whose clients include Cate Blanchett, Kim Kardashian West, and Kerry Washington. "Concealers are highly pigmented and meant to conceal and highlight the skin while matching your skin tone, whereas color correctors are specifically designed to neutralize imperfections by toning down the color of the melanin to create a seamless look."  How to Shop for a Color Corrector  The 13 Best Color Correctors for Dark Circles, Hands Down PHOTO: @ISABELLECOHEEN Brooke says that choosing a color corrector can be more complicated than choosing a new shade of foundation. That's because they're designed to work by neutralizing the skin using the opposite shade on discolored areas. She recommends looking for light formulas that are buildable.  "To keep it simple, for fair complexions, look for pastel color correctors," Kinjo suggests. "For medium tones, yellow, orange, and peach correctors. For dark tones, [try] deep peach to dark orange. Shade-matching will be easier when keeping those tips in mind."  How to Apply Color Correctors  Makeup artist Carolina Dalí-Trites, whose clients include Constance Wu and Storm Reid, says it's important to prep and moisturize the under-eye area first so that your makeup can glide on and blend easily. She shared her prep routine, saying, "I start off by applying on clean skin the Russak Dermatology Clinic Chill Out CBD-infused under-eye gel mask—it helps de-puff, soothe, and moisturize the under-eye area. Leave on for 15 to 30 minutes while you're doing your hair, choosing an outfit, or whatever else you're up to in the a.m. For best under-eye mask results, store in a cool place or fridge. Follow with the La Prairie Skin Caviar Luxe Eye Cream—this cream is hydrating yet not oily, wears nicely under makeup, and has a touch of luminosity, which will help reflect light and instantly make the under-eye area look a little brighter. It's important to choose a moisturizer that's not too rich or oily because that will make the makeup crease."  ADVERTISING   La Prairie Skin Caviar Luxe Eye Cream LA PRAIRIE Skin Caviar Luxe Eye Cream $400 SHOP NOW Favorite After prepping, Kinjo recommends applying the corrector just on the area—that's because color correctors have a thicker formulation, so you don't want it to look caked-on. "Then, apply your foundation or concealer on top and blend with your finger, brush, or sponge," she says. "Again, color correctors neutralize color, so there is no need to pack on the foundation or concealer. All it comes down to is blending it with your foundation."

"Once I've applied and blended the color corrector, I follow with Nars's Radiant Creamy Concealer. I like to build the coverage little by little, keeping in mind less is more. Applying too much concealer can have the opposite effect drawing negative attention to the under-eye area, and within minutes or hours, [it can] crease. Once I'm happy with the coverage, I seal everything in place to prevent creasing and help the makeup wear longer. I take a small powder brush and apply a light dusting of Dior Backstage Powder-No-Powder to the under-eye area."

Best Makeup Remover Cloth

Which makeup remover cloth is best? Whether you only wear a little lip balm and mascara when you step outside or you wear a full face of makeup on a daily basis, removing your makeup can be a multi-step process. But makeup remover wipes and cloths are a fast, easy solution to the makeup removal process.   Makeup remover cloths are washcloth-like products that have a lot of soft fibers. When these cloths are damp, the weave of the fabric magically lifts the makeup off your face without smearing the makeup around, so you don’t need any cleanser. A great option is the Koh Gen Do Cleansing Spa Water Cloths.  What to know before you buy a makeup remover cloth Reusable vs. disposable cloths Makeup remover cloths tend to be reusable, while makeup remover wipes are usually disposable. There are pros and cons to each type. For example, makeup remover cloths are machine washable, environmentally friendly, cost effective, non-irritating, gently exfoliating and deep cleaning. On the other hand, wipes are hygienic, travel friendly, workout-ready and hassle-free.  Right size and shape for you Makeup remover cloths usually differ in size from about 4-by-5 inches to 12-by-12 inches. Larger cloths tend to last longer before they need to be washed. Cloths also usually come in either a square or rectangular shape, but there are some mitts out there that offer more targeted control.  On the go Makeup remover wipes are also a great option to take when you’re out and about. For example, you can take wipes to the gym to remove all of the sweat on your face after a draining workout. At the end of the day, you can use makeup remover wipes to remove makeup, soothe and hydrate your skin, exfoliate and cleanse. Many makeup remover wipes also come in travel-friendly packages that you can put in your purse or carry-on bag.  What to look for in a quality makeup remover cloth Material Most makeup remover cloths are composed of synthetic fibers — usually polyester — which are less prone to bacterial growth than cotton. Microfiber cloths tend to be less soft than the cloths designed for makeup removal, but they are typically more exfoliating.  Micellar water Many makeup remover wipes feature micellar water, which helps draw out oil, dirt and impurities without overdrying your skin.  Beneficial qualities There are many makeup remover cloths out there that have soothing, hydrating or exfoliating qualities. Look for the cloths that will work best for you and your skin.  How much you can expect to spend on a makeup remover cloth Makeup remover cloths and wipes start around $5-$9 for a 30-count package, while individually wrapped cloths and wipes you would find at a boutique hotel or spa can cost up to $40 for the same number. You can also find packages with 25-30 high-quality, feature-packed makeup remover wipes for about $12-$20.  Makeup remover cloth FAQ Can you really remove long-wearing or waterproof mascara with a makeup remover cloth? A. Yes, you can remove waterproof or long-wearing mascara with makeup remover cloths or wipes. Wipes will remove your long-wearing and waterproof eye makeup much easier and faster than cloths, but you can still use makeup remover cloths with a little extra tugging and rubbing. If you find it difficult to remove your eye makeup with a makeup remover cloth, just apply a little extra eye makeup remover to the cloth.  What are your options for makeup remover cloths if you try to only use green, nontoxic beauty products? A. Makeup remover cloths don’t include any harsh chemicals, so they are your best option when it comes to green and non-toxic beauty products for removing makeup. You can also find makeup remover wipes that are advertised as free of harmful chemicals like phenoxyethanol or parabens. You should search for makeup remover wipes or cloths that feature plant-based ingredients and are free of fragrance and dye, since those tend to be less toxic than other options.  What type of makeup remover cloths should you use for acne-prone skin? A. Using makeup remover cloths or wipes of any kind will reduce your acne, especially if you use them before and after a sweaty workout. Make sure to find makeup remover wipes that are advertised as oil-free.

