What’s About: Everyday Makeup for Dry Skin.

This is How I Roll

When I wake up, I prep my skin to every kind of treatment or just a base for a long-staying makeup. So I wash my face with the cleansing foam (Uva & Salvia) by Caudalie, and then I dab some hydrating tonic lotion in with a small cotton pad (also by Caudalie).

After that, I use a rich moisturizer, usually the Total Moisture facial cream by Benefit (I recommend it for thirsty and dry skin: it’s perfect for winter, thanks to its tri-radiance complex formula, which leaves the skin dramatically hydrated and radiant).

Stepping forward to the makeup, I prefer something light and glowy that makes my skin look fresh and well-rested. First thing, I apply a moisturizing foundation with medium coverage, such as the 24Ore Care perfection from Deborah Milano, moving then to concealing with Boeing Hydrating concealer by Benefit (if you apply it with your fingers, it’ll leave the skin soft through the day, thanks to the apple juice formula in it).

To make the eye radiant, on the upper lid I use a shiny eyeshadow with warm and golden tones, or a highlighter such as the Artist face color refill h106 Shimmery Champagne from MUFE.

Then, I comb my eyebrows with the Brow Zings kit from Benefit, moving then to a huge favorite of mine, the Better than Sex mascara (in Waterproof, to avoid any smudging) from Too Faced. I finish my makeup with a light touch of bronzer with Benefit’s Hoola and, after that, I use a nude shade of lipstick, like the MLBB from the new Cliomakeupshop or a long-staying lip tint such as the shade Marsili Nude from the online brand WeMakeup.

“A huge favorite
of mine…”

“…The Better than Sex mascara.”

Never Again

For me, a huge beauty fail was the shatush, without a doubt, but also the SiliSponge, the silicon beauty blender…it’s a no!
