Mary reached for the Chanel Hydra Beauty Micro Serum, £66 (http://bit.ly/1EhiJtF) and massaged it gently into the skin. Mary then grabbed the Chanel Hydra Beauty Gel Yeux Hydration Protection Radiance Eye Gel, £40.62 (http://bit.ly/17maUIo), to hydrate the undereye area. She took the gel around the eye and swept it across the lid. The next product Mary used is the Chanel Hydra Beauty Crème Hydration Protection Radiance, £50.77 (http://bit.ly/1wwQi5Q). Massage the cream into the face and you’ll quickly notice that your skin will feel completely different. For the lips, Mary swears by the Chanel Hydra Beauty Nutrition Nourishing Lip Care, £30.46 (http://bit.ly/1xVfUw9 ), an incredibly nourishing lip product. Now that your skincare is complete, it’s time to apply your base. Mary used the Chanel Le Blanc de Chanel Multi-Use Illuminating Base, £33.51 (http://bit.ly/1AwlYPl). When dispensed, the base is white, but once it’s massaged into the skin, it becomes completely neutral and delivers a veil of luminosity to the skin. The skin is now prepped, meaning you can move on to the foundation. Mary picked up the Chanel Perfection Lumiere Long-Wear Flawless Fluid Foundation, £36 (http://bit.ly/1IvikEt). Take your time applying the foundation, as good blending is what will make your skin appear completely seamless and flawless. Mary stressed that she wanted the skin to look perfected, yet real. So, at the same time as perfecting it, it’s important to make sure the face doesn’t look like it’s covered in a mask – this is where your skincare products will come into play to re-install that energy and life to the face. Next, brush through the brows to remove any foundation. Mary suggests keeping the brows clean at all times so that you can see what’s going on with the face overall. For her next step, Mary applied the Chanel Correcteur Perfection Concealer, £27 (http://tidd.ly/65a52d14), under the eyes and took it quite far down in the shape of an upside-down triangle. Mary believes that your concealer should be paler than the foundation, as this helps to lift the entire eye area. To blend in your concealer, tap on the skin lightly to knock it in. Once it’s blended in completely, the eye area will open up and expand the face. Mary then took a slightly darker concealer, which is the same tone as the skin and lightly tapped concealer over individual blemishes and problem areas. To blend, gently tap these in with your finger. Once finished, you now have flawless skin that is perfect for any look that you’re going to create. However, Mary wanted to show how you should matte powder certain areas of the face to knock back any shine. While unessential this step is particularly helpful if you’re about to be photographed. Taking the Chanel Poudre Universelle Compact, £33.51 (http://bit.ly/1Awnz7L), Mary applied the powder to the centre of the forehead, a little bit in the hairline, around the edges of the nose and nostril and down the centre of the chin. This helps to eliminate signs of shine in the infamous T-zone region of the face.
