"I designed this look to appear fresh, elegant and modern. My technique for creating a modern look is to make the skin as sheer as possible," Lee says.
Before applying foundation from the jaw line to neck, I made sure to match the right foundation color for Anna’s fair skin tone. Once I found the right shade, I applied foundation with brush #13 from Smashbox, beginning with the center of the face. Then I used a sponge for a flawless finish. Foundation pick: Koh Gen Do Aqua Foundation.
Next, I used Clinique Airbrush concealer around the eyes to create light. My tip: Pat the eye area with your finger so the products don’t sit on the face.
I used NARS Orgasm Cream Blush to create a soft, feminine glow on the face and to enhance her gorgeous jawline. Then, I applied Koh Gen Do Powder on the t-zone and under the eyes, and lightly powdered the rest of the face.
For a rosy glow, I applied blush to the middle of the cheekbones with Chanel Joues Contraste #76 Frivole. Start by putting blush on the apples of the cheeks, then work upward, downward, then backward.
For full coverage, apply Koh Gen Do Powder on the t-zone and under the eyes, and lightly powder the rest of the face.
Moving onto the eyes, prep the lids with NARS Eye Primer. Next, take the green color from Kevyn Aucoin's The Essential Eye Shadow Palette #6 over the entire lid and blend upwards. Apply the same color lightly to the bottom lashes to balance and open up the eye.
On the center of the eyelid, apply Chanel Illusion D'Ombre #84 Epatant and add pearly white shadow from the Aucoin palette into the corner of eyes.
