The famed makeup artist takes us through how she created Rachel’s glamorous beauty look:

To begin Iprepped her skin with Ren Global Protection Day Cream ($45.00), massaging itinto the skin so it would be plump and refreshed before I began the makeup.I then primed her skin with a few drops of Ren Instant Firming Beauty ShotSerum ($54.00), as well as the Brightening Beauty Shot Eye Lift ($45.00), tocreate the perfect dewy canvas.

Moving onto the next step, I buffed a creamy foundation into the skin and then blendedit with a damp Beautyblender to really give her a 'second skin.' I loveIlluminaire Concealing Foundation ($29.00) so I used it just under the eyes,also blending with a micro mini Beautyblender and setting it with a dusting ofLaura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder ($25.00).

One of myfavorite looks from the Fall 2015 runway shows was a flushed cheek, so I used apink stain by Dior under the foundation to create a ‘lit from within’ stain andthen used a creamy pink blush on top of foundation, to give even more of aflush.

The lipswere the finishing touch, inspired by Rachel’s pale complexion and gorgeousdress. I mixed two creamy lipsticks, one a cherry and the other a cool tonedpink, to achieve this pop of color.

Notforgetting her décolletage, I mixed Ren Moroccan Rose Oil ($60.00) with Burt’sBee’s Radiance Lotion ($18.00) to give her skin that shimmery healthy glow.
