Want to know more about this revolutionary product? Well, read on the Q+A with Clinique’s Global Colour Artist, Jenna Menard to find out:
During this past fashion show season, we saw the “no makeup, makeup look.” A clean flawless canvas that looked effortless. Have we seen this look before?
This trend has been popular for quite a while. It is one of those timeless trends that reappears season after season. It never goes “out of style” and I love that about it. It’s a wearable look that suits everyone. You look like yourself, but better. I have been creating this look from the beginning of my career, and even on myself before I knew I wanted to become a colour artist.
Recently, the beauty industry has been trying to influence individuality when it comes to makeup. The “no makeup, makeup” trend is right on point with this idea. My makeup style has always been about enhancing – working with what you have and making small adjustments that provide a little boost. I love the subtleties you can create with makeup and this trend is all about subtleties. You want it to be believable that you don’t have any makeup on, but you look that good.
Does Clinique’s new Beyond Perfecting Foundation + Concealer help you achieve this “no makeup, makeup” look?
Absolutely. This product provides a natural, clean canvas that conceals flaws. And it’s done effortlessly. So many clients tell me they want a foundation that covers their imperfection but looks and feels like they aren’t wearing anything at all. With Clinique’s new 2-in-1 foundation and concealer, it’s easy to achieve a flawless complexion that looks completely natural and will last all day. The formula smoothes on easily and provides a full coverage, but the lightweight texture makes it look like you aren’t wearing anything.
What do you like most about this new 2-in-1 foundation and concealer?
Clinique’s new Beyond Perfecting Foundation + Concealer is completely buildable depending on the look you want to achieve. One day you may need full coverage – and this is the foundation for you. However, if all you need is to cover a small imperfection, this formula and applicator gives you the control to apply the smallest amount and blend just where you need it, giving a flawless light finish. You can’t go wrong with this 2-in-1 foundation and concealer formula and “magic wand” applicator.
What is your application technique for Beyond Perfecting Foundation + Concealer?
Apply where needed. The best part about this foundation is how I am able to bring to life a trick I have been using and teaching forever – apply concealer where needed instead of applying foundation all over the face. Beyond Perfecting is a foundation where you can apply only where needed and it gives you the perfect coverage, or you can apply all over your face to achieve a flawless complexion.
My technique is about only focusing on the areas that need coverage. This doe foot wand applicator allows you to apply a targeted amount of formula specifically where needed. This will help control the amount of product on the face helping to create the “no makeup, makeup” look that’s the most believable.
Our skin changes day to day. There will be some days where you want a full coverage look, and then there will be other days where you just need to cover up a few imperfections. Beyond Perfecting Foundation + Concealer can easily help you achieve the desired coverage you need.
How would you use the wand if you only want to apply to targeted areas?
Use Beyond Perfecting as a concealer when you need to spot treat certain areas on the face, such as a blemish, redness or discoloration. The applicator is perfect for this. Use the very tip of the wand to apply the concealer where needed and then pat lightly with your finger to blend the product into the skin just over that area. Using your ring finger will help you have a lighter touch when blending.
How would you use the wand if you want a full coverage look?
To dispense more product on the skin for a full coverage look, use the side of the applicator or also the angled tip of the applicator that has the slight dip to hold more product. To make sure you cover all areas of the face swipe the wand across the forehead, on the cheeks, down the nose and across the chin.