Dakota Johnson's Romantic Hairstyle is Proof Cottagecore is Here to Stay

Considering just how versatile, customizable, personal, and downright pretty they can be, it’s almost shocking to think that for many, ponytails are relegated exclusively to the gym or backyard. If you’re a ponytail doubter, convinced that the style is purely functional, please focus your attention on Dakota Johnson. Hemingway had his brusque prose, Rothko had his colors, and Johnson has her ponytails. With her go-to glam team, the pulled-back styles become works of art — and her latest creation is a full-on masterpiece. Concocted by Mark Townsend, her go-to stylist, Dakota Johnson’s braided ponytail is a modernized, real-life version of something you might see on a fairytale princess.

Together with makeup artist Georgie Eisdell, the trio has produced more copyable looks in a few weeks than many come up with all year. This latest look, created for the Mill Valley Film Festival, features Johnson in an autumn-appropriate velvet puff-sleeve dress with shimmery, lash-heavy makeup and this show-stopping braid. While most of it is elegantly pinned back, Townsend left several gently-waved tendrils loose around Johnson’s face for a romantic, tousled effect.  Dakota Johnson facing away to show off long braided ponytail @marktownsend1  A style this good needs to be replicated immediately — and thankfully, Townsend was kind enough to share a brief look at what went into the braided updo on his Instagram. As with any sculpted or structured style, the texture is all-important to allow grip for pins, hair bands, and woven strands. Too silky-smooth and it’ll all slide right out, which is why so many top stylists recommend a dry shampoo or second-day hair for updos. In this case, Townsend used the incredible-smelling Dove Volume And Fullness Dry Shampoo all over Johnson’s hair before pinning it in place. In another post, Townsend mentions the dry shampoo is also a consistent must-use at the crown of the head and in her fluffy, lash-skimming bangs. A bit of Goop’s new Glow Restore + Shine Hair Serum adds gloss and sealant to hair’s ends, too.

Eisdell revealed the long, defined eyelashes came courtesy of IT Cosmetics Superhero Mascara, which features a buildable formula and bristle-packed brush. A combination of Koh Gen Do Maifanshi Aqua and Chanel Vitalumière foundations buff a creamy, clean finish into Johnson’s skin to create the perfect canvas for the rest of the products. Finally, her full, satin lip look was built from the Victoria Beckham Beauty Lip Definer in Shade 2 and kept supple and hydrated with the Goop Goopgenes Lip Balm.  In an alternate universe it’s clear that Johnson would have excelled as a Disney princess — with hair like that, she’d probably be the most enchanting one.

