Toner

Spray Yonka Paris Lotion to soothe your weathered skin. It's a toner that's both invigorating and refreshing. Yonka Paris Lotion hydrates and balances skin and is alcohol free.

Serum and tinted moisturizer with sunscreen

Next, apply the Instant Lift Serum from Shira. Shira makes the Instant Lift Serum with a polysilicone base to smooth out any lines or large pores for an even porcelain look.

Now you're ready for Glow Time, a full-coverage tinted moisturizer with SPF 25 from Jane Iredale. Since it's full coverage, it evens pigmentation. If you are active or outdoors often, it is water resistant to keep you protected. Apply Glow Time Mineral BB Cream with a fluffy powder brush to get an airbrush look. If fingertips are more convenient, that works too. Jane Iredale is a line of mineral make-up that's anti-irritating and cruelty free. It's non-comedogenic, hypoallergenic and dermatologist tested. Glow Time goes on with a light, fresh grapefruit scent and then becomes unscented while the cream feels light, comfortable and natural to wear, with just a few drops covering the face. A tube of Jane Iredale's Glow Time Mineral BB Cream costs around $48.

For light coverage, Jennifer Pham recommends Tizo from Solar Protection. Solar makes this silicon-based product, which gives you a smooth texture and finish with SPF 40.

Bronzer, highlighter and shadow

Apply a bronzer that matches your skin tone to your cheeks, forehead and nose. Next, apply highlighter underneath well-groomed eyebrows. Jane Iredale's highlighter pencils in white/pink or double dazzle cost $15.50. Shade in shadow, then make sure to use a blending brush so there's no demarcation lines.

Eyeliner

Brush on your eyeliner as close to your lashes as you can. Jane Iredale carries silver and gold liquid but also black and brown for special occasions. Her Mystikol pencils for smoky looks come in an array of colors from lapis and aquamarine to malachite and smoky quartz ($20). Don't forget to curl lashes and then apply Divaderme mascara from Italy for a thick, full glamorous look ($16). Start from the base of your lashes so the product doesn't weigh down your lashes, keeping them curled. Finish off with Jane Iredale's PureMoist lipstick in "Kristen." It's a rouge color that brightens and completes your look.

Skin treatments

To maximize your radiant skin, try the Forever Young treatment to look like a star, available at L'Escape Spa. It will continue to enhance your beauty and give your make-up look a youthful glow. Enhance your skin by adding a Nutrient mask from L'Escape Spa which retrains your muscles while it dissolves your dead cells. Just three treatments a week will continue to give you that youthful healthy glow.
