My Favorite Westman Atelier Products

Fashion Jackson Westman Atelier Makeup Review

I first started using Westman Atelier products about two years ago. The mascara was the first product I tried, and I fell in love fast (speaking of—if you missed it, I have a blog post featuring clean mascaras, and the Westman was by far my favorite). Thus began the obsession with WA makeup. 

If you aren't familiar with Westman Atelier, this is your chance to discover a standard of clean luxury makeup. Founded by the world-renowned editorial makeup artist Gucci Westman, Westman Atelier is a curated edit of skin-loving, performance-first makeup that's always effortless and never overdone. Westman believes passionately that luxury, efficacy, and clean are synonymous with exceptional makeup. 

Nordstrom has a great selection of Westman Atelier products, and some locations carry in-store! At this point, I own pretty much every product because I love them all. In today’s post, I’m sharing what I consider to be the best Westman Atelier products in my makeup drawer and why I find each product exceptional.




Skincare Makeup System:

We asked our employees how they use our Skincare Makeup System and how it fits into their makeup routine. Our 3-step system is designed to create a flawless, long-lasting and good-for-the-skin foundation base. First, start with Smooth Affair Brightening Face Primer to help makeup last longer and go on smoother. Then add coverage and sun protection with our. Finally, spritz your complexion with Palmist Hydration Spray to help set your minerals and deliver antioxidant protection.



I’ve been a pure pressed Base user since 2015 and I don’t see myself straying anytime soon (or, ever!). Whether I am getting ready for work, a date night, or some fun in the sun, I don’t leave my house without applying. I love that pure Pressed Base is a 4-in-1 product: concealer, foundation, sunscreen and skincare. Not to mention, it is so easy and quick to apply!

Every morning after completing my daily skincare routine, I prime my skin with Smooth Affair Brightening Face Primer. Aside from minimizing the appearance of pores and fine lines, it truly is the best base for my pressed powder and allows my makeup to last throughout the day.

I always use The Hindi Brush with my pure Pressed Base in Radiant for a full-face application, followed by the Sculpting Brush for targeted camouflaging and lastly the Flocked Sponge for added coverage under my eyes. Of course, I must end with a few (or five!) spritzes of my favorite Hydration Spray, POMMISST. Not only is the scent so refreshing, but it is designed to set the minerals and provide a smooth, skin-like finish.

After applying my foundation, I like to add a little color back to my skin. Lately my go-to combo has been the Glow Time Bronzer and Blush Sticks. Fervor provides the perfect amount of color to the apples of my cheeks and Scorch adds a beautiful, light contour.

I always find myself reaching for the Pure Brow Precision Pencil in Dark Brown. I love this brow pencil because it allows me to draw in a few hair-like strokes in sparse areas. Continuing with eyes, I apply a few swipes of Beyond Lash Mascara and lastly, I grab my favorite Hydro Pure Hyaluronic Acid Lip Gloss in Kier Royale to apply on my lips. This entire look takes me no longer than 5 minutes to complete in the morning and leaves me feeling like an elevated version of myself.

Next, we asked Erica, our Sr. Manager of Brand Marketing and E-Commerce, to share how she uses our Skincare Makeup System in her routine:

The Skincare Makeup System is part of my everyday makeup routine. Throughout my years of using these products together, I have found the perfect combination to give me a healthy, natural glow! 

After I cleanse and moisturize, I begin with Smooth Affair Illuminating Glow Face Primer. This is the best primer of all time because it gives the most natural, subtle glow while also smoothing the appearance of my pores. Honestly, I use this by itself for truly no-makeup makeup days. Then, I apply Hydro Pure Tinted Serum in the shade Medium 4. This is the perfect bridge between skincare and makeup. It hydrates my skin and creates the best blurring, skin tone-evening base for my foundation.

Next, I apply pure Pressed Base Mineral Foundations. The combination between the dewy, skincare-infused Hydro Pure Tinted Serum and the light-weight mineral powder of pure Pressed Base provides a natural, glow (but not shiny), healthy look. The combination between Hydro Pure Tinted Serum and pure Pressed Base is truly magic (not to sound dramatic, but YES, IT’S TRUE!) It looks like you have no makeup on, in the best way possible.

