CC Loves... Dr. Brandt Skincare!

Darlings, happy Friday! Nourish yourself this weekend and beyond with CC's skincare secret: Dr. Brandt Integrative Dermatology, founded in 1995 by Dr. Fredric Brandt. Dr. Brandt's love of skincare started at Sloan-Kettering, where he specialized in the research and treatment of leukemia, using natural elements to fight against the growth of cancer. Green tea, vitamin A and vitamin C, effectively utilized in patient care under Dr. Brandt’s expert eye, became the basis of his future skincare line.

Here a few of CC's preferred products from the range:

Dr. Brandt Pores No More Luminizer Primer, a lightweight silky cream that creates a glowing, flawless complexion, blurs the look of pores and imperfections, and provides a smooth canvas for foundation and makeup application. Ideal for clients (like CC!) concerned with enlarged pores, lack of radiance, and texture imperfections.

CC Loves... Geisha-Inspired Beauty!

Darlings, CC finds endless inspiration from the beauty rituals of the Japanese geisha!

Perfect One Focus Smooth Cleansing Balm

This award-winning Japanese balm provides deep pore cleansing, effectively removing not only makeup, but unwanted detritus such as sebum and keratin that can clog pores. 

Curél Japanese Skincare Makeup Cleansing Oil

Tough on makeup, gentle on your skin, this cleansing facial oil gently removes makeup, dirt and oil from deep within pores. CC loves that it’s formulated to be gentle on dry, sensitive skin, washing away impurities without stripping skin of natural ceramides.

Tatcha Rice Polish, a gentle foaming enzyme powder made from Japanese rice bran to exfoliate and polish skin for a healthy glow, at tatcha.com.

Chanel Le Rouge Duo Ultra Tenue Liquid Lip Color Shade 54, Strawberry Red, at chanel.com. 

When it comes to a geisha’s traditional stage makeup, the white makeup and dramatic lip and eye are more subtle by candlelight (which is how geishas traditionally perform). “Their makeup comes from the kabuki heritage, specifically so that people can see their expression on the stage by candlelight,” Tsai says. “It’s much more translucent in person than it is in pictures.” They buy a white powder at their local apothecary and mix it with a solution to create a paste. The red lipstick is called Kyoto Red, made from beni, which is a pure extract from Japanese safflower.
