And I did this shoot in the Bahamas, and I didn’t want to apply and reapply SPF all day because it didn’t look good, and my skin was so irritated and peeling and I had vitiligo. It started to get worse, so there was no change. It was just sun damage, but physically my appearance changed. And it happened really fast…for all skin tones, types, and conditions. I wanted to incorporate beautiful skin care to match this.”

David Razzano — Sephora
Westman Atelier Complexion Drops.

“The big learning curve for most people is how to get the right skin tone,” said David Razzano, Sephora’s beauty director. “If you look at the beginnings of social media and beauty gurus, I think there was a movement towards really over-the-top, full-coverage makeup and then doing something like sculpting. But it’s more like hiding the skin. So even if you don’t have perfect skin, I think it’s good to think about your skin tone in layers. And very few do.
“Rather than putting all the pressure on your foundation to work, think about how your foundation and concealer work together. Let’s say you want to have bright, very natural-looking skin. To cover up some issues, use a product like Westman Atelier’s Complexion Drops, which is a lightweight foundation that doesn’t have much coverage but does a great job of washing away color and pigmentation. It’s all about making your skin look good and hiding your flaws, rather than hiding them all. Once you learn that balance, you’ll find that you master your skin and don’t need a full-coverage foundation at all. ”
