BEAUTY BOTTOM LINE: Mix of matte and sheen on skin, classic red on lips

THE LOOK: “The designer mentioned that cashmere is her fetish,” said Jose about the key element in Allude’s spring collection, which was unexpectedly mixed with latex pieces. To accentuate this play on materials, Jose worked with different finishes on skin. He kept complexion clean–matte in some places, while shiny on the nose, forehead, chin and cheekbone. He layered foundation, highlighter and blush, then topped with shimmer and glycerin spray for added sheen. (At home, you can use toner in place of the glycerin spray.)

The lip was a classic and timeless red, drawn slightly smaller than the natural shape. Jose first applied concealer all around mouth to avoid harsh edges, then lined the mouth with lip liner, just under the lip line, starting at the cupid’s bow (the triangle in the center of the upper lip). “Essentially, you’re drawing your own shape,” Jose said. He applied red lipstick on top and a hint of gloss just in the center. “We’re using gloss to make the lips look bigger instead of drawing the lips big,” he explained. (Check out the video below for more about the lip!)
