Paulina Porizkova’s Simple Makeup Routine for Looking Your Best

So, um, the first thing, bare face, clearly, no makeup here. This has become, like, my total go-to, um, for a base and it's, um, actually it's called Futurist Skin Tint Serum and it's Estee Lauder and it feels really, really good on and, in fact, I have used this so much and he left. Oh no, going to have to ask for more. Um, but it goes on sort of like a serum and sort of like a foundation and it feels really good on. It doesn't feel like you're wearing, um, foundation or makeup, really. It just makes your skin feel and look nice. It doesn't cover too much, it's quite sheer. Under the neck, important. There. Skin prep ready. That didn't take too long. See? Just kind of, like, evens everything out and also eliminates my lip color for now, but that's okay. So, under eye concealer, I'm going to use this one on one eye and then another one on the other eye and we'll see which one is, which one I like better or maybe just for different reasons. This one is an Estee Lauder one and instead of applying it underneath your eye, you apply it in the crease right under the eye, like so. And then I like to take this brush, which is by Beauty Pie. This brush is awesome for this kind of stuff and I just tap underneath my eye like this so it's all blended. Look at that. Like, way better, right? The other one that I've been really liking is this Beauty Pie one. Likes this. It looks very light in the jar, but when I'm feeling really worn down, uh, I use this one and it's kind of nice and reflective. Same thing. Brush and tap. This one is also really good to put underneath your brow bone. There. See? And the skin texture on this is very sheer and sort of reflective. This one is a little bit more matte, but I think, I think they both look really good. Just depends on what you're in the mood for. All right, next up, um, a little bronzer because my face is a little lighter than the rest of my body because I make sure to keep it out of the sun. Um, so I'm not much on contouring, but when your face is a little lighter, this stuff really works well. And this one is Laura Geller and it looks like this and it's kind of watery and, uh, it goes on really easily. Now, this is going to look like it's really, really dark, but watch this. Love this brush. This is a stippling brush from Sephora and this is what I do with it. Blending is really important. Now I look a little bit more even. Can't forget the blush. My favorite part. Um, and here I'm going to use the same one, Laura Geller, and it's the same kind of a stick, but this one is in a blush color. And I put that right there. And for this, I have another stippling brush. This one is a little, uh, I have two. One for the, uh, bronzer and one for the blush. Nice and moist and my face is protected and it's got SPF and, um, just looks like skin is a thing that I discovered quite recently, which is Jones Road sent me this little thing and this little brush. And this is an angled brush. See, it almost looks like an eyebrow, eyebrow brush, um, which you can also use actually. And, um, Jones Road has this great color. It's kind of like a dark Brown and used together with this brush makes a great eyeliner, especially if you're not very good at eyeliners. Like if you're not very good at just sort of pulling the line and, you know, doing this whole thing, this is kind of like eyeliner for idiots, the idiots guide to eyeliner. So I dip it in, get some product on there, and then you just literally lay it, see, and it just gives the slightest sort of definition to the, um, to the eyelash line. Now here's the kicker, and this is fun. Take the same brush with same product. And this is what we're going to do. Instead of laying the brush like this on that eyeline, I'm going to turn it around. So the slanted end goes out and I lay the eyeliner down like this, just tap, tap, tap. And that's it. How easy is that? Now on the other eye, I'm going to do something different to see, um, it's another trick for those of us who are not super good at eyeliners, but like the way it looks. This one is here. This one is from Thrive Cosmetics and it's a black pen and it's also waterproof. This one is sort of foolproof because you don't have anywhere else to go with it. And if I want a tiny little, uh, tail to this, I can also do this. Not quite as easy as with a angled brush, but still not that hard. Into the lashes. There. Two eyeliners, slightly different effect, both practically foolproof. Now what will actually make this work really well is when I put mascara on. So here we go. On this side, because this eyeliner is Brown, I'm going to use a Brown mascara. And again, I'm reaching for my current favorite, which is Thrive mascara. Here it is. This product is amazing. It's a, it's one of those tube mascaras and it, um, coats your lashes well, and it doesn't come off at all. It's like the staying power of it is amazing. And your lashes don't feel dry or clumpy or anything. And then when you get in the shower at night, it just slides right off. It's the kind of product I love. Make it simple. Now let's do the other one. And since I put in black, uh, pencil in, in, in the eye, I'm going to use black mascara on this side, also by Thrive. And there is the other eye. See? Both literally just took a minute. And, um, as far as I'm concerned, this is all the makeup you really, um, need if want to look a little bit polished, but not super made up. And the eyes pop. Super simple.
