Beauty inspiration from celebrity makeup artist Vincent Oquendo
“I love to play with texture, so I knew I had to pair Gabrielle’s freshly-flashed face with a matte lip. You can appreciate her glossy skin even more when you feel the texture of that matte lip. DERMAFLASH helps to emphasize her glow because this device gives you baby soft skin immediately after you flash.”
How-to
“I wanted to play up texture with this look, so we decided to go with a matte lip and contrast it with a lightweight, dewy complexion, thanks to DERMAFLASH.”
Flash your skin a day prior with DERMAFLASH, so it is still baby soft and the face makeup applies more easily.
Use the NARS Sheer Glow foundation and Laura Mercier Camouflage concealer.
To keep the eyes sheer and light, use an Armani Eye Tint, “which gave a beautiful sheer, pearly, iridescent glow.” Apply that lightly all over the lid.
Then go in with the Kevyn Aucoin contour stick to define the crease, and blend it all out.
On the lips, use Kat Von D liquid lipstick in Nosferatu “to make for a perfectly matte lip.”