How to do Soft Glam Makeup, According to a Makeup Artist

Like fashion, beauty trends tend to follow a pattern — what was once in style will inevitably go out of style, but will become sought after again at some point. The latest fad to follow this timeline and make its way back into the spotlight is soft glam makeup.  The timing couldn't be better as we gear up for the holidays and prepare to reunite with family and friends in intimate gatherings. Shop TODAY spoke to makeup artist Katie Mellinger to help break down what exactly soft glam is and how to achieve the elegant look at home.  What is soft glam makeup? Just a step above the 'no makeup' makeup look, Mellinger described soft glam as "makeup application where there are no hard lines." In other words, beauty products are blended in very well and the look is achieved without the presence of contoured lines, heavy lip or eyeliner, or sharp, filled-in eyebrows.  Despite the absence of heavy makeup, the look isn't completely natural, either. "It's kind of like an elevated version of yourself, but it still looks like makeup, in my opinion," she told us.  Mellinger isn't surprised about the renewed interest in soft glam looks on social media. (The hashtag #softglam currently has over 93 million views on TikTok, for example.) She described beauty trends as a pendulum that goes back and forth, so no matter how far it swings it one direction, it'll always make its way back.  "We [gravitated towards] these heavily drag-influenced makeup looks, now we're swinging back in the other direction," she said. "You kind of saw it with "Euphoria"...playing with makeup like that, having these cool little accents but more on a natural base. Now we're coming around to this makeup that looks like makeup but isn't quite natural."  How to give your face a soft glam glow When applying foundation, Mellinger likes to apply a little bit at first with a dual-fiber brush then buff it out with a beauty blender. "Depending on your skin type [and] what you're trying to cover, you just want to put it where you need it, which tends to be the T-zone," she explained.  If you're using a heavier cream foundation, she noted that a kabuki brush may be better suited to breaking it down and helping blend out the look. If you need to set with a powder, she recommends keeping it light and applying it around the same area where you used foundation.  She recommends applying a creamy concealer just where you need it. "I wouldn't go too far up to the lash line because you don't want it to be so harsh. When you're applying eye shadow, you're going to want to blend a halo around the eye. If you mix that with the concealer, it can get a little muddy."  When it comes to contouring, try to keep it on the light side since soft glam doesn't call for hard lines. Mellinger recommends using a cream bronzer or foundation that's a few shades darker than your normal color and blending it in really well. "Smile and get to the hollows of your cheeks, but you don't want to see that you really contoured your face," she said. "If you're going along your hairline [with] a bronzer, stipple it with a sponge for no hard lines."  If you're applying blush, she advises to stick to the apple of the cheek. "Smile [to] see where your apples are and use the butt of a beauty blender to stipple it on." Once you've got your blush on, you can blend out the edges with your fingers. If you're in a pinch or don't have cream blush on hand, you can also use lipstick, according to Mellinger.  Finally, for highlighter, she recommends tapping it on with your fingers. "The warmth of your fingers is going to help it blend into your skin," she explained. She also advises to only apply it to a few key areas — primarily your cheekbones, nose bridge and the bow of your lip.  How to achieve a soft glam eye look Now that your base is finished, it's time to work on the eyes. Mellinger recommends sticking with neutral eye shadow tones to achieve the soft glam look. Depending on the level of glam you want to achieve, you can opt for a matte or shimmery neutral. She also recommends applying a little eye shadow below the lower lash line to create what's called a "drop shadow."  Next, skip the eyeliner and head straight for the mascara. "I would go for something that's volumizing...you don't want to go crazy with a ton of coats of mascara but you want thick, fluffy lashes."  Your eyebrows should also look as natural as possible when it comes to achieving the perfect soft glam look. Mellinger recommends using a fine-tipped pencil and filling in from the arch toward the end with light strokes. Once you've filled in a little bit — but not too much — go back in with a spoolie to soften the color. Once the brow is filled in, Mellinger likes to comb a brow gel directly into the hairs without touching the skin to pull it all together.  How to achieve a soft glam lip look Now that your base and eye area is done, there's only one thing left to take care of: lips! Mellinger recommends sticking with a neutral lip color, one that's not too far off from your natural shade. Her advice for picking the right lipstick color is to look at the color of your natural lips and go one or two shades darker. If you want to use lip liner, she recommends softening the edges with a brush to get the proper look.  While so many steps may seem overwhelming to nail the perfect soft glam glow, Mellinger has an integral tip for anyone out there who wants to try it out at home.  "Anything with makeup, I always say that it comes off. So if you mess up, you can just take it off," she offered.  Best soft glam makeup products, according to an expert Dr. Barbara Sturm Face Cream  Dr. Barbara Sturm Face Cream $215.00  SEPHORA $215.00  NORDSTROM $159.00  NET-A-PORTER Mellinger emphasized the important of properly prepping the skin before applying makeup to get the best outcome.

Bioderma Sébium Mat Control Cream  Bioderma Sébium Mat Control Cream $19.99  AMAZON $19.99  TARGET $19.99  WALGREENS Mellinger recommends this Bioderma cream for anyone with mature or oily skin.

Glossier Haloscope Dew Effect Highlighter  Glossier Haloscope Dew Effect Highlighter $22.00  GLOSSIER Mellinger also likes this highlighter from Glossier.

The J-beauty Foundation Lana Condor Swears by for Flawless On-Camera Skin

Although K-beauty may have taken the world by storm first (or at least the loudest), there’s a quiet confidence in the beauty buys and trends brought to us from Japan.  Known for acing it when it comes to innovative textures and formulas, our interest is always peaked when we hear about a hero product hailing from the country. And even more so when it’s a favourite of an actress like Lana Condor, who we sure has the pick of the bunch when it comes to beauty.  In a recent interview with The Cut, the To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before star shared her love for the Koh Gen Do Maifanshi Aqua Foundation ($116.57 at Revolve).   “I’ve been using this foundation on camera forever,” she told the publication. “It’s a lightweight, barely-there foundation, and it really looks like skin. You don’t need a lot of it. I like to show my skin — I don’t want to cover it — and this really works for that.”  The brand is well known among celebrity makeup artists and was created by Japanese actress Ai Saotome.  In fact, Mario Dedivanovic (AKA @makeupbymario and the magician behind many of Kim Kardashian’s looks) is also a big fan.  The makeup artist recommended it during an Instagram Live, as reported by Cosmopolitan, and said: "For more natural foundations, I'm loving the Koh Gen Do, the Aqua. It builds up really beautifully, so if someone likes more coverage, you can sort of just build up little by little, and it gives the most stunning look of real skin coming through, but still giving that flawless polished look. That's one of my favourites, and it's been for a while now."  The $70 buy is often compared to Giorgio Armani’s Luminous Silk Foundation ($105 at giorgioarmanibeauty.com.au) for having similar coverage and a natural finish.  RATED 5/5 STARS BY OUR REVIEW CREW According to Youtuber Amanda Z, who compares the two in a video, the main difference is that Luminous Silk will provide a more flawless, photo-ready finish (think: wedding day), while the Aqua Foundation is more skin-like and hydrating.