Then to set my whole look and to bring out even more hydrated radiance to my complexion, I use POMMISST Hydration Spray. The Hydration Spray makes pure Pressed Base match my skin even more perfectly and makes my makeup last all day long.

This routine and combination of products works for all skin tones, types and preferences. This is my holy grail, and I love to share it with as many people as possible!

 








My 5 Minute Make Up Routine


5 Minute Makeup Routine

Fun fact: I’m just not a makeup girlie. It was never something I got into. BUT…I still like a little something something. So that’s where my 5 minute makeup comes in. And hopefully you’re catching this at the right time .

The 5 Minute Makeup Routine

Let me back up a little bit. Before you start your 5 minute makeup routine you should definitely do your skincare routine. I have a fairly simple one that I really stick to every day. Having a good skincare routine is SO important, and I’m happy I started taking care of my skin in my mid-20s.

  • Merit Great Skin Glow Serum This product is the real deal for me. I noticed my sister had it, so obviously I used it. I think I purchased it on my phone then and there. I love starting my 5 minute makeup routine with this serum. It gives me the perfect dewy look and a great base for makeup.
  • Drunk Elephant Bronzing Drops I’ve been using these bronzing drops for almost a year now and think they’re the perfect addition to this process. Just mix a few drops in with your moisturizer, and BAM! It gives some bronzed goddess energy without having to fully self tan. I will say it fades as the day goes on, but I guess that’s kind of to be expected?
  • Ilia In Full Micro Tip Eyebrow Pencil I love a good brow. And I love, love, love a good DARK brow. To be completely honest, I don’t LOVE this pencil. But it’s a solid one, and I don’t want it to go to waste. I’m not going to rebuy it, BUT this step will always in my 5 minute makeup routine.
  • Merit Flush Balm Cream Blush In addition to a good brow, I love color on the cheek. I’m so happy I bought this blush because I really do love it. I got the color Persimmon a few months ago and just purchased Stockholm during the sale!
  • Laneige Lip Mask Okay okay, I know this is technically is a sleeping mask, but I love putting this on in the morning to finish off getting ready. I put a little less on than I normally do at night because I know a little goes a long way. I love that this keeps my lips extra hydrated a little bit longer than my lip balm, and it gives such a pretty shine.

Fall Eye Trends, Simplified

With Fall in full swing, we wanted to celebrate the best season with some trendy eye looks (and yes, it is the best season! If your favorite season is different, comment it below.) These looks are toned-down, wearable versions of what you might've seen on the Fall/Winter runways. Try one or all three of these looks when you're apple picking, leaf peeping and carving pumpkins!

Smoky Neutral Ey Makeup Tutorial

  • Using the Naturally Glam Eye Shadow Kit, apply Laceto the lids and blend Chenilleinto the crease and outward.
  • Highlight the brow bone and inner corner with Feather.
  • Smoke out the lower and upper lash lines with Velvet.
  • Line the top lashes with Dark TopazMystikol eyeliner.
  • Complete the look with lash conditioner and mascara.

How to Create Graphic Eyeliner

  • Get creative! UseOnyxMystikol eyeliner to create a long-lasting, smudge-proof look.
  • Try a double-winged liner by adding a flick to the outer corner of your eyeliner and adding an extra flick above or below the first one.

  • Sweep the shimmery medium pink shade in the TwilightPurePressed triple across the lids.
  • Blend the shimmery berry into the crease and smoke out to soften.
  • Line the lower lash line with the shimmery platinum.

Bold & Bright Color Luxe Lipstick Tryon

    summer gradually comes to an end, I'm soaking up the last moments with some fun, bright lip colors featuring our new Color Luxe Hydrating Cream Lipstick. I tend to wear a lot of black, so pinks, oranges, and corals are my go-to lip colors to add a playful touch to my look. I'm also gearing up for fall by experimenting with deeper, bolder hues. Burgundies, plums, and rich reds bring a sense of warmth and sophistication to my makeup look.

