BEAUTYexpert of the week

WHO: jill powell

OCCUPATION: make-up artist

FAVORITE PRODUCT TO USE WITH BEAUTYBLENDER:

any foundation and Benefit High Beam Luminizer

FAVORITE TRICK YOU HAVE DISCOVERED 

USING BEAUTYBLENDER WHEN YOU'RE IN A RUSH: 

i can use it for everything!  i also dampen Beautyblender with hydrating sprays or setting sprays instead of water to maximize benefits.  it's also the best tool to build coverage and cover blemishes.

DESCRIBE THAT "A-HA!" MOMENT WHEN YOU USED BEAUTYBLENDER FOR THE FIRST TIME? 

i was at New York Fashion Week a few seasons ago and I was so shocked at how fast it applied make-up and the amazingly smooth and flawless texture it gives to the skin.  

BACKSTAGE WITH BEAUTYBLENDER:

WITH HOLIDAY PARTIES IN THE AIR, WHAT TIP CAN YOU GIVE TO GET THAT HOLIDAY GLOW?
i love using luminizers and illuminating primers (like Smashbox luminizing primer) to give the skin a natural glow.  mix a liquid luminizer (like Benefit High Beam) with your foundation and apply with the Beautyblender.  you will get an all-over glow that won't be too overpowering.

OUR NEW CANDY CANE TRIO COMES WITH ALL THREE BLENDERS, WHICH COLOR IS YOUR FAVORITE?
i love the original pink Beautyblender.  i am a girly girl and still love pink.  plus it makes it easy to find when I am working.
