“Having a slight variation in your options will allow for a more natural finish.” And pro tip - having multiple shades in rotation will be a saving grace as you naturally tan in the summer months or get paler in the winter. “Skin isn’t one color,” makeup artist Molly R. However, if you’re willing to make the extra investment, leaving the store with two shades might not be a bad idea, either.
To determine your exact shade, Hughes recommends you swatch along the lower jawline of your face down to the neck to see which one disappears seamlessly into your skin. “It’s a soft, easy way of depuffing someone’s face.”įorty shades may be the new normal - a very good thing, to be sure - but that said, finding your perfect foundation match in the aisles of Sephora or Ulta can still prove to be a challenge. “I also love using a face roller like Jenny Patinkin’s Rose Quartz Roller on the jawline, the orbital, and cheekbones,” says Stiles.
FLAWLESS MAKEUP SKIN
“That’s the most important step for a glow because if you don’t, you’re just putting products on dead skin.” (Writer’s note: Make sure to wear sunscreen regularly as peels can make your skin photo-sensitive.) Next, Hughes recommends layering a moisturizer like Augustinus Bader’s The Cream, or taking fifteen minutes to do a sheet mask for optimal glow. “I tend to not use face primers because they can affect the application of the foundation,” says makeup artist Fiona Stiles, who instead preps her clients’ skin with moisturizer to ensure a healthy glow from within.Īnother option? “Start with an exfoliating peel pad,” recommends makeup artist Katie Jane Hughes, who swears by Elemis Dynamic Resurfacing Pads.

In the spirit of achieving the " MLBB" equivalent of skin, we've enlisted the help of makeup artists to share their best tips and product recommendations to get you your best skin yet. That said, if you're not blessed with a preternaturally flawless complexion (in other words, you're a human being who enjoys the occasional whole milk latte and isn't impervious to hormonal breakouts), creating an even, luminous canvas with the help of foundation, concealer, and powder, is well within your reach with the right tools and products. And while you may love to wear a bold lipstick or a feline-like liner, when it comes to complexion makeup, the most natural effect is achieved when your skin still looks like skin. With dewy highlighters, your-skin-but-better foundations, and blushes that mimic a post-coital glow ( you know the one), we're definitely not lacking for makeup that seeks to give us the effect of not wearing any makeup at all.
