The radiant and picture-perfect complexions during awards season are just as mesmerizing as the fashion, but you needn’t be a celebrity to get the look.
Just ask two of the top beauty pros in the business: Dior Beauty skincare expert and ambassador Sarah Akram, whose A-list clientele includes Sheryl Lee Ralph, Rachel Zegler and Mindy Kaling, as well as celebrity makeup artist Lyndsay Zavitz, who has worked with actresses Cameron Bure, Emily Osment and Jana Kramer, to name a few.
It’s safe to say the two glam gurus know more than a thing or two about achieving practically-perfect skin for any major star-studded event. But what are the key weapons and techniques in creating the perfect canvas that not only photographs flawlessly, but looks natural (a.k.a. not cakey!) in real life?
For one, skin prep is essential. Akram knows this, and therefore blessed Us with the at-home version of her glow-worthy facial she treats stars to, whether on-the-go or from her luxurious spa in Alexandria, Virginia. Two, choosing the right makeup formulas — and knowing how to properly apply them — is also crucial. Thankfully, Zavitz dished the products you’ll always find in her kit plus, the application hacks she swears by.
