Josie Volpentesta is a professional Makeup Artist from Chicago’s upscale North Shore area and worked with Borris Powell during our FLM cover shoot for this month’s issue. For over a decade she has worked with "A" list celebrities, hit TV shows, and various magazines.
Earlier this year Josie launched her own lip gloss under her label, Makeup by Josie. Below she shares some of her favorite products that will help you achieve a youthful fresh spring/summer look.
“One of my favorite looks is the all over glow and my first recommendation to achieve this look is to use Laura Mercier's Foundation Primer -Radiance Bronze. You can mix or apply this primer with any tinted moisturizer or foundation or it can also be used alone. This product kisses the skin with a pearlescent tint without looking too shiny.
Another must have is the Laura Mercier Shimmer Bloc, which comes in three different colors. I use this product as eyeshadow, highlighter, and blush. It's a multipurpose product and instantly illuminates the eyes, face and cheeks.
To finish the look all you need is the perfect pout and Yves Saint Laurent’s Volupte tint-in-oil is my favorite! This lip gloss is lightweight and nonstick. The most amazing thing about this pout is that it's hydrating and dries down to a tint affect that allows you to enhance the beauty of your lips.”
One of Josie’s never fail makeup rules: “There is nothing better than a summer glow!” We couldn’t agree more. Get your glow on!
