Marc Jacobs Beauty

Something I’ve been appreciating from the brand lately is they actually have quiet, smaller seasonal releases, though perhaps the fact that very few are talking about them suggests that’s not the most successful way to go about releasing products! I think the brand has improved their offerings from when it first debuted, so it’s nice to see that.

What foundation finish do you gravitate toward the most?

I like something lightly dewy, almost hydrating, with some natural glow. I want it to look skin-like with a bit of added sheen, so I can still apply translucent powder on top without totally mattifying it.

What highlighter finish do you gravitate toward the most?

I definitely find I reach for more moderate to intense highlighters, and if duochrome was a true finish (it’s almost like a modification on a finish, e.g duochrome satin finish, to me), I really dig duochrome highlighters.

What blush finish do you gravitate toward the most?

I love a satin-to-luminous finish, so something that gives a glowing finish but doesn’t look overtly shimmery or sparkly. I find the addition of some finer shimmer ensures that it’s very easy to blend out while allowing for any manner of intense highlighters to be layered on top!