    The Color Luxe tube feels soft and sleek in your hands. The lipstick glides up smoothly and the cap feels snug and secure. There is a color swatch sticker on the bottom of the tube making it easy to grab the right shade from your kit.

    poppy lip color poppy lip color

    I've been on a bit of a vermillion kick this summer and Poppy matched my nail polish and necklace so I took this as a sign to begin my Color Luxe journey here. Poppy is a warm medium-dark orange red shade that melted onto my lips and felt super nourishing. I'm impressed with how much pigment it has while still feeling weightless. I'm absolutely obsessed with this lip color. The second photo was taken a few hours later, I had a couple glasses of water and a snack in between. The color is still going strong with no touch up! The formula has dried down a lot but my lips still feel moisturized.

    Peony Lipstick Peony lipstick

    Next up in our hydrating lipstick lineup is Peony, a cool medium fuchsia shade. Peony has a fun, cheerful vibe — when you wear it you can’t help but feel happy and energized. I'm going to have this lip color on hand for end-of-summer parties.

     candy apple lipstick

    Candy Apple is a gorgeous cool-toned shade of red that invokes thoughts of sweet treats and warm, cozy sweaters. This is the perfect fall lipstick to wear to festivals and pumpkin patches.

    Passionfruit Lipstick 

    Passionfruit, a cool dark fuchsia shade, is the perfect balance of boldness and playfulness, making it an ideal choice for both casual and formal events this fall. This shade is definitely going to be one of my go-to fall lipstick colors.

     

    Lastly, Bordeaux. This shade surprised me. It's a deep burgundy that at first glance seemed too dark for me, but once applied it gave off a romantic and sophisticated vibe. Perfect for a fall date night. I'm in love! 

    My overall thoughts — Color Luxe is a moisturizing lipstick that feels light, creamy and nourishing like a lip balm but has the color and staying power of a lip stain. I found that I would forget that I was wearing it and was pleasantly surprised by how pretty my lips looked when I would catch a glance of myself in the mirror. My favorite part is how easy it was to apply it, one swipe gave me all the color I needed. If you want a nourishing, lightweight yet highly pigmented lip color I definitely suggest giving Color Luxe a try — and don't be afraid of the bold & bright colors! 

    If you’re not sure which color to try first, check out our lip color quiz to find the perfect shade!



Natural Wedding Makeup Look

Whether you're a bride to be, a dedicated maid of honor, or a guest at an upcoming wedding, there is one look that is universally accepted. We're talking about effortless glowing skin and simple makeup. That's why natural wedding makeup is our go-to for spring and summer ceremonies. When creating a natural wedding makeup look, you should keep a few things in mind:
  • It's all about your skin: Your skin should look glowing and hydrated. Steer clear of the overly matte look.
  • You shouldn't feel overdone: The result should be a clean, soft makeup application.
  • The Look is timeless: As a bride, your natural wedding makeup should feel as elegant in 20 years as it does on your big day.

Makeup Tutorial: Natural Wedding Makeup

To learn how to create this natural wedding makeup look, we asked our Global Makeup Educator Natalie Soto-Carlisle for advice. Here is her step-by-step tutorial on how to recreate this look whether you're a bride-to-be or a loving guest.

A Good Base is Key

  • First, apply Smooth Affair Facial Primer and Brightener all over your face with your fingers or a Foundation Brush.
  • Then, using a Foundation Brush, apply Liquid Minerals.
  • Set your liquid foundation by applying Amazing Base Loose Mineral Foundation with a Chisel Powder Brush.
  • Finish your look by spritzing D2O Hydration Spray on your skin to lock the minerals in place.

Go Naturally Matte

  • To create a natural brow, apply the powder and wax from the GreatShape Eyebrow Kit with the Angled Brow Brush. Keep your brows in place all day with Clear PureBrow Brow Gel.
  • Prime your eye lids with Petal Smooth Affair for Eyes; you can use your fingers or a Camouflage Brush.
  • Grab the Naturally Matte Eye Shadow Kit for a fresh eye makeup look.
    • First Apply the Hush shade from lash line to crease with Eye Shader Brush.
    • Next, line the top lash line with the Fudge shade using the Smudge Brush.
    • Then, apply the Buttercream shade to the inner corner of your eye using the Deluxe Shader Brush.
  • Apply Black/Brown Eye Pencil to your water line.

