Healthy-Glowy Makeup Multan That
Looks Great on Everyone
Judging
from her glowy, seemingly powerless complexion, you’d never know that model
Georgia Fowler (above) flew in on a red-eye to make it to this (prepandemic) G.
Sport shoot. “She has great skin to begin with,” says LA-based makeup artist
Nathan Hejl, who went for an effortless, no-makeup makeup look to go with the
collection’s sleek leggings and elongating united, which hung on racks all
around them. “It’s about enhancing everything, making you look more radiant and
beautiful without specifically playing up a single feature.” We hung around the
makeup area to watch Hejl at work—and got all of his tips for our favorite sort
of makeup look: easy and natural.
THE SKIN
First
Hejl smoothed on an illuminating primer to soften any imperfections and help
keep the makeup fresh throughout the shoot. For drier skin, start with
nourishing moisturizers to plump, smooth, and hydrate. As the primer melted
beautifully into Fowler’s skin, he dabbed on sheer tinted moisturizer. “For a
bright, dewy glow, I like cream formulas, all the way,” he says.
A HEALTHY FLUSH
Heji
continued with creamy texture as he added a bit of pigment to the cheeks. “I
like bit of cream blush at the apples of her cheeks,” he says. “Creams have
more of a sheen, as opposed to a more mattifying
powder blush.”
POWDER WHERE NEEDED
To
avoid shine overload—or if he’s working on a client with especially oily
skin—Hejl blots finishing powder around the nose, along the T-zone, and
anywhere else that needs it. The idea is to look bathed in moonlight, as
opposed to
all-out slick.
DEFINE YOUR EYES
This
step is more about skin, once again, than it is about mascara and shadow
(though Hejl definitely used a bit of both). After patting on concealer, Hejl
sometimes applies eye cream on top. “If your concealer is on the drier side,
you can always pat a tiny amount of eye cream over it to refresh your
under-eyes. Or do this later in the day if the area is looking a little drab,” he
suggests. On Fowler’s eyelids, he blended cream bronzer over barely there
champagne cream eye shadow to create a sexy, summery warmth. “You don’t want it
too gold, too pink, or too coppery,” he says. He layered a touch of the same
bronzer onto the cheekbones and at the jawline for a sculpted effect and
finished with lengthening mascara.
EMPHASIZE BROWS
Even
though Fowler’s brows are naturally dark and sleekly shaped, Hejl filled them
in a bit with pencil, using short, thin, almost dots with the pencil, rather
than drawing thick lines. He shaped her arches with brow gel. “I back-combed
the outer corner of the brow (where it’s thinner) with the gel to rough up the
hair and make her brows look even thicker,” he explains. Pro tip: Whatever brow
product you’re using, choose a color that’s a notch or so lighter than your
hair color; brow pigment that’s too dark can look harsh and unnatural.
GO OLD-SCHOOL SEXY WITH GLOSS
Hejl
tinted Fowler’s lips with balm and shellacked lip gloss on top. “There’s
something so sporty and gorgeous about glossy lips,” he says “They go perfectly
with a fresh, dewy, hydrated look. If you don’t want full-on gloss, you can
just dab on some balm for a bit of radiance. Either way, it’s easier to touch
up throughout the day than matte lipstick is.”
FINISH WITH MORE GLOW
Hejl
went over the tops of the cheekbones, bridge of the nose, chin, inner corner of
the eyes, and Cupid’s bow with highlighter to bring more light to those areas.
“A look like this one is beautiful and timeless,” he says. “You can do it in a
short amount of time, yet it’s impactful. Fresh, alive skin is what we all
strive for, no?”
