How to sparkle
We often get questions about what Shai uses on her face on a daily basis. Some questions specifically ask for makeup brands, while others, skin care products. We’d like to answer more on the latter, since as much as possible, we like to keep artificials (makeup, cosmetic accessories, hair products, etc.) to a minimum.
In Shai’s case, the only beauty booty she regularly uses are Freshlook Colorblends (she’s nearsighted with a grade of 700), eyebrow filler, eyelash curler, volumizing mascara, and concealer (under the eyes, around the brows, and on the bridge and sides of the nose). She has no problems going out in public wearing absolutely nothing but moisturizer on her face, unless the day’s schedule calls for full makeup, like in this outtake from a photoshoot.
Not to say that there are days when she doesn’t feel insecure of her skin, days when blemishes appear. No amount of primer, foundation or BB cream can conceal blemishes and rough spots—the sad reality is, thick makeup actually emphasizes these. The real secret to looking nice in photos lies not so much in beautiful makeup, but in clear, smooth, blemish-free skin.
A recent discovery: Nivea Sparkling White day care cream and whitening cleansing foam. From a few weeks of use, it’s actually been doing what it says on the bottle, cleaning “deeper into pores to prevent acne and reveal fairer skin.” Plus, the foam smells and feels good to lather on the skin. Blemish-battling in a bottle, designed to keep skin looking photo-pretty, anytime!