Highlighting and Contouring



strobing, apply highlighter, girl with highlighter


Even if you’re not a total beauty junkie, chances are you have heard of highlighting and contouring. They’ve been around forever, but it seems every few months new techniques make their way into mainstream conversations thanks to bloggers and social media. Think of strobing, clowning and baking, to start. The reason these techniques are so popular is because of the results they provide. Highlighting and contouring work together to sculpt and refine your face and enhance the features you love, making them a fun way to play around with different looks, even if it’s just for date night. Some tutorials can be intimidating and look like you need to use a lot of makeup, but really the most important thing to remember when trying any new makeup technique is you can keep it really simple or go dramatic to get the results you are looking for. There are several methods and products used for highlighting and contouring. What makes them successful is:

  • Each one complements the other to achieve the optimum result.
  • They’re appropriate for the setting (e.g. heavy shading is best for nighttime looks).
  • They’re well blended.
  • The shades used are as natural-looking as possible.
Let’s start by learning to apply highlighter!

Where to Apply Highlighter

How to Apply Highlighter to your Face in 3 Easy Steps

If you're a highlighting novice, here's a quick tutorial to bring the focus to the center of your face, make you look more awake, and get you out of the house fast! The purpose of highlighting is to emphasize and bring areas forward. Highlighting shades should be lighter than your skin tone, and they can be matte or contain shimmer. The best three places to apply a highlighter are:
  1. Under your eyes on your cheekbone.
  2. Down to the bridge of your nose.
  3. Across the upper apples of your cheeks, just past the outer corners of your eyes.

Advanced Highlighting Techniques

Are you ready to take the next step in highlighting? Here's where to apply highlighter for more dramatic results:
  • Center of your forehead –Gently brush a matte highlighter outward in a star-shaped pattern.
  • Bridge of your nose –Sweep highlighter down the bridge of your nose to bring attention to the middle of your face.
  • Inner corner of your eyes –Dab a champagne or gold (depending on your undertones) highlighter in the corners to make your eyes pop.
  • Brow bone –Apply a shimmery highlighter on your brow bone to emphasize your arch, help hide stray hairs and give the illusion of larger eyes.
  • Top of your cheekbone –Brush highlighter on your cheek bone to diminish the appearance of dark under-eye circles and define your cheek bone.
  • Upper apple of your cheek –Add luminosity to the apples of your cheeks by applying highlighter over your blush.
  • Cupid’s bow –Using a concealer brush, apply a small amount of highlighter to your cupid’s bow to give your lips a more dimensional look.
  • Center of your bottom lip –With your finger, dab shimmer in the middle of your bottom lip to make it look fuller.
  • Center of your chin –A touch of highlighter at the center of your chin helps guide attention toward the center line of your face.

The holidays are over, the ground is starting to thaw, and it looks like there’s some warmth on the horizon. This can be an exciting time for many as we put away heavy coats and sweaters to make room for lighter fabrics and pastel tones. There’s nothing better than that first warm day of opening all the windows and looking outside to see the greenery coming through. The transition from winter to spring can be a lovely time to reevaluate our skincare and makeup wardrobe as well, and experiment with new spring makeup looks. A temperatures rise, our skin will typically experience things like more perspiration, higher sebum production and a greater need for SPF. The truth is keeping our skin regimen in sync with the seasons just makes good sense. Let’s look at some ways we can prepare for warmer weather.

