Hello, I am Patrick Lorentz

Makeup artist for Estée Lauder

5 beauty secrets with Patrick Lorentz

I have worked at Estée Lauder for 27 years

And today, I will answer several questions

for an easy and flawless makeup

How to achieve a flawless complexion?

That will last all day and all night?

There is a whole protocol, starting with skincare.

Skincare will be the base for your makeup

So never apply makeup on bare skin!

I know some women still tend to do it

You must also choose the right textures

With a texture that isn't rich enough

your skin will drink up the foundation

On the contrary, if the texture is too rich

Your skin will be shiny and your foundation won't last.

How to achieve a day to night makeup?

I have a very simple trick for that!

Take a bit of serum - I will actually show you right now

It will be easier to understand

I use the legendary Advanced Night Repair Serum

You normally apply it in the morning and the evening

but today, we are going to use it differently

It's actually what I did just now

I take some serum in the palm of my hand

I rub it in my palms and press it on top of the makeup

Even on foundation, it doesn't damage it

But it is going to refresh your makeup

and especially give you a refill of hyaluron acidon on the surface of your skin

And that will allow you to move on to a makeup touch up

For a makeup touch-up, you can use foundation

or a product that is amazing

called the Cushion Stick

It is a nomad product

that you can easily put in your bag

What can also look nice for the evening

is giving more light to your cheekbones

using highlighters

I would advise you to choose

a liquid or fluid highlighter

I find a lot more natural

It looks as if the skin were lightly dewy

and avoid the supernatural effect

that you can get with a powder-highlighter

A little touch of lipstick

and you're ready for the evening!

To create dimension

you have to work on the lights and shadows

of your face

Light gives volume

shadows carve the face

It's the principle of contouring

We have seen contouring a lot on Youtube!

But I think it must be adapted

to be more natural

We will start working on shadows

with a bronzer

I recommend using a blush brush

and a bronzer

and working it in here under the cheekbones

a little bit here if you have a bigger forehead

if you don't like your nose,

and find it too long

apply bronzer on the tip of your nose

or if your chin is a little pointy

apply some on the bottom of your chin

but always in a very natural manner

Afterwards, to give light and volume

we will work with a highlighter

here on the cheekbones,

here on the brow bone,

on the nose,

between the eyebrows

on the Cupid's bow

And a little tip for the summertime

if you have a decolleté, apply some on your collarbone

It is very difficult to choose the correct foundation

because there are many parameters

that must be taken into account

First, intensity, which means

shades that go from light to dark

At Estée Lauder we go from shade 1

to shade 8, the darkest, for black skintones.

And afterwards, we have undertones,

What is are undertones ?

For instance, I don't know if you can tell

My skin has pink undertones

It becomes coppery when I get tanned

Other skins are more golden, more yellow

And there are other skintones

for which it's harder to find an undertone

And we call those neutral skintones:

they have as much red and yellow pigments.

First, you must choose your intensity, and then, your undertone

That is why, for Estée Lauder's 42 shades,

for each intensity, there is a pink undertone option,

and a yellow undertone option

and a neutral undertone option.

But we have gone even further

We realized it wasn't enough

I have a good example: think about shoe sizes.

Imagine your shoe size is a 6.

But sometimes, you need a 6,5.

It's exactly what we did!

For instance, we created the shade 1W,05

Which allows us to have an even more precise shade

And participates in Double Wear's success!

Every woman can find her exact shade of foundation!

We must also take into consideration

the texture of the foundation

according to the skin type.

For combination to oily skin

if you're afraid of looking shiny,

pick an oil-free foundation,

and that's actually what Double Wear does,

For people with dry skin,

that tends to be a little dull

or not catch the light

I would recommend

a satin-finish foundation

that is a little dewy when you apply it.

Simply do your makeup and when it's done,

check whether it is too shiny or not,

and apply powder where you need to.
