As a seasoned beauty editor, I'm kicking off June by sharing my absolute favorite makeup essentials from Benefit Cosmetics and Smashbox.
This season, it's all about a fresh nude complexion, subtle warm shades on the lids, and flawlessly defined brows...
Benefit’s ka-BROW! is a game-changer. This tinted cream brow pomade delivers a powdery finish that precisely colors, intensifies, and shapes brows. The long-lasting hold is unbeatable—it stays put all day until removal. It's my daily go-to favorite.
After shaping with ka-BROW!, I layer on Gimme Brow+ volumizing mascara. Its innovative microfibers tint and fill sparse areas for natural fullness. For a "no-makeup makeup" vibe, I apply Gimme Brow+ alone.
For that lit-from-within complexion, Smashbox steps in perfectly. The Photo Matte Palette boasts irresistible nude shades for customized summer looks. I love a soft beige on the lid with a deeper tone in the crease. Transition to evening by blending in rich brown for dramatic definition.
On the base, the Studio Skin line shines: concealer and foundation duo flawlessly conceals imperfections, boosts radiance, and delivers my preferred matte, shine-free hold.
