Hi guys! Today I'm going to recreate the look
I achieved on Isabella Rossellini
for the presentation of the new Rénergie Multi-Glow
line by Lancôme, for which Isabella is testimonial.
It's a very fresh and luminous makeup
with very bright lips.
It's a makeup the looks good on everybody.
I'm very excited and honored to have as a model
for this video Isabella Rossellini herself.
Isabella is an icon of beauty,
elegance and sophistication.
I hope you like this video
and I send you a big kiss.
We already applied Rénergie Multi-Glow Cream
as a moisturizer.
- Mine!
- Exactly.
As an under eye cream I used Absolue L'Extrait
and on the lip Rosy Plump balm.
This cream was launched 27 years ago
and I was the model in its commercial.
After all these years I'm now doing
the new campaign that is coming up.
- Do you use it daily?
- I do, although it's new.
Sometimes I apply on half of my face the old version
and on the other half the new one.
- What's the difference?
- The new one is more lightweight and glowy. I love it.
I tried it and I love its luminosity,
the skin actually reflects the light.
I guess that for a man it's not easy to wear
a heavy cream, so a lightweight cream is ideal.
Although I must say
that I use all type of creams.
- Do you ever wear makeup?
- I do and I'm actually wearing some today.
I use makeup to conceal under eye circles
and blemishes. Today men wear makeup, too.
I now apply Teint Miracle foundation,
which is very lightweight, hydrating and luminous
and I think that it works very well
with the Rénergie Multi-Glow Cream.
I'm using it in the shade 010.
- Do you apply it with a brush?
- Yes, this is a soft brush.
I start from the centre of the face and I blend it
outwards, it's important to apply a small quantity.
- I always use my fingers.
- Fingers are completely fine.
- What counts is the final result.
- This is pleasant and relaxing.
It's important to choose a shade
that perfectly matches our complexion.
Foundation is only supposed to even out the skin,
and not to darken or lighten it.
Sometimes it's difficult to find the exact shade,
although Lancôme has a very wide range.
- Can you mix two shades together?
- Absolutely.
It's important to mix two shades of the same
foundation, as not all foundations are compatible.
Some are oil-based, others are water-based,
so they may separate on the skin.
You're applying a thin layer, I can tell
even though I don't have a mirror.
- I also blend it towards the neck.
- Yes, to avoid that line of makeup.
I do the same. I apply it on my ears, on the neck...
But you don't apply it on the lids, do you?
I usually apply concealer on the lids because
it's more pigmented and it creases less.
Sometimes the eyeshadow ends up
in the creases throughout the day.
I use Effacernes concealer n. 2, which is long-lasting,
it has high coverage and it's also hydrating.
It's important to use an hydrating product
on the under-eye, as it's a very delicate and dry area.
I use a small amount of product and a brush.
Do you use makeup on a daily basis?
I prefer moisturizer, perfume and lipstick.
This is a product I love, it's called
Custom Strobind Drop and it's a liquid pearl.
- Where do you apply it?
- Cheekbones and all prominent areas on the face.
- I've never done that.
- This is a new product.
- I've never used it.
- You can apply it both with your fingers or a brush.
With a small brush I lightly apply it
on cheekbones, bridge of the nose and cupid's bow.
This way, the skin will reflect the light
in a radiant and non shiny way.
- I now apply concealer on the lids.
- I have never done this, but I'll try.
It mainly helps
with the longevity of the eye makeup.
Sometimes it's also difficult
to evenly distribute the colour on the lid.
Tools are also important, you can't really use
your fingers to apply eyeshadows, they're too big.
I now apply a thin layer of setting powder to absorb
the concealer and to allow eyeshadows to blend easily.
Blending the eyeshadow
is the most difficult part.
I'm using the Terre D'Ivoire palette
and I dab this sand shade on the entire lid.
- So, you dab the eyeshadow.
- Yes, I press it on the lid. Otherwise I get lots of fall-out.
I now mix it with this luminous shade
and the lid is basically done with just one colour.
- It looks beautiful.
- And it took about 20 seconds.
In order to define the eye,
it's important to use a pencil.
I'm using a kajal because it's softer
and blends better than the long-lasting ones.
This is Brun, the dark brown one,
and I apply it on the base of the lashes.
I do this when I'm shooting a scene
where I'm supposed to be bare faced.
We just wear foundation to even out the skin
and eye pencil applied like this to intensify the eyes.
With a small brush, I'm blending the pencil to create
a soft smokey effect on the base of the lashes.
I then add more intensity
even closer to the lashline.
The lid goes from dark, medium to light.
Isabella, you have been the first
Lancôme testimonial, haven't you?
Not exactly. Lancôme was founded 85 years ago
and was sold to different companies around the world,
so in America it was a mass-market brand,
in Europe it was a luxury brand...
L'Oreal is a huge company
that also incorporates Lancôme
and it re-launched Lancôme
in the 80's as a big luxury brand.
That's when I arrived. Part of my success was due
to the fact that the company had the need of unify.
Lancôme was divided in different companies under
the same name, so I represented the unification.
I was featuring in three campaigns in the world
to try and unify the company.
I was in one campaign for America, in another one
for Europe and in another one for Asia.
They decided to choose only one testimonial
as a first step to unify the company.
I was lucky enough to be chosen
and I witnessed the unification process.
It was during the start of globalization, you wanted
to find the same product everywhere you went.
The fact that I remained for so many years
helped, as it was the unifying factor.
For Trésor, the perfume we launched in 1989/90,
they wanted only one international campaign.
It was a video and photographic campaign.
I shot three tests, created by the American, European
and Asian art directors, but only one was chosen.
They then made market researches and they chose
that beautiful film that still now has a strong impact.
- In the meantime I filled in your brows.
- Oh, let me see! That's important.
- I also do that. What did you use? I got distracted.
- I used a brown pencil.
- Natural and defined.
- They always make the entire look neater.
After I fill them in,
I define their shape with some concealer.
For a neater and more precise shape.
For mascara,
I'm applying the new Monsieur Big.
- I saw the commercial, it's quite funny.
- Also the name.
I'm leaving the eye like this,
for a nice daytime look.
For the cheeks, I love the Cushion Blush Subtil
in the shade Splash Corail.
I apply it with my fingers.
- This is also pearly.
- No, this one is a cream with a sponge.
- It's water based and it looks very fresh.
- And you apply it with your fingers. Me too.
- I would go for a red.
- Yes, I love bright colours on the lips.
I often wear matte lipstick or I apply them
and then blot the excess with a tissue.
I'm now removing the excess balm
so that the lipstick better adhere to the lips.
I first apply it with a small brush.
This is the Absolu Rouge n. 189, Isabella.
It's mine, of course I liked it!
I didn't know the name,
but it was the one that stood out the most.
- I need to shut up, otherwise it's difficult to apply it.
- No problem, I'm used to all kind of things.
Yes, this is my red.
- I apply it with a brush and I define it with a pencil.
- I do the same.
- I now fill it in with the stick so that it lasts longer.
- I do exactly the same thing.
The very last step is the beauty lotion,
which is one of my favourite Lancôme products.
It's a vitamin spray that you apply at the end.
- It locks in the makeup.
- It smells amazing.
So, you don't use powder?
Yes, you can use it, but in this case we used a small
amount of product and pressed it well into the skin.
I also prefer to avoid powder, I only use it
if I'm a bit shiny during an interview.
I'll bring it with me for touch ups before the interview,
but I for now I'd leave it as it is. Nice and luminous.
So, this is the final look. Thank you so much,
it was a gift for me. Can I hug you?
- Thank you so much.
- Thank you, Daniele.
