We hydrate and we zap the foundation

“The basis above all is to have well hydrated and plump skin ,” confirms both Sandrine Cano Bock, make-up artist at Chanel , and Charlotte Ravet at By Terry . Nothing is possible on dry and suddenly dull skin . So, first, hydrate well and repeat the operation if necessary during the day. “ We skip the foundation, ” Sandrine Cano Bock tells us. What if we have small imperfections to hide? A long-lasting corrector, especially the same color as his skin tone and applied in small touches, will solve the problem neither seen nor known. For Charlotte Ravet, the completely invisible mattifying compact powder, filled with hyaluronic acid, is the essential tool for intensely hydrating and blurring imperfections instantly.

We pimp up our tan without missteps

A sun powder around the face and on the rounded parts will immediately add heat to the tan. “But above all, have a light hand! Otherwise the result may be disastrous, ”warns Sandrine Cano Bock. And for Olivier Echaudemaison, artistic director at Guerlain , we choose it with a touch of orange to give warmth to the complexion. For Charlotte Ravet, a good foundation that combines makeup and skincare is the product that will immediately brighten even the dullest tans.

We accentuate his gaze

For Christophe Danchaud, creator of a natural line of make-up with the Absolution brand and make-up artist, among others, for Marion Cotillard , Monica Bellucci , Vanessa Paradis and Camille Cottin , above all to let his skin breathe . A golden skin absorbs small imperfections and a little powder is enough to unify and mattify . On the other hand, the emphasis is on the look . Lightly pencil the eyelids in the color you want, then using your finger you smudge the texture for a guaranteed smoky eye effect .

We stash our sunburns

"It is difficult to hide, but with our famous water tinted with tea extracts, we can greatly reduce redness due to sunburn", suggests Charlotte Ravet. As for Olivier Echaudemaison, he recommends Joli Teint, “a false foundation” with no material effect that will save the day.

We dare the red mouth

"If during the day we use and abuse a lip glow that hydrates and gives a little sexy side, in the evening we can really dare the color, red, poppy, pink", according to Christophe Danchaud . But there, we do not put anything on the eyes. For Olivier Echaudemaison, we dare the true covering and matt red which will sublimate the tan.
