Want glowing skin? Makeup guru Enzo Fournier reveals the foundation tricks you need
International makeup artist Enzo Fournier is transforming our approach to foundation, beginning with the art of skincare.
Want radiant and glowing skin? Makeup expert Enzo Fournier, known internationally for Clarins, shares simple tips to achieve that. Fournier emphasizes that skincare is the foundation for flawless makeup application. His current assignment in South Africa sees him teaching makeup enthusiasts how to use the new Double Serum Foundation, a product that fuses skincare and coloring in one formula. This foundation is designed to offer coverage, hydration, and radiance, addressing common issues like dry skin and flaky makeup.
What sets Double Serum Foundation apart is its dual-phase formula, combining a color phase with a hydrating phase. It contains 14 active ingredients, including nine plant extracts and five active molecules. Available in 37 shades, users can select from a light everyday look to a more polished finish. The foundation’s adjustable dispensing system allows for customized coverage.
While the foundation plays a crucial role, Fournier stresses that proper application, especially in hot and humid conditions, can make a significant difference. He shares a technique inspired by his experience in Malaysia, where temperatures reached 40°C and humidity levels were around 90%. "The best thing is to first apply just a very thin layer with the brush, always, not with the hand," he advises.
After that, gently pressing the product into the skin using your hands helps it meld with the complexion, preventing it from sitting heavily on the surface.
In hot weather, Fournier recommends using a little powder to control shine but only on the T-zone to maintain a natural glow. This technique is particularly useful for achieving a fresh, natural finish without looking overly matte or heavy. For dry skin, selecting the right texture of moisturizer is as important as choosing the correct foundation shade.
Enzo emphasizes that beauty routines should be tailored to individual skin needs, rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach. He notes that some may benefit from a richer moisturizer at night, while a lighter texture could be more comfortable during the day, especially in hot weather.