The 13 Foundations Celebrity Makeup Artists Always Use on Women Over 40

As someone who has a 71-year-old beauty fanatic as her mother (surprising I became a beauty editor, right?), I know all too well the trials and tribulations surrounding foundation and mature skin. Of course, finding the best foundation for your skin texture, tone and type is hard enough at any age, but when you throw into the mix age-related conundrums like discolouration from sun damage, fine lines or wrinkles and dehydration, the challenge only gets steeper.  Best foundations for mature skin: Reese Witherspoon on set PHOTO: @REESEWITHERSPOON Being that my mum is an actual makeup artist, I've definitely absorbed some of her wisdom and tips over the years—minimal, if any, powder and absolutely no super-matte formulas. She has flawless skin (both with and without makeup), so I've taken her guidance to heart. That said, I was interested to compare notes with some of the top celebrity makeup artists in the industry who regularly cater to Hollywood's leading ladies 40 and over. What foundations do they always have on hand for red carpet prep, and what application tips do they hold gospel to ensure their clients with mature skin look as radiant and healthy as possible? They're covering all that and more below. Keep scrolling!   Their Best Foundation, Product and Application Tips  Tip #1: Your Skin Prep Is Everything  Best Foundations for Mature Skin: Josh Rosebrook Hydration Accelerator JOSH ROSEBROOK Hydration Accelerator £35 SHOP NOW Favorite Every makeup artist we spoke to explained that without a well-prepped base (i.e. hydrated and healthy skin) any foundation application will flounder. Prepping the skin with the right products and ample moisture is crucial for a seamless, long-lasting finish.   "I am really, really big on prep—prep is EVERYTHING," exclaims celebrity makeup artist Tamah Krinsky, whose clients include Julianna Margulies, Mary Steenburgen, Judy Greer, Idina Menzel and Christy Turlington. "Regardless of age, how you prep your skin determines how your foundation will sit on your skin, and the more hydrated and healthy your skin is to start, the better your foundation will look. My clients would tell you skin prep is the longest part of their time in the makeup chair with me!"  Krinsky recommends starting the process with a luxe spray like Josh Rosebrook's Hydration Accelerator (£35) before moving onto an oil. She typically applies around six drops, although it depends on the day and client. "I take three to five minutes to massage the oil from the hairline to the collarbones. It's amazing what that alone can do for your complexion! My favourites are Drunk Elephant Virgin Marula Oil (£61), Eve Lom Radiance Face Oil (£60) and the Josh Rosebrook Herbal Infusion Oil (£44)," she says.  Afterward, she'll press a pea-sized amount of moisturiser into the skin to lock all the magic in. She loves anything from Drunk Elephant, Dr. Hauschka or La Roche-Posay.

Our makeup artists were equally divided in their preference! So we recommend trying both methods to see what you prefer. That said, if you go the brush route, Krinsky recommends using multiple sizes and always reaching for a brush with synthetic brush fibres versus natural hair.  "No matter what foundation I'm using, I always use two brushes—one to deposit the formula and one to blend," she confirms. "I like to use brushes on the smaller side so I can be specific and blend around the structure of the face. To deposit foundation, I use a small flat synthetic eye shadow brush. Synthetic brushes don't hold onto pigment and products as much as natural hair brushes, so you save your products from being wasted, and they leave the foundation where you put them."  To blend, Krinsky tells us she switches to a medium-sized fluffy eye shadow contour brush. Although her brush process takes more time than using a Beautyblender, she thinks it offers more precision in addition to a more seamless result.   Best foundations for mature skin: Charlotte Tilbury Eye Blender Brush CHARLOTTE TILBURY Eye Blender Brush £25 SHOP NOW Favorite Tip #3: Don't Buy Foundation When You're in a Hurry  Sorry, but finding the right foundation—consistency, finish and shade—takes some time and effort. And Krinsky is especially adamant about taking the time to find your perfect shade.   "Make sure you are matching your skin tone," she advises. "Always ask for a sample (or better yet, multiple!) and look at yourself in daylight. It should look 100% seamless, and if it isn’t, it’s the wrong shade for you."  Tip #4: Don't Apply Foundation to Your Entire Face  "Only use foundation where you need it," Krinsky adds. "Use small amounts, and take your time to blend them into your skin. You don't have to apply a huge amount of foundation to your entire face. You should be using it to even out your skin tone—not to cover your skin."  Tip #5: The Right Primer Can Be a Great Sidekick  Hourlgass N°28 Primer Serum HOURLGASS N° 28 Primer Serum £64 SHOP NOW Favorite "I love to apply this primer from Hourglass after the moisturiser I applied has fully absorbed," celebrity makeup artist Quinn Murphy shares. "It fills in any texture issues like wrinkles, lines, and/or pores while simultaneously neutralising excess grease and oil. It also reflects light in a beautiful way—almost like a blur tool."  Tip #6: Apply Concealer Before Foundation    Best foundations for mature skin: Serge Lutens Une Bonne Correction Concealer Palette SERGE LUTENS Une Bonne Correction Concealer Palette £134 SHOP NOW Favorite "Concealer always comes before foundation and in a warm peachy shade," Murphy adds. "I apply the concealer in the dark areas under the eyes and over any redness too. Then, I pat on the foundation over the concealer. Using colour theory—the opposite of purple-y dark circles is orange-salmon—is important.  It cancels out the bruise-like tones so you don't end up over-applying foundation."  Tip #7: Forgo Powder—or Apply It With a Beautyblender  Best foundations for mature skin: Beautyblender Pro Black BEAUTYBLENDER Pro Black £17 SHOP NOW Favorite Both Murphy and Chanel makeup artist Kate Lee (who counts women like Charlize Theron and Jessica Chastain as regular clients) recommend eliminating—or at least limiting—your powder usage since it can sit into mature skin's fine lines and make a person look older.  "If I need powder, I use a transparent HD powder on a dampened Beautyblender and roll it into the skin," shares Lee.  Best foundations for mature skin: Chantecaille HD Perfecting Powder CHANTECAILLE HD Perfecting Powder £64 SHOP NOW Favorite Tip #8: Know Which Products Should Be Luminous and Which Should be Matte    Best foundations for mature skin: Chanel Soleil Tan de Chanel Bronzing Makeup Base CHANEL Soleil Tan de Chanel Bronzing Makeup Base £43 SHOP NOW Favorite Okay, there's some science involved here. While our makeup artists agree the best foundations for mature skin should be more luminous and dewy rather than matte, you don't want to verge shimmery, and certain complementary products (such as bronzer) should always be matte.   "Concealer under the eye should be a light and luminous formulation, and concealer to hide blemishes or dark spots needs to have more pigment and coverage," Lee confirms. "Also, be very mindful of shimmer—it tends to bring attention to the texture of the skin, so it's not very flattering if it drops from the eyelid."  Tip #9: You Need a Specific Protocol If You're Shopping Online  "Let's be real—online swatches are never 100% accurate, and shade names aren't standardised, so it's best to tap into a brand's customer service or a trained makeup artist, whose job it is to know everything, from the curation of foundations to formulation to finish," explains Violet Grey's beauty director, Maureen Choi. "A quick email exchange or phone call with a trusted resource who understands your skin and makeup concerns can make all the difference in receiving the perfect fit on your doorstep.  "Sometimes you have to try before you buy, particularly when it comes to foundation. A good rule of thumb is to ask for samples in three shades—the one you've shade-matched to your complexion, then one shade lighter and one shade deeper. That way, you can test all three in broad daylight and get an accurate sense of what looks best. According to makeup artist and Violet Grey committee member Pati Dubroff, using two shades of foundation—a light shade down the centre of the face and one a shade darker along the perimeter—is the secret to getting the most natural, subtly defined, second-skin look."

