Korres: Lip Butter, Black Pine Super Eye Serum and Pomegranate Balancing Cream Gel Moisturiser

Ever since trying products from Korres many years ago, I have been hooked on quite a few. I like that their Founders Greek Pharmacist George Korres and Chemical Engineer Lena Korres believe in the potency of using natural ingredients.  

In the summer months, my skin, under eyes and lips get super dry and Korres products (shown above) give me back not only the hydration I so desperately need but also make my skin (pores are minimized), eyes  (show less fatigue) and lips (feel supple) and soft to the touch. I also like that their products, although rich in ingredients, are affordable through both Sephora.com as well as KorresUSA.com.

If you aren't already in love with this brand...I urge you to give them a try as the variety of products they have are extensive (and effective).

Get The Look: Chrissy Teigen at The Grammy Awards 2017

I just swapped out my beauty blender for a silicone option so this article was of great interest to me. Learning that Patrick Ta created last night's red carpet look for Chrissy Teigen using The Makeup Drop, the original silicone makeup applicator, made for a convincing switch.

Step 1//SKIN: Patrick prepped Chrissy's face by washing it with La Mer The Refining Facial, prior to applying The Moisturizing Gel Cream to give her complexion a luminous and smooth base. Before any makeup, he added a poreless primer and hydrated her lips using La Mer Lip Balm.

Step 2//FACE: Patrick used the Le Mer The Mist to cool down the face before applying foundation with oil to ensure an endless glow. Patrick used THE MAKEUP DROP to ensure that the foundation blended seamlessly into Chrissy's skin. "I love using The Makeup Drop because it doesn't waste any product." - Patrick Ta 

To highlight under the eyes, Patrick used La Mer concealer -two shades lighter- to bring light to the face using THE MAKEUP DROP's tapered end to precisely blend under the eyes, before applying a translucent powder to hold the concealer in place and brighten. 

Next, Patrick applied a highlighter to the high points of the cheekbones and blush to the apples of the cheeks in a bronzy pink shade before finishing the face with Sephora's Translucent Powder and a setting spray.

Step 3//EYES: Patrick created a bold eye using Sephora Copper Rush 291, Lucky Penny 220 and Pearl 285, and a smudged black liner. Next, he curled Chrissy's lashes and coated twice with black mascara and Mink Kiss Lashes in Little Black Dress.

Step 4://BROWS: To create a thicker brow Patrick used eyebrow pencil in a shade that was one shade lighter than Chrissy's natural brows.

Step 5//LIPS: To complete the look, Patrick mixed Sephora Liquid Mattes in 23 and with Sephora 04 liner with a clear gloss to top it off.

Heart notes: Passion Flower, Tiger Orchid

Base notes: Raspberry, Patchouli

The pink partial lacquering of the bottle and the fuchsia cap bring modernity and luxury to the soft curves of the bottle.
