Dolphin skin, the crystal effect make-up that drives celebs crazy

There are always many celebs who choose pearly and mirror make-up. Hailey Bieber to Bella Hadid, Jennifer Lopez, Alicia Keys owe their bright and dewy look to a make-up technique that is conquering the red carpet: the dolphin skin. The method of making it is not complicated. The first thing to do is to file all the opaque textures and powders, and only use make-up tools enriched with sparkling and iridescent elements. From the foundation with pearly particles to the glitter eyeliners and eyeshadows, to the satin lip gloss, everything must give a stroboscopic finish.

The illuminant is the star product

It gives three-dimensionality and the cream version is preferred, to be beaten with the fingertips. “The nuance of this product should be chosen considering the undertone of the skin: when it is naturally pink it must contain bright pink micro-fragments, if it is warm and olive, the golden versions are fine, while in the case of very dark skin yes to the bronze particles”, explains Giada Venturotti make-up artist Academy Trainer QStudio Makeup-RP Academy. «The application focuses on the upper part of the cheekbone up to the bone (avoiding the eye area) continuing up to the temples. A small dose should be distributed on the inner corner of the eye, on the tip of the nose and on the cupid’s bow (the small “V” in the center of the upper lip) ».

The important thing is the base

To obtain an impeccable result, the skin of the face must be absolutely clean and smooth. In the cold season, prefer exfoliants that act by contact with fruit acids: they gently release the superficial skin thickenings, revealing the skin’s natural radiance. «Hydration must be constant and accurate. To guarantee a smooth and soft epidermis, you need to make a small investment, and indulge in a nourishing face mask with low and high molecular weight hyaluronic acid even every day: it guarantees deep nourishment while on the surface it instantly plumps up, smoothes the less signs evident and accentuates the epidermis’ ability to reflect light », underlines the expert. With this base, the dolphin skin make-up gives moon reverberations!
