In April, my team and I embarked on an exciting journey to Paris to collaborate with the talented Andreea Ali and create some fantastic video content together! This trip was not just an adventure; it was a remarkable opportunity to learn from a makeup expert and discover new techniques that I’m eager to incorporate into my daily makeup routine. The glam and evening look that Andreea crafted for me is simply stunning, and I can’t wait for you to see it below!

Before diving into makeup, it’s essential to prepare your skin properly. Here’s a quick rundown of the skincare essentials I used (which aren’t featured in the video):
The first step in my routine is using Micellar Water, a gentle yet effective cleanser that removes impurities without stripping the skin. Following that, I apply the Universkin M Peptides Serum Mist, which is packed with nutrients to hydrate and refresh my skin. For a bright and firm appearance, I use the Allies of Skin Vitamin C Brighten and Firm Skin Serum, making sure to apply it on damp skin for optimal absorption due to its thicker consistency. The Cle de Peau Emulsion comes next, providing a silky smooth base, followed by the Allies of Skin Peptides and Omegas Eye Cream to tackle any under-eye concerns.
Moving on to the complexion products that contribute to a flawless base (not shown in the video): I start with the Shiseido Sink or Swim Primer, which is versatile enough to work with any foundation while preventing oiliness. I then reach for the Dior Glow Star Filter in shade 1 to add a radiant touch, followed by the Cle de Peau Radiant Fluid Foundation B20 for a smooth, even finish.
For the evening look, I opted for a collection of standout products, each contributing to a sophisticated and elegant appearance:
Starting with the Victoria Beckham Eye Brow Pencil for perfectly defined brows, I then set them in place with the Givenchy Prisme Libre loose powder in N 03 Voila Rose for a soft finish. I concealed any imperfections with Makeup by Mario concealer in shade 160 and used Got2Be Glue for Brows Brow Gel to ensure my brows stay in place throughout the night. The Charlotte Tilbury Eye Shadow Palette in The Rock Chick added depth and allure to my eyes, expertly applied with the Hakuhoto 124 Brush for the eye crease and the Rephr 23 Brush for the lash line. To finish off the eyes, I used the Victoria Beckham Kajal in night flash for a striking look, complemented by Sweed No Lash Lashes in collaboration with Nikki Makeup, and finished with Sweed The Pro Lash Lift Mascara in black for dramatic volume.
For a touch of warmth, I applied the Charlotte Tilbury Bronzer in shade 2, which also served as the first eyeshadow shade. The Tower 28 Bronzino Illuminating Cream Bronzer added a radiant glow, applied with the Misa Brush. For a pop of color, I chose Milk Blush in shade Chill, which is a stain, so application should be done quickly for the best results. To define my lips, I used the Charlotte Tilbury Iconic Nude Lip Liner, followed by Charlotte Tilbury Beach Perfect Lipstick as the base and Charlotte Tilbury Kim KW Lipstick as the top layer for a perfect finish. Lastly, I topped it off with Lip Dew from Vive and secured the look with Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Setting Spray and Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Powder to ensure longevity.