The Clean Start: Swap Your Makeup Remover in Spring


During the cold winter months, we often switch to creamy cleansers and balms to remove makeup. Some people choose to return to soaps or foaming cleansers during the warmer months. While this change can be lighter on the skin than heavy cleansing balms, keep in mind that foaming cleansers and soaps can sometimes strip and even dry out the skin. 
  • A great moisturizing face cleanser duo is jane Beauty Prep Face Cleanser and Magic Mitt. The Beauty Prep Face Cleanser is an excellent alternative to traditional cleansers because it is a Micellar Water cleanser rather than soap based. Made from nourishing ingredients like Cucumber and Aloe, it won’t dry the skin, yet you’ll find its just as effective. Micellar Water lifts dirt and impurities from skin gently and leaves a layer of soothing hydration that absorbs right in. 
  • The Magic Mitt is made from microfibers that are smaller than a human hair. They mimic the action of emulsification dissolving makeup and residue to get skin incredibly clean without upsetting the pH or drying the skin. When combined with the Beauty Prep Face Cleanser, the results of this face cleanser duo are amazing!
  • Warm up the Magic Mitt under warm water and apply a few drops of Beauty Prep Face Cleanser on top. Then gently scrub in a circular direction all over the face, including around the eyes and on the lips. Keep your Magic Mitt clean by washing it with soap after using and letting it air dry.

Prime Before You Paint: What Finish Do You Want Your Spring Makeup To Have?

During the winter, you may have been using one of our Smooth Affair Primers to keep makeup looking smooth and hydrated. This isn’t a practice that you should quit when weather gets warm. Just keep in mind what kind of finish you want your skin to have. Here are two face primers we highly recommend for seasonal transitions:

  • Smooth Affair Brightening Face Primer is still our most popular face primer, famous for giving the skin a healthy, hydrated appearance. During transitional times, it will ensure that your makeup stays smooth and hydrated-looking regardless of the temperature. 
  • Smooth Affair Mattifying Face Primer is a great way to compensate if your skin tends to easily get shiny in warmer weather, making it the perfect base for spring makeup looks. But know, even though it mattifies, it won’t dry out your skin. Rather it calibrates the sebum and moisture balance of your skin for excellent makeup longevity and an even looking complexion. 

Built On The Right Foundation: Go for Sheer Coverage Spring Makeup

Because our skin tends to get blotchy and red in the winter, many people choose makeup with more coverage. Spring is an excellent time to go for more sheer makeup looks and let your skin breathe. At jane iredale, breathable foundations are what we’re known for. Here are some of our most popular formulas:
  • Hydro Pure Tinted Serum – Even though this is one of our most hydrating foundations and favorite for winter, most people find that it takes them well into warmer months because it is so lightweight. The nourishing ingredients and liposome technology also help the skin to continue recovering from the long winter dehydration that might have occurred. Just remember to apply an SPF over or under it to keep your skin protected.
  • Dream Tint Tinted Moisturizer– This long-awaited return couldn’t have happened at a better time. Yes! Dream Tint is back and ready to take your skin into the Spring and Summer with a lightweight finish, a broad-spectrum SPF and beautiful skin-like finish that everyone loves. Wear it alone as the perfect spring makeup base or under our Pure Pressed Base for extra coverage.
  • Pure Pressed Base– Of course we can’t make the transition to warmer months without our favorite product, jane is bestseller, to carry with us. This weightless 4-in-1 powder, foundation, concealer, and SPF is a staple whether we wear it alone or over another product. Use it in the morning and take it with you for touchups throughout the day. Pure pressed Base is a great addition to any spring makeup look since it’s such a versatile product.

Warm Me With A Kiss: Spring Lip Must Haves


The final step of our wardrobe is an imperative, the lips. They get chapped in the winter and burned in the summer; so often overlooked, we must take care of them, especially as weather warms up. Here are a few really important products to consider as we move into warmer temperatures:
  • Hydro Pure Hyaluronic Lip Treatment – This is a product purely created for repair. Made with wonderful ingredients  it helps lips retain moisture and restores their natural moisture. It also smooths lip texture and makes them look more youthful. It’s the perfect product to help lips recover from winter cold.
  • Lip Drink Lip Balm– If we’re going back out into the outdoors, Lip Drink is a must. Available in the shades Flirt, Crush, Buff and Sheer, this SPF 15 lip balm has a petroleum-free, hydrating formula that provide an antioxidant-rich protective shield. You’ll love the way it feels and how easy it is to wear. And if you get a seasonal cold, apply a little to your chapped nose for relief and recovery!
  • Color Luxe Hydrating Cream Lipstick– This is our newest lip formula and a beautiful addition to your spring makeup collection. Its finish is rich and luminous, and its formula drenches the lips with moisture. You’ll love all the gorgeous colors it comes in and how long it lasts on your lips. 