ADVERTISING   Best foundations for mature skin: Koh Gen Do Maifanshi Moisture Foundation KOH GEN DO Maifanshi Moisture Foundation £69 SHOP NOW Favorite "Stay away from heavily matte products; they look chalky and settle into fine lines," warns Krinksy. "Healthy skin isn't matte. Think about how you look after a workout or a nice walk. Your skin is glowing—that's what you want your makeup and skincare to re-create."   This iconic pick from Koh Gen Do is a makeup artist favourite and one that Krinsky says she always keeps at the top of her kit. If you're looking for a foundation with fuller coverage, Murphy recommends this as one of the best.   Best foundations for mature skin: Koh Gen Do Maifanshi Aqua Foundation KOH GEN DO Maifanshi Aqua Foundation £68 SHOP NOW Favorite Although Murphy is also a fan of Koh Gen Do's Moisture Foundation (shown above) for mature skin, this formula from the brand boasts a slightly lighter coverage and is another go-to he keeps on hand for clients like Sofía Vergara, Naomi Watts, Kate Hudson and Reese Witherspoon.   Best foundations for mature skin: Surratt Dew Drop Foundation SURRATT Dew Drop Foundation £70 £56 SHOP NOW Favorite "Since they don't settle into fine lines, dewy foundation formulas are also great for more mature skin because you can move them around and adjust your application easily. I love this glow-enhancing foundation from Surratt," Krinsky adds.     Best foundations for mature skin: Charlotte Tilbury Light Wonder Foundation CHARLOTTE TILBURY Light Wonder Foundation £34 SHOP NOW Favorite Both celebrity makeup artist Jamie Greenberg (think Rashida Jones, Leslie Grossman, Busy Philipps, Chelsea Handler, Christina Applegate, and Lauren Graham) and Krinsky say they're big fans of this cult-favourite foundation formula from Charlotte Tilbury. It expertly smooths and hydrates and also features a helpful dose of SPF for an extra kick of protection.  "I like to work with formulas that start light and you can build. … If your formulas are too heavy right off the bat, you can usually see it, and they'll also be more likely to settle into more mature skin!" says Greenberg.   Best foundations for mature skin: Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation GIORGIO ARMANI Luminous Silk Foundation £43 SHOP NOW Favorite Is there a more iconic foundation? We've never heard a professional makeup artist NOT praise its skin-perfecting magic, and Murphy, Greenberg and Krinsky swear by it when it comes to catering to their 40-plus celebrity clientele. Even though it has the prettiest satin finish, Greenberg says there's still enough moisture in the formula to make mature skin glow instead of falling flat. Murphy also adds that it's one of the best foundations for those seeking light-to-medium coverage.   Best foundations for mature skin: Giorgio Armani Maestro Fusion Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 15 GIORGIO ARMANI Maestro Fusion Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 15 £43 SHOP NOW Favorite When Greenberg isn't opting for Armani's fan-favourite Luminous Silk, she tells us she also loves working with the brand's equally lovely Maestro Foundation. Ultra-lightweight, it helps to brighten and enhance clients' natural glow while yielding a flattering, semi-matte finish. Basically, it's glowy, but not too glowy.     Suqqu The Cream Foundation SUQQU The Cream Foundation £68 SHOP NOW Favorite Suqqu is one of those under-the-radar brands that aren't household names but are fawned over by makeup artists and celebrities. A famed export from Japan, this rich foundation is one of the best for mature skin, according to Greenberg, and helps to keep the skin supremely hydrated while also providing the perfect ration of dewy coverage.  Best foundations for mature skin: Clé de Peau Beauté Radiant Cream Foundation CLÉ DE PEAU BEAUTÉ Radiant Cream Foundation £100 SHOP NOW Favorite Greenberg also shares Clé de Peau Beauté's epic foundation as another great option for older skin. The brand actually has a number of options that differ in consistency, coverage, and formula, but this game-changing cream pick is a best seller and award winner. It's luxurious, highly moisturising and full-coverage (but definitely buildable—fear not), and it makes for the smoothest natural glow.   "I use a Beautyblender (£17) and a brush to work the foundation into the complexion and make it look like a second skin," says Greenberg.  Best foundations for mature skin: It Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream with SPF 50+ IT COSMETICS Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream with SPF 50+ £33 SHOP NOW Favorite "This foundation has a moisturising, highly pigmented, light formula. It has that essential coverage but is still light," explains celebrity makeup artist Jo Strettell, who regularly works with Demi Moore, Helen Mirren, Holly Hunter, Patricia Clarkson, Sigourney Weaver, and Brooke Shields.    Best foundations for mature skin: Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer LAURA MERCIER Tinted Moisturizer £35 SHOP NOW Favorite "Laura Mercier's Tinted Moisturizer is perfect for older skin thanks to its multitasking blend of skincare ingredients that aid moisture and its great coverage that blurs imperfections," Strettell adds. "I use this when we are aiming to achieve a more natural or editorial look."  Best foundations for mature skin: Nars Sheer Glow Foundation NARS Sheer Glow Foundation £27 SHOP NOW Favorite If you're looking for a "glowy, dewy, light coverage," Murphy says this foundation formula from Nars is one of the absolute best. Like Greenberg, he also prefers to use a damp sponge (like a Beautyblender) for his application. "This allows me to build the coverage and get the desired coverage for different areas of the face," he explains. "Using a tapping motion gives the skin a beautiful airbrushed finish."

