Natural Beauty Over Perfection: The Everyday Makeup That Enhances Your Features Instead Of Covering Them With Jennifer Basing And Chris Crenshaw [Ep 87]

Has your beauty routine stopped matching the face looking back at you?

In this episode, I'm joined by Jennifer Basing and Chris Crenshaw, makeup artists at Jones Road Beauty in Palm Beach who have each spent more than 30 years in the industry, from training rooms at Mac to the chairs where they work with women every day.

Jennifer, Chris, and I talk about what changes on mature skin as elasticity goes and lids stop staying as open as they once were, and why the answer is almost always less product rather than more. They walk me through everyday makeup that takes 10 minutes, the eyeliner angle Jennifer picked up while she was working for Charlotte Tilbury, and the one step Chris does first that I never would have guessed. We also get into why natural beauty shows up in how you speak to yourself as much as in anything you put on your face. Jennifer trained me in makeup 17 years ago at the Mac office in Miami when I was a Miami Dolphins cheerleader, so having her back on this podcast brought everything full circle for me.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why makeup can work as an accessory to your own features instead of a mask
• What to reach for first when you have 10 minutes and still want to look like yourself
• Why skincare tips and hydration can do more for your face than any product on top
• How the focus feature rule keeps your eyes and your lips from competing
• Why concealer application works better in a few strategic spots than a painted triangle
• How the winged eyeliner angle Jennifer learned can open a lid that isn't as taut
• Why a smoky eye still works as you get older, and which shade to layer first
• What Chris does before anything else that saves her the entire cleanup
• Why a darker setting powder may suit fair skin better than bronzer
• How a clear lip pencil can stop red lipstick from traveling into fine lines
• Why brush cleaning every week can protect your skin more than you expect

Whether you're after makeup tips that suit aging skin or a fresh way to look at your own face, this episode is your invitation to enhance what you have right now.

Hit play and let's grow together,
