The Product That These Celebrity Makeup Artists Can’t Get Enough Of
“My skin just feels amazing after using it… I love it!”
Good makeup starts with good skin.
It’s an age old saying that you probably learnt from your mother at 15 years old when you were first introduced to concealer (and quickly adopted it as an alternative to lipstick). And while most of the advice we received from our parents in our adolescent years went in one ear and out the other, these words of wisdom managed to stick.
From teen years to adulthood and beyond, nailing the pre-makeup skin routine is a feat many of us dream of conquering. What was once a five minute exercise of applying 22 different lotions and potions is (thankfully) now a lot simpler. All you’ll need to nail the perfect pre-makeup base is a singular, multi-tasking product that (conveniently) just hit the shelves.
Introducing: Minenssey’s new Micellar Cleansing Water ($34). Formulated with chamomile to relieve the skin of common discomforts like acne, inflammation and dryness, calendula for its antibacterial and soothing properties and white tea to shield the skin from ageing environmental aggressors, this cleansing water serves three roles: to cleanse, soothe and condition the skin for seamless makeup application and removal.
If you still need convincing, perhaps celebrity makeup artists Max May and Simone Forte can persuade you. These two know makeup and makeup removers. “The standout feature for me is that it leaves no residue,” says May who calls Natasha Oakley and Jodi Gordon some of his regular clients. “I’m all about time and efficiency on set so [when I’m prepping the skin], I need products that save me that time.”
Forte, who is known to paint the faces of Sonia Kruger and Sophie Monk, agrees, saying her beauty kit is now incomplete without at least one bottle of Minenssey’s Micellar Cleansing Water on hand. “I love to use it pre-makeup, on both my clients and myself, to prep the skin and remove any dirt or debris,” she says. The ease of the no-rinse formula is also a standout point for Forte who can now easily remove makeup fallout or excess product with the swipe of a cotton pad and without the need for a sink. A game changer in every sense of the word, we recommend adding the Minenssey Micellar Cleansing Water to your cart quick smart.
