Pauldine is all about supporting small batch brands, particularly the Épanouie line. Her skincare routine revolves around their products, creating a luxurious and effective regimen.

“My favorite part of my beauty routine is Skin prep. Sticking to a routine that cleanses , hydrates and moistures your skin will have your makeup looking flawless every time. My favorites are from an artisanal brand called “ Épanouie”Luxe Skincare. I use the Adoucir Daily Cleanser to cleanse my skin of all impurities , followed by the Rafraichir Daily Toner , The Soyeuse facial Oil to seal in any moisturizer applied. I also like to use the Oasis facial water to refresh my skin in between makeup application.’

Dachna’s beauty arsenal combines high-performance skincare with long-lasting makeup and a captivating fragrance.

“When it comes to makeup, I’ve been loving a lightweight, minimal look. My go to are the Dior Backstage Foundation (it’s more like a tinted foundation—super light), Hourglass Vanish Airbrush Concealer, Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Pencil, Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Powder, and Charlotte Tilbury Setting Spray. For my lips, I use NYX Espresso Lip Liner, NYX Sugar High Lip Gloss, finished with Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb in Fenty Glow.

As for perfume, I like to switch it up with the seasons, but right now, I’m loving Louis Vuitton Attrape-Rêves, Delina Exclusif, and Mugler Alien Goddess.”

Go-To Products To Prep Your Skin For Makeup

After a long day of work or coming home from an event, I use Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water All in 1 Cleanser & Makeup Remover to gently remove my makeup!

Once I remove all my makeup I cleanse my face twice! My current obsession is the 

Kiehls Rare Earth Deep Pore-Minimizing & Polishing Powder Cleanser. I add a small amount of the powder to the palm of my hands and add a little bit of water to activate the cleanser. It goes on gentle and it helps shrink my pores. In between facial cleaners, I also use Tower 28 SOS Gel Cleanser. I love how this cleanser isn’t harsh on my skin, leaving it squeaky clean! 

After I pat dry my skin with a disposable face towel, I use the Clarins Double Serum Anti-Aging + Anti-Wrinkle Serum. This product has literally made my skin look and feel so rejuvenated! I wish I discovered this product a long time ago, my skin has never looked this good! 

After I apply the serum, I use Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream. This cream is so hydrating! Perfect for dry skin. The weather is getting colder and this facial cream locks in moisture seamlessly!

Makeup Products  I am Obsessed With

As much as skin care is important to me, so are quality makeup products. Here are my ultimate favorites:

For foundation I am obsessed withMakeup by Mario Surreal Skin Foundation is the color 25 W. This foundation looks like skin! It goes on so smoothly and the formula feels so luxurious.

For concealer,Towers 28 Swipe Serum Concealer in the color 12 has been ultimately the BEST concealer I’ve ever used. Goes on smoothly and leaves no creases! 

Blush is my ultimate go to! My favorite blush at the moment is theAeva Beauty It Girl Cream Blush (HAITIAN OWNED)  in the color left on red! Such a beautiful and pigmented blush, a little goes a long way. 

Last but not least! Lip gloss, the one lip gloss that I take everywhere with me is theCOVERGIRL Clean Fresh Yummy Lip Gloss in the color My Strawbooty. I love the scent and it doesn’t feel sticky on my lips. Best part is that it is very affordable!

“La roche posay cleanser and moisture is my chef’s kiss combo. After a long day either from work at the hospital or just winding down using these two leave my face feeling clean! Removing all the particles and oils; I always use a facial scrubber to clean my face. I try not to use my hands”
