How To Fake Perfect Skin

No one does skin quite like makeup artist and Westman Atelier founder Gucci Westman: impeccable but imperceptible.

Fortunately for the rest of us, the makeup artist has distilled her expertise into forgiving formulas that she swears can be applied intuitively with fingers, a brush, and aplomb. For a (foolproof) lesson on looking flawless, we invited Gucci and actress Sara Foster to our VIOLET GREY boutique to demonstrate the guru’s tried-and-true techniques and showcase her easy-to-use products.

“[Gucci] was actually the first makeup artist to ever do my makeup. I was fifteen years old,” reveals actress Sara Foster. Today the duo describe themselves as moms who are just trying to “keep it all together and stay young-looking without looking crazy.” Or, as Sara puts it, “I just want to look fresh but not like ‘Oh my gosh, she has no makeup on!’ You know, the look.”
