Win the gene pool lottery by updating your beauty basics according to Sisley International makeup artist Pascal Capitaine. Below, he spills his best tips for wearing pretty girl-blush, fresh-faced foundation, and more for your daily makeup routine.
Foundation
A great makeup look heavily depends on the state of your skin. For it to last long and to actually look good, Pascal strongly suggets piling on the moisture first before piling on the foundation. He recommends Sisley's Phyto-Blanc Brightening Daily Defense Fluid (P12,450, Rustan's) for a dose of moisture, as well as protection from pollution and UV rays.

Peach Blush
For a fresher take on contouring, Pascal suggests defining your cheekbones using a peach blush, such as Sisley's Phyto-Blush in Papaya (P3550, Rustan's). He creates a soft yet dimensional face with an all-over pink flush, using the Phyto-Blush in Petal on the eyes, lips, and cheeks.

Blue Eye Makeup
Feel free to experiment with painterly eyeshadow. Pascal creates a fun yet edgy eye makeup look with strokes of Sisley's Phyto-Eye Twist in #10, (P2000, Rustan's) all over the lids, and with the Phyto-Eye Twist in #12 as an eyeliner.

Dark Lips
Still afraid to go over to the dark side? Sisley's Phyto-Lip Twist in #5 (P2000, Rustan's) is a pleasantly deep berry shade that wouldn't be too intimidating for dark lipstick novices. Pascal says that this hue can easily transition from day to night.
