The key to impressing the one you love is to keep your skin looking fresh and natural-looking, and making your lips kissably accessible. By incorporating a few tips with your existing CDB products, we can get you looking fabulous for Valentine’s Day in just a few minutes:

1. The key to healthy looking skin is an even tone all over the neck and face. Lightly dust your Veludo Velvet Foundation all over your face to give yourself a light, fresh look. Use two or three layers, if you like, and don’t worry…it won’t build up and look caked on!

Christopher’s pro tip #1: Be sure to get the foundation under the chin and where the chin and the neck meet, this way you will have uniform color from base of the neck to the top of the forehead. (Many of us have a neck and face that are two different colors. This technique will blend the two together to one uniform color.)

2. Want a “glow” in five seconds? Our Saúde Pele Radiance Booster is the perfect accessory to your makeup regime. Simply dust a SMALL AMOUNT wherever you need a little extra “lift”. Remember, a little goes a long way.

Chistopher's pro tip #2: For his celebrity clients, Christopher blends a small amount of Saude Pele into their favorite moisturizer right before he uses it. It gives a beautiful and subtle glow. He also puts it on their eyelids to brighten them up, before adding color.

3. Use bronzer. If you want to warm up your coloring the Sol Bronzer in our women’s kit is a sure fire winner. Take a small amount on the tip of your brush, and blend it into your cheekbone. It adds extra warmth to the skin without looking obvious.

Christopher’s pro tip #3: Make your bronzer “pop!” Take a very small amount of your favorite Christopher Drummond Beauty Blush (Silky Garnet, perhaps?) and add a touch of it to the apple of your cheek (the very front part of your cheek).

It adds a small amount of color, while making it look natural.

4. Focus on your Lips: Christopher had one thought in mind when choosing Ruby Slippers lip gloss for Valentine’s Day: to make your lips as kissable as possible! From the gorgeously subtle red color, to the light scent of blood orange, to the nutritious ingredients in the gloss, what’s not to love??? This is a limited edition product, so get it while you can.

Christopher’s pro tip #4: Make your lips even MORE kissable!

Step 1: Apply your nude liner on top of your lipstick. It blends better, and won’t have a noticeable line.

Step 2: Add Saúde Pele to the middle of your upper and lower lip after applying Ruby Slippers Gloss. It fills them out more!
