One of the most influential celebrity makeup artists of our time, Kevyn Aucoin has worked with celebrities and royalty, and developed an amazing line of products. I’ve carried his line for years now and could not be a bigger fan. From lips to eyes, here are some of my favorite items:
The Expert Lip Color
Why I Love It
I love all of his lip colors, particulary the new Bloodroses palette. They can be worn on most skin tones and with a smokey or nude eye. They’re rich in color, moisturizing and have long lasting ability.
The Etherealist Skin Illuminating Foundation
Why I Love It
It has sheer medium coverage that has a smooth airbrushed look. There are 16 shades to match every skin tone. Apply foundation starting a t-zone then blend outwards. I like using the Kevyn Aucoin Foundation Brush for this foundation to achieve a flawless look.
The Expert Mascara
Why I Love It
The Bloodroses Shade is a super pretty color in dark plum that is lighter then black and has more oomph then brown. I love it with a nude or smokey eye, and it really pops green eyes! The brush is the same brush in The Expert Mascara in Black. It lifts, lengthens and volumizes and is arched to create a non-clumpy look.
The Essential Eyeshadow Set in Bloodroses
Why I Love It
It has a matte and satin finish so it can be wore both day and night. I love to mix the light tones into the darker to create various tones. The darkest color makes a great smudge liner with Bloodroses Mascara, and the Garnet Shimmer is my favorite in the pallet! It’s great for a lower liner, for that smudge look.
Diamond Eye Gloss
Why I Love It
It’s exotic! I like to tap the gloss over a smokey eye to create a wet sparkly effect. Using it alone is dramatic but simple. Start with soft peach or a light nude pink all over, minimal liner applied at the water line, tap Diamond Eye Gloss over for the ethereal look. I also, like to tap the middle of the lip with the gloss for a evening look!
