World-famous makeup artist and Neen founder Jeanine Lobell says the route to a chic, summery glow is easy: “Focus on the skin first, and then dab on highlights strategically to brighten and lift your whole face.”
Here, using her friend Ruthie Friedlander (founder of At Large Agency and cofounder of The Chain, a nonprofit eating disorder advocacy group) as a model, Lobell walks us through her steps—and favorite tips and tricks—for a you-but-fresher-and-glowier summer look. (Don’t miss the video—it’s mesmerizing, as well as incredibly instructive.)
Your Skin Is Everything
Lobell spends serious time moisturizing clients’ skin before she ever opens a makeup jar.
1
“These depuff and hydrate the under-eye area—this makes it so makeup is much less likely to crease.”
2
“I use this to lift the face while the eye masks work their magic.”
3
“I use this as a hydrating primer before makeup—so foundation glides smoothly on the skin and has a dewy finish.”
4
“The same principle goes for lips: Hydrate with balm before applying any lip color.”
Easy Makeup for a Sexy Glow
Lobell uses a brush to apply just about everything. “The finish is more natural,” she says. “And it feels so nice.”
1
“This weightless medium-coverage foundation has this great, breathable finish, so your skin still looks like skin. It’s perfect for a glowy summer makeup look—it also comes in so many shades.”
2
“I love mixing concealer shades. The RMS adds the right amount of brightening to the under-eye area and neutralizes any dark spots. And the Jillian Dempsey is great for areas that need a little extra cover-up for a flawless base. Tip: I also use it in darker shades as a cream contour.”
3
“Start the glowy-eye look with Beam: It’s a light pink-gold that looks good on everyone. Smooth it all over the lid—it’s so flattering. Then, later, when your whole face is done, you can go back and apply a little more as a highlight, wherever the sun would hit. It’s so pretty.”
4
“Add this deep-copper shade along the crease and blend out to add dimension.”
5
“Line the upper lid and blend out to the wing for some added drama.”
6
“This mascara is so great: You get instant volume and lash definition.”
7
“I love this nude lip liner—it keeps the whole look natural.”
8
“This Going Rouge blush adds just the right amount of color to the cheeks for a summer flush.”
9
“This is the perfect finishing touch to give a summer glow to the lips with just the right amount of pigment.”
