I want everyone might meet make-up artist Jenn Streicher. She’s simply pretty—possibly one of many loveliest. When we met practically a 12 months in the past in LA, there was little or no ceremony. A handshake, a hiya—after which straight into the gossip. A beautiful friendship trajectory that I would need on any of you. Instant kinship.
Jenn is, clearly, part of the Streicher dynasty—she and her two sisters (Ashley and Kristie) personal STRIIIKE, the Beverly Hills salon that companies everybody from Mandy Moore to Emily Blunt for every part from facials to eyebrow microblading. Truly a one cease store. Great matcha lattes, too. (They advocate Vital Proteins.) On a latest journey, Jenn blessed my face together with her make-up utility (evidence) and whereas she labored, I pried. Her work is accessible—attractive {and professional} in fact, but in addition one thing that possibly if you happen to actually paid actually shut consideration, you could possibly do it at residence. Like, maaaaybe I might look pretty much as good as Greta Gerwig at the Oscars if I set my thoughts to it. But first you’d want the best instruments. Jenn’s are quite simple. The subsequent 5 merchandise could not cowl you for a purple carpet premiere, however they needn’t. All they should do is figure if you happen to’re a daily one who enjoys doing their very own make-up. Exactly who you’re, conveniently sufficient! Get began with…
A Primer That Works
“I always use a primer,” Jenn says. But which primer?!??!! “I really like the Glossier Priming Moisturizer—I exploit that loads.” I’m all for an unsolicited Glossier suggestion, however what in regards to the heavy weapons? “The Tatcha Silk Canvas Filter Finish Protective Primer is admittedly superb. They took the formulation from what these Kabuki girls placed on first, so it virtually builds like a barrier between your pores and skin and what you placed on prime of it. It makes it have a extremely easy floor. And I actually love the Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream. You put it on and it moisturizes and virtually plumps a bit of bit. I’d use that on any person who’s drier as a result of it is vitally moisturizing.”
Moisture
“The Caudalie Beauty Elixir—I do not even discuss it as a result of I exploit it a lot. It’s a must have for me,” she virtually forgets to say. Everyone loves it, however I’ve by no means managed to determine what units it other than another spray. “I do love that it has a tiny bit of oil in it—and I love how it smells,” she goes on. “I do use it to prep sometimes, but I use it on my Beautyblender, every single time. I feel like that tiny bit of essential oil gives you this flawless finish. You can make any foundation look good with a Beautyblender and this.”
Flawless Foundation
But it does assist in case you have a extremely luxe basis to go together with your blender and your spray. “I am in love with that Clé de Peau foundation,” she says of the brand new “THE FOUNDATION” from Clé de Peau. (For what it is value, she’s the millionth make-up artist who’s advised me she is reluctantly in love with this product.) “It has everything not going for it, because it comes in that jar so I have to decant it. It’s $250. But you put it on and it melts into your skin. It makes your skin look luminous. I think it’s really great for an older skin. My skin loves it. It’s hydrating and it gives you some coverage, but it doesn’t make you look like you’re wearing a lot of coverage. It’s kind of like a step above Luminous Silk.”
Shine
Wherever you need it. Jenn’s a lip woman, however delicate sparkle close to the eyes gives the impression that purple carpet high quality. “Lidstar goes to be a recreation changer for certain,” she says, prepping my eyes with a bit of little bit of Moon as a base. “Do you bear in mind these previous Chanel liquid eyeshadows? They discontinued them years in the past. It provides you that wash of coloration, and it is extra in regards to the end than the precise texture. It virtually appears to be like prefer it’s a bit of bit moist however it’s not. It’s not glittery. It simply provides you shine. That’s why I really like these Laura Mercier Caviar Sticks. That rose gold coloration does the identical factor.”
And A Fat Lash
She likes a one-coater. Two manufacturers of be aware: “Marc Jacobs Mascara. It makes your lashes look actually large. Same with the Lancôme Monsieur Big.” No must make it extra sophisticated than that.
