Sometimes it is easy to forget that most women (or at least my friends) don’t have tons of products and they use a very minimum. I was challenged to use only foundation, lipstick, blush, mascara and one more product of my choice.
I’ve decided to make an accent on the lips, add some berry or red blush and keep the eyes very natural. I even thought of skipping the mascara at all but then decided to use a thin coat on the upper lashes.

Even the inspirations testified to the classic motif: Elizabeth Taylor in A Place in the Sun (1951), Grace Kelly in To Catch A Thief (1955), and Catherine Deneuve in The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, a 1964 French musical.”
Here are the products that were used:
- Each model was prepped with a new Primer Serum, launching in Summer 2012, which treats your skin as it prepares it for makeup. It is a silky, luxurious oil blend that glides on to create a retexturized surface for foundation, hydrates the complexion and triggers a sensory experience with a host of fragrant essential oils.
