I’m proud to say that a friend and New Orleans native, makeup artist Fatimot Isadara had a hand in helping the brand become more inclusive in their complexion offerings. Originally, there were only 5 shades of each product and now there’s 12. Cherry is my favorite because it adds a small hint of color to my lips and smells like the my childhood cherry flavored Chapstick.Glossier expanded the shade range of their Skin Tint and Stretch Concealer to include more shade options of deeper skin tones and I couldn’t be more excited. About three months ago the Balm Dot Com family expanded with three flavors: Cherry, Mint and Rose. Eyelids, elbows, cheekbones, lips and cuticles alike are all welcome. Any spot that needs a little extra moisture is worthy of the Balm Dot Com. Generation G is something I keep in my purse and will wear and re-apply throughout the day without fuss, knowing that it’s accentuated the natural color of my lips.īalm Dot Com : This skin salve was the first product produced by Glossier, and for that reason has universal appeal. I’ve noticed recently that I tend to gravitate towards lips that do not have sparkle and shimmer. Wearing lipgloss (and even certain lipsticks) can look too done for my style and taste. If I wanted to create a bolder lip, I would simply swipe on a few more layers. I gravitated towards Like because it brings out my natural lip color without actually looking like I applied anything. There are currently four different shades: Cake, Like, Crush and Jam. The best part is how build-able the color is. You get a matte stain that moisturizes and stays put. Generation G : Most of the time one has to choose between a matte lipstick which is usually drying, or a moisturizing lipstick that rubs off your lips within the hour. My favorite part about this product is the small and useful wand which enables you to precisely style your brows. I use Boy Brow in Blonde to style and lightly enhance the volume of the brow with it’s subtle tint. I prefer a natural brow that’s not overly and/or perfectly plucked with a complimentary shape. Quartz will give you that healthy dewy twinkle, especially when it hits the sunlight.īoy Brow : Brows are the frame of the face and therefore very important. Places of application include the cupids bow, inner corners of the eye and the ‘halo’, which is a backwards C shape from your cheekbone to the end of your eyebrow. Both Topaz and Quartz are flattering on all skin types, however, at the moment Quartz has been my sheen of choice. Previously I was never into highlighting and now my makeup routine wouldn’t be complete without it. Infused with actual crystals and a moisturizing center, founder and CEO Emily Weiss compared the highlighter to that of a glazed doughnut. Haloscope : This is Glossier’s most recent product. Summer in NYC definitely calls for a product like this because there’s nothing like a cool refreshing rose scented mist on a hot and humid day. I would also recommend using the mist throughout the day to reset the skin. Soothing Face Mist : With its light rose aroma the Soothing Face Mist is my favorite to spray on first thing in the morning, moments after opening my eyes, as a wonderfully delicate and refreshing way to wake up. Remember, prepping your skin for makeup is just as important, if not more important than the actual make-up application itself. Here are my spark notes for some of my favorite Glossier products: If you’re looking for the perfect ‘no make-up’ make-up and affordable skincare, may I introduce you to Glossier. And recently the tides have been shifting when it comes to makeup, leaning in a more natural and unfussy direction. You’ve heard it all before, hydration is important, both water consumption and topical moisturizing. Therefore getting that healthy glow all over is key. Revealing and concealing the skin all over the body is one of my favorite aspects of style, with its limitless possibilities and unique way of captivating. Gorgeous skin is truly a reflection of good health and well being, starting from the inside out-completing every look as your best and most alluring accessory.
