World-famous makeup artist and Neen founder Jeanine Lobell says the route to a chic, summery glow is easy: “Focus on the skin first, and then dab on highlights strategically to brighten and lift your whole face.”

Here, using her friend Ruthie Friedlander (founder of At Large Agency and cofounder of The Chain, a nonprofit eating disorder advocacy group) as a model, Lobell walks us through her steps—and favorite tips and tricks—for a you-but-fresher-and-glowier summer look. (Don’t miss the video—it’s mesmerizing, as well as incredibly instructive.)

Your Skin Is Everything

Lobell spends serious time moisturizing clients’ skin before she ever opens a makeup jar.

“I love mixing concealer shades. The RMS adds the right amount of brightening to the under-eye area and neutralizes any dark spots. And the Jillian Dempsey is great for areas that need a little extra cover-up for a flawless base. Tip: I also use it in darker shades as a cream contour.”

“Start the glowy-eye look with Beam: It’s a light pink-gold that looks good on everyone. Smooth it all over the lid—it’s so flattering. Then, later, when your whole face is done, you can go back and apply a little more as a highlight, wherever the sun would hit. It’s so pretty.”
