Because the serums and moisturizers have been working so well my new thing is to not use any foundation. I still use concealer and of course use eyeliner. The first thing I do in the morning, before I even eat or anything, is put on eyeliner. My favorite eyeliner is Chanel’s Stylo Yeux. As I mentioned in a post a while back, I tend to only line the upper inner lid, trying to run the stylo just outside the water line, at the base of the lashes. I also like to add just a touch to the outer corner of the upper lid. It gives a subtle yet well-defined emphasis to the eyes on top of which an array of eyeshadows can be applied. Because the lining effect is not heavy, even subtle shades of shadows look good, especially for healthy yet slightly exotic day looks.
Today when I was at a Chanel counter I asked the artist about applying finishing products to skin without foundation and she said that sure it can be done. In fact she said that, had I not told her, she would not have known that I wasn’t wearing foundation. Ultra-compliment! 🙂
So we went for it and she used two different shades of Les Beiges to contour and highlight. We could have stopped at that but I opted for a little blush for some more color.
A very clean, natural, yet refined look and I’m happy to know that yes, I can incorporate nothing into my regimen!
