Hydrate skin
First up is hydration. Brown always touts the importance of drinking water, but she also knows a good moisturizer does wonders for the skin. “Moisturize like crazy,” she says. Hydrating skin helps plump fine lines and primes your palette for makeup. Though she shared the drugstore moisturizer she’s a “fan” of, she also reaches for “The Hippie Stick. But you could also put some of The Miracle Balm on. You could put it anywhere.”
Add glow all-over
Why stop at your face? She recommends applying Miracle Balm on your body (think chest, décollatage). And she wants women to lean into a bit of sparkle. “I think women think if you’re a certain age you can’t wear [shimmer],” Brown says. “The truth is you can—just don’t put it all over your face.” She says you can even try the Shimmer Face Oil, which she says is “beautiful.”
Spice things up with red
Though not a fan of red lipstick on herself, Brown loves a classic “red nail.” She says it’s, “Very chic. Very Parisian.” If you want to try a red pout, opt for a red gloss or Lippie Stick for a subtle wash of color.
