Hydrate with a revitalising mask
Dodos dives into her skincare routine with the Chanel red revitalising mask. This hydrating mask is applied strategically to the driest areas of the face. Leave it on for a few minutes to let your skin drink it all up before rinsing off.
Embrace the essence
Ditching a toner, Dodos replaces it with the Hydra beauty micro liquid essence from Chanel, which double hydrates as it preps the skin for the next steps. She loves how it gives her skin a bouncy feel.
Beauty tip: Don’t forget to apply on the neck too, and massage well into the skin.
Don’t skip the serum
For Dodos, serums are non-negotiable. She uses Chanel’s revitalising serum, packed with anti-ageing properties and hyaluronic acid for that plump, youthful appearance.
Mist to revitalise
The N°1 DE CHANEL L’EAU ROUGE revitalising fragrance mist goes next all over her face. Not only does it smell incredible, but it also refreshes, energises, and adds a radiant glow.
Lock in moisture
Dodos generously applies the N°1 DE CHANEL rich revitalising cream to moisturise her skin, soothe the appearance of wrinkles, and keep it feeling baby-soft.
Beauty tip: If you’re not investing in your skincare, your makeup will never look that great!
Don’t forget sunscreen!
Her SPF 50 or 30 is the final step in her skincare routine before makeup. Before you beautify, protect for long-lasting skin health because there’s no good makeup without great skin underneath.
Brows, but make it simple
When it comes to brows, Dodos keeps it simple. She uses the Le Correcteur De Chanel concealer with a flat brush to define her brushed-out brows. Less is more!
For a feathered brow, she fills it in with the Chanel Stylo Sourcils Haute Précision pencil, creating hair-like strokes for a natural, feathery look. The pencil gives her soft, understated brows without looking too bold.
Use more concealer; less foundation
Dodos opts for more concealer and less foundation for a natural, no-makeup makeup look. She applies the B122 concealer, which is hydrating and blends seamlessly into her skin.
The right underpainting technique
For a brightened under eye, she uses the same concealer in a lighter shade, B121, underneath her base—her secret for the perfect underpainting technique.
Apply just a touch of foundation
For longer-lasting makeup, she uses a little of the Chanel hydrating glow foundation. “I’m shooting all day, so a tiny bit goes a long way,” she advises. She sets her under eye with makeup sponges and powder, a crucial step for a long-lasting look, before using a fluffy brush with a pressed powder to ‘lock in the moisture’. Be sure to avoid areas that are set with a concealer.
Try some eyeshadow magic
Dodos continues with her eyeshadow, using two different palettes. One is a 4-colour palette featuring satin shades, while the other contains matte brown. She starts with the matte brown, applying it with the fluffy end of a dual-ended brush, and dusting off any excess before sweeping it into her crease. Then, she tops it off with the silver satin shade using her finger for an extra pop.
Get creative with cream blush
It’s all about cream blushes, and the Chanel Red Camellia lip and cheek cream is a favourite. Dodos loves a multifunctional product that can do it all, so she uses it as both a blush and lip tint.
Beauty tip: Keep it fun and easy. Look for simple and versatile products.
To add definition, she reaches for the Chanel Blush and Bronzer Palette, applying it under her cheekbones, on her cheeks, and along her hairline to sculpt and enhance her face.
Glow on, girl
For an extra glow, she applies the Chanel Solar Glow Stick to her cheekbones and brow bone. It’s her makeup must-have because, in her words, “You can never have too much glow.”
A daring finish
Dodos challenges herself to be more adventurous with the Chanel Rouge Coco Balm in the “Naturally Charmed” shade for a natural lip tint. To finish, she adds a swipe of Rouge Coco Gloss, and voila—her makeup is complete!