Products to Swear By: These 8 Skincare Items Are Always in My Rotation

Products to Swear By: These 8 Skincare Items Are Always in My Rotation by ARALYN BEAUMONT facebook pinterest email Favorite  I don't know if it's just getting older, but as I live out the last year of my twenties, I finally feel as though I've nailed my skincare routine. I know I still need a retinol in the rotation, but I just haven't settled on one yet. These eight products, however, are my tried and true, and I will never feel good about my skin without them. I don't exfoliate every day, but the rest of the products get used in this order, day in, and day out. Keep scrolling for a bullet-proof skincare regimen.   First Aid Beauty Pure Skin Face Cleanser SHOP Favorite First Aid Beauty Pure Skin Face Cleanser ($22) First Aid Beauty isn't the most affordable skincare line, but what matters is that I trust it for everything, especially when my skin is at its worst. This product cleans my skin so well; plus it's gentle enough that I can use it for removing makeup.   Koh Gen Do Soft Gommage Gel SHOP Favorite Koh Gen Do Soft Gommage Gel ($52) Beauty director Caitie Schlisserman recommended this gommage exfoliator to me when I asked her for something gentle and effective. She really delivered, folks. I know it works because when I regularly use it (once or twice a week), it hardly has much dead skin to remove. Less fun, but the results are amazing.   Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence SHOP Favorite Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence ($17) I've been a huge fan of snail mucin essence for years. I'm confident it gives my skin a really healthy glow.   Ole Henriksen Banana Bright Eye Crème SHOP Favorite Ole Henriksen Banana Bright Eye Crème ($55) This is the eye cream for all my fellow dark-circled beauties. It's a pretty penny, but it's the only thing that really brightens and plumps my under eyes.   The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% SHOP Favorite The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% ($12) I don't understand how this brand is so affordable, but I don't ask questions when the solutions are this good. Whenever I have blemishes or redness, this product helps so much, but I honestly love using it every morning for the dewy glow it gives my skin.   First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream Intense Hydration Moisturizer SHOP Favorite First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream Intense Hydration Moisturizer ($36) Another FAB staple. The nice thing about using such dependable workhorses for cleansing and moisturizing is that, duh, they're dependable, but they also provide such a solid, buildable foundation so you can work in other products that meet your specific needs.   EltaMD UV Clear Tinted Face Sunscreen SHOP Favorite EltaMD UV Clear Tinted Face Sunscreen ($39) The world already knows I swear by this sunscreen and this sunscreen only. Zinc is a must-have SPF ingredient, and using a tinted moisturizer just makes me feel more pulled-together and mature.   Eau Thermale Avène Cold Cream Nourishing Lip Balm SHOP Favorite Eau Thermale Avène Cold Cream Nourishing Lip Balm ($14) Another A-plus rec from my trusted Caitie. This lip balm seriously keeps my lips so plump, and I only need to apply it when I wake up and before I go to bed. Worth the price tag!

