The stunning and flawless skin showcased during awards season is just as captivating as the fashion, and you don’t need to be a star to achieve this look.
Just ask two of the leading beauty experts in the industry: Dior Beauty skincare specialist and ambassador Sarah Akram, whose high-profile clients include Sheryl Lee Ralph, Rachel Zegler, and Mindy Kaling, alongside celebrity makeup artist Lyndsay Zavitz, who has worked with actresses like Cameron Bure, Emily Osment, and Jana Kramer.
It’s safe to say that these glam specialists know plenty about how to achieve nearly flawless skin for any high-profile event. But what are the essential tools and techniques needed to create the ideal canvas that not only photographs beautifully but also appears natural (a.k.a. not cakey!) in real life?
Firstly, skin preparation is critical. Akram is well aware of this and generously shared with Us an at-home version of the glow-inducing facial she provides to stars, whether on the go or at her upscale spa in Alexandria, Virginia. Secondly, selecting the right makeup products—and mastering their application—is also vital. Fortunately, Zavitz revealed the must-have products in her kit and the application tips she swears by.
