Carrie Ann’s Beauty Breakdown

With Make-up Artist Marylin Lee Spiegel

October 13 2021

For Carrie Ann’s skin prep, she loves to use a chilled jade roller and gua sha to tighten and stimulate.

For this shoot, I wanted a clean sophisticated makeup with bold lip colors. I used pigmented foundations to give her skin a perfect finish. I love Danessa Myricks Vision Creme Cover, which is cruelty free and vegan.

I gave her cheeks a glow and lovely sculpted look with Hourglass ambient lighting powders and blush. I contoured her with the Pixi Shapeshifter Contour palette, which is great for cheeks, eyes, nose - and very easy to blend. NYX Epic Ink Liner allowed me to effortlessly create a thin eyeliner to enhance her almond eyes.

I used several lip colors from Inglot, Ilia, and Smith & Cult, for different looks, mixing colors to create what I was looking for.

What is gua sha? its an ancient healing technique that promotes lymphatic drainage and stimulates circulation by gently gliding the tool across the surface of your skin.
