He said yes, it looked natural and he couldn’t tell that there were any weird colors. My brother tagged along to help me take photos and afterwards I asked him if he thought my face looked ok. Dre taught me so many things – I really appreciated her taking the time to go through application tips and recommending products specific to my needs. I have never been so impressed with a makeup session as I have been with my visit to Sephora. She said the Laura Mercier is her favorite (it’s one of mine too) but if I wanted to try something new she recommended the Violet to brighten the skin, for fairer skins she recommended the Pink (which I already own). She showed me the difference between the Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Powder and also the Besame Brightening Face Powder in Violet (both applied with a puff). The final step she used was to set with a loose powder. You don’t want to take a sponge or brush and press too hard on the face or else it will drag and mix colors to make it look muddy. She used the Sephora Collection Pro Foundation Brush #47 which is a more affordable similar version of the Marc Jacobs Beauty Sculpting Foundation Brush to roll and dab on the foundation over the corrected spots gently and then blend everything out gently with a beautyblender. Once the color correctors have properly set (takes maybe 3 minutes at most, as long as you don’t pile on the creams) finish by taking concealer or foundation and pat it on top. Scheduling one in advance is probably best to make sure they have someone on site to sit down with you although they can accommodate walk ins sometimes and they are free of charge! They can be as quick as 15 minutes and I think you will be impressed with how much you learn – I learned a lot. If you have a Sephora near you I highly recommend you call them to schedule a mini-makeover. I hope this will help give you some tips and ideas of what to try on yourself. I’ll share my makeover experience, what was used, what I bought and some thoughts on the product testing process. If you’re like me you and consider yourself a novice or beginner when it comes to color correction you might be intimidated by the whole concept. She was very thorough in explaining color correcting, going through all the options and application techniques, gave me awesome skin prep recommendations and I could not have had a more fun experience. I had a session with artist Dre who was one of the most knowledgeable artists I’ve ever worked with. I was curious to see if there was anything that could cover dark spots and redness better than a full coverage concealer or foundation. Last week I stopped by Sephora at South Coast Plaza for a Correct and Conceal Mini Makeover to learn more about the color correcting trend happening right now.
