Hey, I’m Carly Cardellino from Cosmopolitan.com, I’m the beauty director there and this is
my go-to going out look.
Okay, so first up I apply Oxygenetix Foundation. It’s cool because it’s a breathable formula
so you don't feel like you’re caged in your foundation.
And it moves with you and it doesn’t crack or crease all throughout the day.
I pat it on like so, and than I usually let it set for 30 seconds.
Next up is concealer—I am a perfectionist when it comes to concealing a zit.
If you have a zit, the reason why it looks much larger than it could be is because of
the shadow that it casts, so if you delete the shadow with concealer just by applying
the concealer directly under the zit and then patting it a few times over it will literally
basically fade into the rest of your skin and look like you’ve never had a pimple there
before.
Okay, onto more concealer.
This is the Color Science Total Eye, it’s a peachy color and I usually just put it under
my eyes in a triangular formation.
I really feel like it just pushes the light up to your eyes and just eradicates any dark
circles.
Like the peachy tones cancel out the blue and I pat it in with my fingertips.
I also put some of this around my nose.
Okay, this is my all time favorite cream blush, it’s from Cle De Peau, it’s number
3.
The cream just honestly blends right into your skin and just gives you the fakest but freshest
flush you’ve ever seen.
Oh!
And I use Pat McGrath's stippling brush which I think is the best and honestly the key to not overdoing
it when you’re doing your blush because the color just goes on the bristles at the
end and than you can just buff it in with the rest of the brush.
The finish is flawless.
Okay, highlighter. I love this Haloscope in Quartz.
I feel like it doesn’t even look like you’re wearing highlighter but your skin just look
so dewy in the end.
So I put it down the bridge of my nose, I put it basically cupping the outer
corner of my eye and you can see how it shines there.
Okay now for Lidstar. This product is the star of this look.
And I love the finish. They’re super subtle and but yet you know that you have something on your
eye but it doesn’t look like such an intense shimmer.
The best way to do it, is just to apply straight from the doe foot onto your eyelid.
So, I’m putting Lily on the inner corner and you have to work with it fast because
it does set quickly.
So now I’m going to go in with Fawn. This is a smoky, taupe moment.
I’m going to put it at the outer corner.
I love this formula because you can put it on in a fairly messy way and it still comes
out looking flawless.
And I’m going to just buff it in with this brush here and what’s cool is that you layer
it on if you want it to be more intense. You could buff it out, if you want
it to be sheerer.
I’m going to go back in here and add a little more. Just so the outer corners are as pigmented as
the inner corners.
So now, I’m going to add a little more underneath my lashes, along my lash line and I’m using
Fawn here again.
Just to pull the whole look together.
Next up, I’m going to use Marc Jacobs eyeliner in Ro(cocoa).
This is a bronze pencil and it’s just going to intensify my lash line. I'm going to use it on
the top and bottom.
I am a superfan of curling my eyelashes but the one thing I realized I was doing wrong
is—Mary Phillips who is a makeup artist told me that you’re supposed to curl it
once at the base, once in the middle and once at the outer edge, so that's why I’m doing
it here three times.
And honestly, she was right.
It gives the perfect curl and doesn’t crease your lashes or cause a weird bend.
Okay, you guys haven’t seen this yet...maybe.
This is Glossier’s new mascara called Lash Slick, this is the first time I’m trying it,
so you’re getting a real reveal here.
So, going on it felt super easy to apply and it wasn’t clumpy and little flakes weren’t
falling out onto the top of my cheekbones and you were able to really separate your
lashes, which was good.
The formula is kind of lacquer-y but isn’t thick and sticky so again you’re not left with
weird clumps or anything.
And I always do my bottom lashes. I love a heavy bottom lash.
I just feel like it really makes your eyes pop and makes you look awake and alive and
It's just a really easy step that I never skip.
Okay, Boy Brow. I’m obsessed with my brows and I like to create a feathery moment at
all times.
I usually go for a more conservative amount, first out the gate. You can always dip your mascara wand back in.
And then to get that signature Glossier Boy Brow moment, the thing that I love to do is brush
my brow hairs at the beginning of my brow against how they grow and it just causes them to stand
straight up instead of going with the growth of the hair.
To finish off my look I’m going to swipe Like across my lips, it’s kind of a like
a tinted balm, again you can build it for a bit more coverage but it’s just a natural
shade which I exactly what I was looking for, especially because
I wanted to go lighter with my lips because I wanted my eyes to be the focus.
All done!
