Newsflash: You don’t need to get rid of your beautiful tan to enjoy being a beauty junkie. There are actually tons of products that complement morena skin like no other, and if you don’t believe us, we asked Ylona Garcia’s makeup artist Anthea Bueno to tell us how she achieves the teen star’s youthful sun-kissed glow:
FOUNDATION
For amazing, lit-from-within skin, Anthea uses the Laura Mercier Candle Glow Foundation. It provides just enough coverage to hide minor problem areas without masking the skin with makeup.

SETTING POWDER
Lightly setting your makeup with loose powder is essential to retaining the skin-like glow from your foundation. Laura Mercier's Translucent Powder is colorless and it makes your foundation last the entire day. Anthea swears by it.

HIGHLIGHTER
Many highlighters look borderline terrfying to apply on tan complexions because they have the tendency to look chalky and stark white. Luckily, the Laura Mercier Face Illuminator in Addiction is especially made for medium to deep skintones and it gives the most effortless sheen to beautiful morena skin like Ylona's.

BRONZER
Sticking to Anthea's Laura Mercier theme, the Bronzed Butter Face and Body Veil is what she uses to warm up Ylona's skin and define the contours of her face and decolletage.

LIPSTICK
A warm-toned terracotta liquid lipstick in the form of the Jeffree Star Velour lipstick in Gemini is Anthea's favorite shade to use on Ylona, but The Balm's Meet Matt(e) Hughes liquid lipstick in Sincere is a fantastic and locally available alternative.

EYEBROWS
A natural-looking full brow is the way to go no matter what your skin tone is. K-Palette's 1DAY Tattoo Real Lasting Eyebrow Liner is a product that allows you to draw thin lines that mimic real eyebrow hairs, and it's the secret to the teen star's full yet not too drastic arches.
