​With Christmas just around the corner and the invites for holiday parties not far away, we’re talking to LA based makeup artist, Françoise Saint-Pierre on one of the hottest makeup looks for the ‘sparkliest’ season and just how we need to apply it to be the belle of the ball.
 
Saint-Pierre, what’s your take on the winter look we should be wearing this season?
 
This winter is very eccentric and a smokey eye with a pop of pink or blue is on the agenda!

Love the idea of a smokey eye with a pop of pink! OK tell us where to start!

PREPPING THE SKIN
​

Prepping the skin is the most important step. Should time allow it, I like to do a light scrub followed by a sheet facemask and a lip scrub. I like GlamGlow Lip Exfoliating treatment.

If I’m in a hurry, I use pads like FAB First Aid Beauty – Facial Radiance Pads,
which help tone and exfoliate.

MOISTURIZE


Makeup artists’ go-to moisturizer is Embryolisse Lait Crème. It is good on every skin type. I finish prepping the skin with some rose water or a hydrating mist.

EYES


I always do the eyes first. There is nothing more frustrating than eye shadow fall-out. The holidays are the perfect occasion for a smoky eye. First, I use an eyelid primer, such as Urban Decay or TooFaced.

​Red hues are in this winter and they look amazing on brown eyes. One by Pink eyeshadow palette - Pat McGrath Labs works perfectly for the look.

HOW TO APPLY THE EYE SHADOW


 
  1. Start by applying the highlight shade to the brow bone without touching the lid.
  2. The transitional shade (or medium shade) is then applied on the crease or where you wish to create the illusion of one. I like to use a dome blending brush and work in circular motions from the outside to the inside corner of the eye. Make sure to tap the brush after picking up eye shadow.
  3. Then take the darkest shade and pack it on the mobile lid with a medium flat brush.
  4. Finally, I blend the darkest color with the transitional one to create an upward transition from the mobile lid with a very small dome brush.
  5. I finish by using the transitional color to define the lower lashes. I line the upper and lower water line with Inglot AMC Eyeliner Gel in #77.

PRIME THE SKIN 
​

My Favorite primer is Météorites Oxygen Care Moisturizer & Radiance Booster.

  1. ​I recommend using a BB cream first
  2. The use a cream foundation with more coverage on the areas that need extra help.  I like Laura Mercier Tinted moisturizer and Koh Gen Do Moisture Foundation for the base.

3.  To go over imperfections, I use Tom Ford foundation sticks or Estée Lauder Double Wear Foundation. 


CONCEALER
​

 
  1. I recommend applying the concealer in a rectangular shape under the eye to make sure there are no reverse racoon eyes in photos and also to illuminate the center of the face.
  2. I like Kevyn Aucoin Skin Enhancer Concealer, which is easy to mix with an eye cream for a more liquid texture.

HIGHLIGHT
​

I prefer using liquid or cream highlighter. I have two favorites: Tom Ford Shade and Illuminate and Kevyn Aucoin Celestial Skin liquid.

CHEEKS 
​

For the cheeks, same as for the highlighter, I stay away from powder, I apply a very small amount and never go passed the middle of the eye. I like Stila Cosmetics Convertible color in Gerbera.

LIPS


For this look I line the lips with MAC Stripdown and use Charlotte Tilsbury Penelope Pink for lipstick.

Do you have any other tips for popular makeup looks this winter?
 

Another popular look for Fall/ Winter 2018-2019 is a bare face with bright crimson red lips. I like the classic Ruby Woo from MAC or Dragon girl from NARS.
