The interview of a professional makeup artist
GirlsFromMainStreet.com: What is the best way to identify the perfect foundation for her complexion?
Sarah Malher: There is a fundamental rule for choosing the right background of dyed summer and winter, it is always to take the color closest to your own complexion. In any case, you should never opt for a shade darker or lighter because you will end up with a demarcation in the neck. In some countries, makeup that stops at the chin does not shock but here, the French do not like it at all. She especially wants the result to be very natural. For this, there are two areas on which it is easy to find the concordance: either on the nose stop or inside the thumb.
GirlsFromMainStreet.com: Yet many women tend to think that the choice of the right shade is done inside the wrist?
Sarah Malher: Actually when you look at the inside of your wrist, you realize that the skin is transparent, thin, full of veins and therefore absolutely not representative of your own color. This is why it is best to choose the nose stop because being in the middle of the face, there is a good chance that the rest of the figure is the same color or the inside of the thumb. It will then be enough for you to apply a point of dyed from the base to the level of the nail which will allow you to heat the product well. The right color will be the one that is not visible.
GirlsFromMainStreet.com: What are your tips for having a flawless complexion?
Sarah Malher: The quality of a makeup result at a background of dyed results primarily from upstream care. The makeup should be only to highlight a beautiful glowing skin. A day cream is the essential step before the application of a background of dyed because it provides protection and hydration. The land thus prepared, the construction of the dyed will be impeccable. After this first gesture, I advise to mix a third of your bottom of dyed, a third of Smooth Low Fill Minute and a third of the Eclat Minute Embelliseur dyed, two leading products at Clarins. It is a recipe that we released more than a year ago and that pleases our customers. The bottom of dyed will provide the necessary coverage, the Smooth Minute will work all the differences in facial reliefs such as fine lines and theEclat Minute will illuminate, unify the dyed and reveal the radiant freshness and transparency of the skin.
GirlsFromMainStreet.com: What do you think of anti-aging or moisturizing foundations that are very present in the market?
Sarah Malher: A background of dyed moisturizer or anti-aging will complete and complete the treatment but in no case will it replace it. It will not act in depth but only on the upper layers of the skin.
