I attended an event to learn all about Neutrogena’s new makeup additions with the one and only Kerry Washington from Scandal.
Kerry told us that when she first started working as Neutrogena’s brand ambassador she noticed a need for more variety in the shades that were being offered. Even she had a struggle to find a color that matched.
In order to solve this issue, Neutrogena has launched three new “Nourishing Long Wear” foundation shades (Caramel, Cocoa and Chestnut) to suit women of various ethnicities. They have also added 10 new MoistureSmooth Color Sticks. Neutrogena tried the new shades on 250 women and each found her color. These foundations last up to 12 hours and actually help improve your natural skin tone over time.
I was lucky enough to have my own min makeover with Carola Gonzalez, Kerry’s personal makeup artist. She chose the Nourishing Long Wear Makeup in Natural Beige as my foundation. In order to pick the right shade, Carola swatched them on my neck and later compared them and chose the one closest to my skin tone.
To start, we used Hydro Boost Water Gel to refresh my face. She then applied the foundation and taught me the best way to highlight my face. To complete my look we used the Classic Red on my lips. This color is exclusive to Target. I couldn’t believe that we got this look down in under 10 minutes. A beauty routine every woman can get behind.
After testing out some of my favorite lip colors and being matched we were given the chance to chat with Kerry and Carola about some their makeup tips and secrets.
I wanted to know how to get rid of dark circles under my eyes. Carola suggested using a concealer with a thick finish while Kerry added sleeping and drinking lots of water. Kerry also said that you should never go to bed with makeup on.
It was so much fun it felt like we were sitting and chatting with one of our girlfriends.