Coming out of the cold doesn’t have to be a traumatic experience for your skin. Just keep in mind that your body goes through a transition when the seasons change and plan your spring makeup accordingly. So open your windows, step outside and take a deep breath. Enjoy the warmth on your skin and know that we’ve got you covered. 




MAKEUP TIPS FOR SENSITIVE SKIN

sensitive skin makeup tips and skin care advice

According to a number of studies, over 50% of adults categorize their skin as sensitive ¹, but the term "sensitive skin" means different things for everyone. In an article from the Expert Review of Dermatology, sensitive or reactive skin is defined as: "the occurrence of abnormal stinging, burning, pain, and tingling sensations in response to multiple factors, which may be physical, chemical, psychological or hormonal."² Skin sensitivity can be an isolated occurrence or an ongoing issue caused by conditions such as rosacea or eczema. Regardless of the root cause, we all have sensitive skin at one point or another; many of us may even find winter weather to be the main case of this issue. Whether you suffer from chronic skin sensitivity or experience infrequent or seasonal irritation, there are a number of things you can do to minimize the likelihood of an abnormal skin reaction.

Sun Protection

Almost every dermatologist will tell you the best thing you can do for your skin is to apply sunscreen. This is even more true for those with sensitive skin, which may react more to external triggers like sun and heat. Additionally, Titanium Dioxide, used in physical sunscreens, helps calm swelling and is listed in the FDA monograph as one of the purest and most effective active ingredients for sun protection.

Shop Wisely

When shopping for new skin care and cosmetics, the back of the box is your best friend. You want to avoid ingredients that will make your skin react like artificial perfumes, dyes, harsh chemicals and parabens.

Cleanse with Care

Regardless of your skin type, over-exfoliating and over-cleansing can cause skin irritation. You want to treat your skin with kindness as you would the rest of your body, so here are some cleansing tips to remember:
  • Wash your face and body with lukewarm water, as opposed to steaming hot, which can dry out your skin and create redness that is difficult to calm.
  • Use gentle exfoliators and cleansers. Your face wash should be effective enough to remove makeup and dirt, without stripping the oils from your skin or forcing you to scrub hard.
  • Exfoliate, at most, three days per week.
  • When you're done washing your face, blot the skin dry (don't rub) and immediately apply moisturizer for maximum absorption.

Test It Out

When considering new skin care products, always do a patch test before diving in head first. This precautionary test should be done at least 24 hours prior to full application. If your skin is very reactive, you may want to patch test it for as long as a week. To do so, apply a small amount of product to an area around the size of a dime. The location of the test depends on what you are testing for; do it behind the ear to test for an allergic reaction or on your most sensitive area to test for irritation.
Feed Your Skin

They say "you are what you eat" for a reason. Skin sensitivity is not only about what goes on your skin; it's also about what you put in your body. Depending on your sensitivity triggers, there are certain foods your doctor may recommend you avoid. But, overall, you should treat your food like you would your skin care. Try to stay away from overly processed foods with a lot of artificial ingredients. You can also help you skin stay hydrated by drinking water; if you feel thirsty, your skin feels the same way.

 Valentine’s Day Makeup Looks


Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, a special time of year when we celebrate the love in our lives and put our passion on display with various shades of red and pink. In honor of love’s big day, I’m sharing my top picks for easy Valentine lip looks you’re sure to love.

Lip Look #1

I’m a firm believer that the most important love is self-love, so for my first pick, I’m giving myself roses – Candied Rose HydroPure Hyaluronic Acid Lip Gloss and Warm Rose Lip Pencil.

This duo’s compatibility is off the charts with lip-loving ingredients like Jojoba Seed Oil, Mango Seed Oil and Shea Butter. HydroPure Lip Gloss also gives an extra boost of hydration with Hyaluronic Acid, so my lips feel soft and ultra-kissable. I line and fill with the pencil for definition and a flood of color before topping with the tinted gloss for a healthy dose of shine. The complementary shades deliver a feminine, swoon-worthy pink lip perfect for day or (date) night.

