With Letha, we want the focus to be on her flawless skin and beautiful features and not the discoloration that bothers her. Eve starts by applying a Priming Moisturizer with Astaxanthin.
Note: Astaxanthin is a key ingredient when it comes to skin care. It is a powerful anti-oxidant 500 times stronger than vitamin E, packed with Omega 3 and a natural sunscreen equivalent to SPF 20 without any chemicals. It also has anti-inflammatory properties to soothe, treat and protect against sun damage as it hydrates.
Using a Foundation brush and her Reverse Contouring method, Eve blends the foundation using her damp sponge. She then applies Salmon Concealer using a concealer brush on the areas that need extra coverage or have bluish undertones; under the eyes and around the mouth. Eve gently blends the concealer into the foundation using the damp sponge in a dabbing motion.
Eve sets the foundation using a Dual Pressed Powder with a Powder Puff, rolling it gently on the skin. To finish off the look, she applied a Blush Trio with a combination of peachy, pinky and brozer colors to the apples of Letha's cheeks using a Fan brush. The result gives us a flawless finish and the only thing you notice is Letha and her lovely features!
Until the next time,
Karla Hirkaler for EVE PEARL
