10 MINUTES WITH … GILBERT SOLIZ
The global make-up artist of Marc Jacobs Beauty talks Autumn/Winter ‘18 releases and long-lasting beauty looks. By Nen Lin Soo.
Bright and electric for Autumn/ Winter ’18 … Work glitters, colours, and metallic hues, especially on the eyes. The new Highliner Glam Glitter Gel Eye Crayon comes in seven glitter-packed hues like (Gem)stoned, a bright teal with silver glitter, and Glam Jam, oxblood with silver glitter. Marc loves to incorporate sparkle and shine in his fashion and beauty, too. Striking the perfect balance with a beauty look … Focusing on one feature helps. Personally, I like to focus on the eyes. I start by taking inspiration from the model or the client in front of me, but I also have to take into consideration the personality, style, hair colour, and skin tone. Those things help curate the look and guide how far you can go creatively. Perfect finishing touches in hot, humid climates … Using the velour puff with Finish Line Perfecting Coconut Setting Powder works better to keep the makeup on instead of using a brush. I’d also recommend using a self-setting foundation like the Shameless Youthful-Look 24-H Longwear Foundation to avoid caking on extra layers. Five everyday must-haves … The Highliner Gel Eye Crayon in Blacquer, Velvet Noir Major Volume Mascara, Under(cover) Perfecting Coconut Face Primer, Le Marc Lip Crème Lipstick, and Shameless Youthful-Look 24-H Longwear Foundation. Available at Sephora stores nationwide. www.sephora.my
