Sometimes if you layer, you placed on a serum and you then lock it in with moisturizer. However in case you do moisturizer first, adopted by serum, you’ll all the time have this layer of hydration that is floating on prime of the pores and skin. So once I put basis on and you then powder it strategically, you all the time have this glow that breaks by way of. All of my purchasers are likely to have the identical satin pores and skin texture as a result of I exploit the identical approach on everybody.”

Minimalism is one thing Brown additionally extends to her personal skincare routine. Contemporary off working with Jordan for his Creed III promotional tour and, most not too long ago, the Oscars, Brown is consistently on the go. “I’ve gone from Mexico to Paris to London, from London to Utah for a day, after which to New York,” she says. “I will not lower corners with my routine, however I haven’t got an excessively sophisticated routine to start with. If I add too many issues, quite a lot of occasions it may possibly tip over into studying greasy. That is one of many the explanation why I am a minimalist. Pores and skin must be clear and strategically moisturized.”
