My Palepu genes blessed me with thick hair, a innate understanding of chemistry, and great skin.
Sounds good, right?
That thick hair is 30% gray – and now appearing in my eyebrows. While I can explain chemistry reactions to you personally, I blank when I’m taking an exam.
And that skin? Come summer, it’s a hot mess.
Literally. A sweaty one, too.
My only ways to survive the sweat was carrying a folding fan everywhere and taking as many Lyfts as possible.
My newest method – changing up my simple makeup routine with these products.
This combination of products is sweat-resistant, mattefying, and protective. I’ve kept the look simple, so you can add to it and make it uniquely yours.
It also lasts all day – I’ve gone through 15 hour days with just a light touch up. Here’s how I get the look.
By Terry Cellularose Brightening CC Serum (immaculate light) – SW Basics Rosewater Spray – Colorescience Whipped Mineral Sunscreen – Sunday Riley The Martian – Laura Gellar ‘Baked Radiance’ Concealer (sand) – Wander Beauty Dualist Concealer – Wander Beauty Wanderlust Powder Foundation (tan) – Urban Decay NAKED Flushed palette (naked) – L’Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes Mascara (black) – Anastasia Beverly Hills ‘Brow Wiz’ Pencil (black) – Black Up Eyeliner
- Apply Sunday Riley The Martian on clean skin, and let it absorb fully. Follow it up with By Terry CC serum.
- Squeeze one pump of the Colorescience sunscreen on the back of your hand and let it warm on your skin. Apply it and blend with a damn BeautyBlender. Spritz your skin with the rosewater spray.
- Dab the Laura Geller concealer underneath the eyes and the Wander Beauty concealer on blemishes on cheeks and chin. Blend thoroughly with the sponge. Spritz skin again with the rosewater spray.
- Brush Wander Beauty’s powder foundation all over your face with a fan brush. Apply the bronzer from the NAKED palette underneath your cheekbones, under your chin, and on the corners of your forehead. Spritz again with rosewater spray.
- Fill in eyebrows with the Anastasia brow pencil. Line waterline with the pencil. Curl eyelashes and apply mascara.
