Face Forward

As oxymoronic as this may sound, I have always gone to great lengths to achieve a “no make up, make up look”.
Mission accomplished because I am often asked what products I am wearing on my face.
Oh how I wish I could say “I just woke up like this”, but I can’t.
Here is my list, in order of application, of my “no-products, products”.
Most of these have appeared in previous posts and on instagram but here is a step by step how to.

First and foremost, moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. My favorite is Z. Bigatti Re-Storation Illuminate.
Next I mix in the palm of my hand Giorgio Armani’s Maestro fusion foundation and his fabulous fluid sheer shimmer and apply all over my face.
Then its time to fill in my eyebrows with “Eliza’s” brow definer followed by her brow shaper gel.
On to eye lash curling with my “Japonesque” curler. Freaky for my family to witness.
I use my “no mascara mascara” for lengthening and definition.
Starting from my forehead, I use a very generous sweep of bronzer all over my face.
I massage a bit of my “no blush blush” along my cheekbones for a healthy flush.
A few spritzes of Tatcha’s luminous dewy skin mist for the finale.
Last but not least, a sheer lip gloss completes the oh so very, “no natural, natural look”.