How Taraji P. Henson Channeled Diana Ross

How Taraji P. Henson Channeled Diana Ross By Asia Milia Ware   Photo: Photographed by Dani B for The Cut It was a no-brainer that Taraji P. Henson wanted her look for this year’s American fashion themed Met Gala to be an ode to Diana Ross. “Diana Ross is iconic. That’s who I grew up wanting to be,” Taraji says. “She’s everything that embodies Hollywood, glam, and fashion. Growing up in the hood and watching her gave me something to aspire to be.”  Working with her stylist, Jason Bolden, they leaned into cool references from American fashion and American music, specifically during the disco time period. “The flamboyance and courageousness of innately fashionable Black women during the time of disco inspired us,” Jason says. Tapping Jeremy Scott for the gala was an obvious choice, not only because he and Taraji are good friends, but also because he’s willing to “push the envelope,” Jason says. “Jeremy steps out of the box and dances to his own music, so it was a perfect collaboration.”  See: All the Looks From the Met Gala     Photo: Photographed by Dani B for The Cut While you may think everyone started preparing for the long-awaited 2021 Met Gala as soon as the sun rose today, that’s not the case for Taraji. Her preparation for fashion’s biggest night of the year is low-key and quiet. She spent the morning doing one last fitting for her embellished catsuit and then enjoyed her “me time.” “I’m talking to my girlfriends and we’re recapping my birthday weekend,” Taraji says as she drinks her green juice and water and just chills until it’s time to get ready. “I’m very low maintenance.”    Photo: Photographed by Dani B for The Cut She started her prep yesterday with her manicure and pedicure, which she says is “therapeutic” to her. The 3D textured nails done by Temeka Jackson are blinged out to complement her Moschino look. “Each nail is art,” Taraji says on her manicure. The nails are decked out with Swarvoski crystals, one finger with a blinged out ring and another a 3D black rose.    Taraji P. Henson getting ready at The Mark Hotel. Photo: Photographed by Dani B for The Cut Next up is hair and makeup. Her skincare routine prep is a series of products by La Mer. Her makeup artist, Ashunta Sheriff-Kendricks is really focused on hydration of the skin, especially her under eyes. To continue paying homage to 70s and 80s American fashion and disco glam, Taraji is going for glowy and glassy skin. For a skin-like foundation finish, she’s wearing one of her favorite foundations, Koh Gen Do. The glass skin look with a glowy cheek brings the attention to her intense smokey eye. “Think Donna Summer and supermodel Imani,” Ashunta says. To top the look off, Taraji went with a neutral lip from The Lip Bar.    Photo: Dani B for The Cut   Photo: Dani B To complement her sexy smokey eye is her textured hair, inspired by Diana Ross — specifically her hair on the cover of her 1987 “Red Hot Rhythm & Blues” album. To prep her hair, Tym Wallace used her own hair care line, TPH by Taraji for a moisturizing shampoo and a leave in conditioner to help the hair be shaped. “I went in with a flat waving iron and a micro iron so the hair could have multiple patterns and textures,” Tym says. The vision for the hair against her catsuit is drama and glamour, “almost like she has a fan blowing her.” “It’s big, voluminous, textured, and Hollywood glamour.”  See below for photos of how her final look came all together.

How Suni Lee Brought Gold-Medal Beauty to the Met Gala Red Carpet

How Suni Lee Brought Gold-Medal Beauty to the Met Gala Red Carpet BY MICHELLA ORÉ September 14, 2021 How Suni Lee Brought GoldMedal Beauty to the Met Gala Red Carpet Photo: Mike Coppola/ Courtesy of Getty Images A month after taking home gold at the 2020 Tokyo Games, gymnast Sunisa “Suni” Lee  arrived to the Met gala beaming. It was a historic night for both the gala, which returned after a two-year hiatus, and Lee, who was attending the star-studded affair for the first time.   “It was just incredible and it felt so surreal to be able to say I’m going to the Met gala at 18,” Lee, who attended with Victoria’s Secret, told Vogue. For the evening, Lee wore a custom gold bandeau and matching floor-length skirt by Sukeina. The brand deeply resonated on a personal level for Lee: “Sukeina means ‘bright light,’ and I think the brand represents the experiences and challenges of life. That really was important to me because of the Olympics, I mean it really just fits the whole story and vibe of the Olympics and it felt right."  On the beauty front, stylist Irinel de León kept it simple and elegant, prepping Lee’s hair with the Ouai Wave Spray and using Oribe Superfine Hairspray to hold everything in place. “For Suni’s look, we wanted to stick with something sleek, clean and polished since the dress is very symmetrical and strong,” León explained.  She then filled in Lee’s hairline using Color Wow palette in dark brown and finished the look with gold cording around base of the pony with gold buttons to match.  Also playing off of the metallic theme, makeup artist Allan Avendano created a bronze look with a soft, smoky eye that was classic yet elevated. “We didn’t want to do anything too overpowering," Avendano notes. For nails, Mar y Sol Inzerillo used Valentino Beauty Pure. “I wanted her nails to complement her dress and she wanted pink. A dreamy manicure for the gal who made her dreams come true and won the gold!”  Dreamy indeed. Scroll down for a behind-the-scenes breakdown of Suni Lee’s Met Gala look.

The J-beauty foundation Lana Condor swears by for flawless on-camera skin

The J-beauty foundation Lana Condor swears by for flawless on-camera skin Some consider it a dupe for Luminous Silk  By Samantha McMeekin EDITOR / OCTOBER 08 2021     Although K-beauty may have taken the world by storm first (or at least the loudest), there’s a quiet confidence in the beauty buys and trends brought to us from Japan.  Known for acing it when it comes to innovative textures and formulas, our interest is always peaked when we hear about a hero product hailing from the country. And even more so when it’s a favourite of an actress like Lana Condor, who we sure has the pick of the bunch when it comes to beauty.  ADVERTISING  In a recent interview with The Cut, the To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before star shared her love for the Koh Gen Do Maifanshi Aqua Foundation ($116.57 at Revolve).    “I’ve been using this foundation on camera forever,” she told the publication. “It’s a lightweight, barely-there foundation, and it really looks like skin. You don’t need a lot of it. I like to show my skin — I don’t want to cover it — and this really works for that.”  The brand is well known among celebrity makeup artists and was created by Japanese actress Ai Saotome.  In fact, Mario Dedivanovic (AKA @makeupbymario and the magician behind many of Kim Kardashian’s looks) is also a big fan.  The makeup artist recommended it during an Instagram Live, as reported by Cosmopolitan, and said: "For more natural foundations, I'm loving the Koh Gen Do, the Aqua. It builds up really beautifully, so if someone likes more coverage, you can sort of just build up little by little, and it gives the most stunning look of real skin coming through, but still giving that flawless polished look. That's one of my favourites, and it's been for a while now."  The $70 buy is often compared to Giorgio Armani’s Luminous Silk Foundation ($105 at giorgioarmanibeauty.com.au) for having similar coverage and a natural finish.   RATED 5/5 STARS BY OUR REVIEW CREW According to Youtuber Amanda Z, who compares the two in a video, the main difference is that Luminous Silk will provide a more flawless, photo-ready finish (think: wedding day), while the Aqua Foundation is more skin-like and hydrating.

