Jordyn Woods and Mario Dedivanovic Are Here to Show You How to Get a Flawless Face
Guys, more is more. And if you’re searching for a lesson in how to do the absolute most (makeup edition), look no further. Keep reading to get the 411 on how get a face beat sent from above. Instagram star Jordyn Woods-and her celeb-makeup-artist BFF Mario Dedivanovic-show you how to master the modern art of serving major face.
You’re going to need two highlighters and a wild card to get this ultra-strobed look. Apply a liquid version (pro fave: Anastasia Liquid Glow Highlighter) on your cheekbones, center of the nose, Cupid’s bow and brow bones using a damp makeup sponge, says Dedivanovic. Then tap powder highlighter right on top (try Maybelline New York FaceStudio Master Chrome in Molten Gold). The final layer: Aquaphor or Vaseline, Dedivanovic reveals. “The glossy texture gives skin that lit-from-within glow.”
This going-out staple doesn’t actually require a bunch of palettes and brushes. Just smudge black eyeliner (Covergirl Perfect Blend Eyeliner in Basic Black blends easily) along the upper and lower lash lines to create definition, then use a shimmery slate-gray shadow along the creases and toward the outer corners, says Dedivanovic. Last step: “baking” your under eyes (aka applying pressed powder that’s a shade lighter than your skin tone). “It works like highlighter to make your eyes really pop,” Dedivanovic says.
We’re here for Instabrows this good. “It’s all about using your natural shape and color as a guide,”says Dedivanovic, who exaggerates both using three different-colored brow pencils for an ombre? effect. Go with your normal, everyday pencil to fill in the middle area, then go a shade lighter on inner brows and a shade deeper to extend and darken the tails. Blend everything together with a spoolie brush dipped in brow gel.
A shine-free finish can be an issue on dry lips, so Dedivanovic suggests prepping with a damp washcloth to buff flakes and then applying a balm. Once it’s absorbed, line the outer edges of your mouth with red pencil (use a shade that’s slightly deeper than your lipstick), smudging it into the lip area as you go. Then it’s lipstick time: Dedivanovic prefers sticks (try Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet in Rouge Feu) over crackly liquids. “You can mattify the texture even more by dabbing with a tissue and tapping on translucent powder,” he says.
Ones this long and lush require just a little faking. First, curl your natural lashes and load them up with mascara, says Dedivanovic (he likes L’Ore?al Paris Voluminous Carbon Black Mascara). Next, pop on a set of natural-looking strips, followed by another coat of mascara to blend the two. To make lashes really stand out, trace your upper lash lines with a bright pencil (we went with orange: Make Up For Ever Artist Color Pencil in 702 Any Tangerine).
First Makeup Memory:
“I was a tomboy growing up. Then I met my now–best friend [ed. note: Hi, Kylie]. She used to do my makeup for me all the time, and eventually I became hooked and learned to do it myself. It took some trial and error, though. When I first bought foundation, I didn’t even know I had to match it to my skin tone!”
Beauty Collabs:
“Working with your best friend is always fun. With Kylie Cosmetics, we did a lot of the creative work, from picking out shades to designing the packaging. I also worked with TooFaced to create one of the shades, Social Butterfly, in their new lip-gloss collection.”
Athleisure Line, SECNDNTURE:
“Activewear should always feel like second skin, which is what inspired the name [pronounced second nature]. I wanted to create a range of options that every body type would feel comfortable in.”
Body Positivity:
“After I lost my dad, I started working out a lot as a way to cope with my emotions. People said, ‘Oh, you’re not bodypos anymore. You’re losing too much weight.’ It hurt. Being bodypos isn’t about being a size, it’s about loving yourself.”