Lip Look #2

The foundation of every great love story is great chemistry – enter pick two, Forever Pink Just Kissed Lip and Cheek Stain, a long-lasting stain that adjusts to your body chemistry for a truly unique hue.

HydroPure™ Hyaluronic Acid Lip Gloss

This multipurpose stain really gets me, delivering the most beautiful pink tint to flatter my skin’s natural undertone. It’s a smooth operator, formulated with skin-softening Avocado Butter, Wild Rose Wax and Olive Butter, so it glides on like my favorite lip balm, only better. I love that I can also swipe it on my cheeks for a flirty flush. It’s easy, totally wearable and romantic. Remember, you don’t need a Valentine to be just-kissed.

Lip Look #3

My third and final pick really gets my heart racing! If you’re looking for commitment, look no further than Obsession Beyond Matte Lip Stain, an ultra-long-lasting stain that will never break your heart.

valentine's day lip looks

This pigment-packed stain is true to its word, delivering powerful payoff and a beyond matte finish – no feathering, no fading. One swipe is all I need to get the bold, full-coverage look I love. It’s formulated with nourishing plant oils, so my lips look matte without feeling dry, and the touch of Tahitian Vanilla makes this beauty extra sweet. I also have it on good authority that it will easily last through a full one-pound box of chocolates.

Whether you’re getting gussied up for Galentine’s dinner or retreating to the couch for your favorite rom-com, there’s a lip look for every occasion. I hope you love these as much as I do.


A Skin-Friendly Makeup Routine

how to use hydropure tinted serum

As a diehard Liquid Minerals lover, I was apprehensive and excited about HydroPure Tinted Serum. I hoped it would have the same serum-like texture with the sheer tint that I love, and I was not disappointed! HydroPure Tinted Serum is packed with skincare ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, CoQ10, Olive Squalaneand, of course, pure mineral pigments for a natural-looking tint. This skin-loving formula has led many people to wonder if HydroPure Tinted Serum is skincare or makeup. For me, it’s definitively makeup;I love the super sheer coverage and ultra-glowy finish it gives my normal-to-dry skin. Here's how I like to use HydroPure Tinted Serum!

How to Use HydroPure Tinted Serum: My Makeup Routine

1. HydroPure Tinted Serum
I start with two pumps and apply with my fingers. I find that using my fingers is a fast and easy way to apply my base, plus my fingers break down the encapsulated liposomes super easily.

apply hydropure tinted serum

2. Enlighten Concealer
I have dark under eyes, so for me it’s important to use a concealer. I love Enlighten Concealer because it’s a creamy formula with the perfect peachy undertone to camouflage my dark circles.

3. PurePressed Base Mineral Foundation
If I’m having a good skin day, I’ll skip PurePressed Base, but if I have a breakout, I like to pat PurePressed Base onto that area for added coverage.

4. POMMISST Hydration Spray
Whether I use PurePressed Base or not, I love to set my complexion with POMMISST Hydration Spray. The uplifting scent and antioxidant protection are added benefits to my skin.

5. Glow Time Blush Stick
I love pairing HydroPure Tinted Serum with a cream blush formula, so Glow Time Blush Stick was a no brainer! I used the shade Balmy on my cheeks and lips for added glow and color.

6. PureLash Lash Extender & Conditioner
To finish my simple, 5-minute face, I use PureLash Lash Extender & Conditioner and Longest Lash mascara. When used together these two lash items make my lashes look full, long and heathy!

I love the glowy, natural-looking coverage HydroPure Tinted Serum gives my skin; it’s a bonus that I’m doing my skin a favor by using a product full of skin-loving ingredients. And don’t worry, if you’re someone who likes more coverage, apply PurePressed Base after applying HydroPure Tinted Serum. By layering HydroPure Tinted Serum and PurePressed Base, your complexion will look refreshed and flawless. If you try out HydroPure Tinted Serum, don’t forget to tag