Behind the spooky glam of Netflix’s Nightbooks: Interview with makeup head Leslie Sebert

Behind the spooky glam of Netflix’s Nightbooks: Interview with makeup head Leslie Sebert by Mads Lennon 2 weeks ago Follow @madstvwriter TWEET SHARE x COMMENT We’re taking you behind the spooky glam of Netflix’s Nightbooks with makeup head Leslie Sebert. Find out how to steal Natacha’s glittery witch look and more!  Nightbooks is a new fantasy-driven horror film that appeals to children and adults. The story centers around Alex (Winsley Fegley), a boy obsessed with scary stories. He finds himself trapped in a magical apartment by an evil witch, Natacha (Krysten Ritter), who forces him to tell her a new scary story each night to stay alive. Alex teams up with another prisoner, Yazmin (Lidya Jewett), to escape Natacha’s clutches.  Leslie was responsible for leading the makeup department for the movie and talked to us about her direction for designing Natacha’s makeup. She utilized her creativity and extensive background in the field to bring Natacha’s character to life, focusing on incorporating darker colors, glitter eyeshadows and creating cat-like features to enhance Natacha’s sinister yet childish, appearance.  A 35-year industry veteran, Leslie offers valuable insight into creating the ultimate witch look, whether you want to mimic Natacha’s appearance this Halloween or create a witchy look of your own! Find out what products and techniques she used in Nightbooks and more.  The genesis of creating Natacha’s look for Nightbooks, highlighting the contrast between her and Griselda (the Candy Witch)  LESLIE SEBERT: The whole idea of Natacha was she was (spoiler alert!) a young girl who was captured by this apartment, by this witch, she grew up in captivity in this weird place. She was still childish, and her makeup look, fashion, and everything had a childish sort of hint to it. But then also some really fun cool fashion.  Supposedly the apartment moved around to different countries. It might have popped to Paris, so she would have seen how people are and how their fashion is and their makeup, so she just grabbed these things to herself and being sort of childish, and what little girl doesn’t love glittery things?  It’s so fun to play with, so that was the basis for her. She cultivated her own look. She didn’t have a mother teaching her how to do it. She had to figure it out on her own.  Nightbooks: Steal Natacha’s glitter eyeshadow  LESLIE SEBERT: The main one that I found that stayed really well was Urban Decay. They had a few, definitely the Urban Decay eye primer before the eye shadow, and then I would do a really nice highlight and shadow with a Christian Dior eyeshadow that was a perfect base for it. It was number 646, just for earth tones and things like that.  And then, on top of that, the sparkles were the Urban Decay sparkles, the glitters. They have the gold, which is called Starfire, the purple glitter is called Studio, but then on top of that, for some of the scenes, I layered the Urban Metal Heavy Metal, and that was Saturday Stardust. I really love those products. They are the best glitters I have found. There was also a Stila one I used called Kitten Karma that stayed well, but the Urban Decay was fantastic and highly recommended.  Nightbooks Nightbooks: How to make your perfect Natacha (or any witch) makeup look for Halloween  LESLIE SEBERT: The fun part of her character was [Natacha] was a witch, but she was gorgeous and fashionable. Still, she also was evil and part of that was the dramatic eyes the great I did a lot of the black with the little tails at the end. I also did double tails and triple tails and a little ’60s kind of thing where I even did an underline with a tail at the end and then glitter in between to accentuate Krysten’s eyes.  I was thinking of using under-eye lashes, like the false lashes, but for the whole day, they just weren’t that comfortable, so what I went with I drew extra lines like in the ’60s and then in between, I would put some gold highlights or purple highlights or silver highlights to really pop the liner.  Especially at night, which was the thing about our film, it was particularly dark and moody. The glitter will make whoever’s eyes pop even more when you’ve got the big black liner and big lashes, and then you have some highlighting glitter. It catches your eye, and it’s very dramatic.  Nightbooks What’s in Leslie Sebert’s makeup bag?  LESLIE SEBERT: I am a big fan of Armani foundations and Koh Gen Do foundations. I love beautiful Christian Dior eyeshadows. There are so many products out there, it was funny on this when we were doing her lips, we used a Kosas called “Wet,” and it brought this great shine to her lips. Also, another nice product which she absolutely loved is Living Libations, and Krysten doesn’t go anywhere without it. She likes the mint flavor, but there are so many yummy flavors like chocolate, and they’re beautiful. They’re a great basis for lip colors and lip liners and stuff. I wouldn’t leave home without them.  READ: Nightbooks appeals to the horror-loving kid within I usually have in my kit the Christian Dior [mascara] called Diorshow. We used Tarte on this one which was fantastic because Krysten has these amazing lashes, and I used these great false lashes on her by Pink Cherry and then on top of that, I used the Tarte mascara. Also, I used that Glossier Brow Boy a little bit in her eyebrows and Anastaisa, granite, just a tiny bit because she’s got great eyebrows, but I really wanted to bring drama to her eyebrows because it was such a dramatic look.  Her lip pencil was really fun because we were trying to find these great pops of color, an old favorite of mine that I hadn’t used in a while, it’s an Elizabeth Arden fuschia, and it had such amazing consistency. It’s beautiful on her lips. It works great, and she liked the way it felt. Clé de Peau they have beautiful concealers.  Those are my go-to’s, and moisturizers are great. It’s good to have a good base before your foundation. I would say Drunk Elephant has some good ones, Dermalogica. We also used Sunday Riley. She has great moisturizers. A big thing is the fake lashes. If you want to make dramatic eyes, especially like a character thing, get the biggest lashes you can get.
