BEST MAKEUP FOR ASIAN SKIN

THE BEST MAKEUP FOR ASIAN SKIN TO GET THAT DEWY LOOK :: Clé De Peau Beauté

Asian skin can get blotchy as we tend to get hyperpigmented quickly! So I seek out all the best in K-beauty skincare from BB creams and CC creams and everything in between. But sometimes I need an added boost in the form of actual makeup to give me a finished look. I’ve done all the research on the best makeup for Asian skin to get that dewy with the crazy coverage look — and I’ve come to admit that Jbeauty has it down when it comes to concealer and foundation. They are the ones who invented the porcelain skin of geishas, after all. Cle De Peau Beaute (which is the high-end line of Shiseido) and the Tesla of skincare is the consistent winner! Every morning, I slather on some serum or hyaluronic acid, lock it in with Seoulfull Skin Oil — and then I finalize my skincare with lots of sunscreen. Lastly, I polish off the mug with my Cle De Peau Beaute. Below are the ride-or-die products that I use daily.

The Best Makeup For Asian Skin

CLE DE PEAU FOUNDATION

The Cle De Peau foundation called THE FOUNDATION is the end all be all of the foundations. It’s hefty in fee for sure —  but it’s worth every penny. A little goes a long way. Not only is The Foundation the one with the best coverage and with the smoothest and radiant of finishes, but it’s multipurpose too! While it’s covering up flaws and blemishes, it doubles as skincare and does its anti-aging magic. It lightens dark spots and reduces fine lines and wrinkles. $250 at Nordstrom or Amazon.

CLE DE PEAU CONCEALER

This concealer is the end all be all. My friend Mary Klimek (celebrity makeup artist) knows all the tricks of the trade — and she is the one who turned me onto this. The Cle De Peau Concealer is the gateway drug. It covers everything! Everything!!! After trying this, you will try everything the brand has to offer. $70 at Nordstrom or Amazon.

WHAT A BLACK BELT MEANS — WHY WE SHOULD ALL BE GETTING COMFORTABLE WITH THE UNCOMFORTABLE AND REACHING FOR THAT NEXT LEVEL

What a black belt means to one person differs from what it means to another. To me, becoming a first-degree black belt was a self-admittance of being normal — and then shooting for the stars. It meant actioning past obstacles, avoiding complacency and never falling prey to aimless sleepwalking. The requirement of continuous and intentional…
