One day while searching the web, I came across a website by celebrity makeup artist Troy Jensen. He does amazing work and his photography is quite incredible as well. Click his highlighted name to check it out yourself.
I noticed that he used a lot of Jouer makeup. I had heard a little about this line a long time ago, but to see these amazing results that Troy had using Jouer, I had to check into it further. I went to their website and saw that you can purchase Jouer product online or at Henri Bendel. Since I’m in NYC in a few weeks, I figured I will be checking this out for sure. But, in the meantime I was contacted by their rep asking if I’d be interested in trying a few products. How”s that for good karma! Here’s what I’ve been using:
I put the Age-Repairing Brightener under my eyes. It gives me great coverage and I love the fact that it is good for my eyes as well. That’s the thing with this line – a lot of beauty benefiting ingredients. This has concentrated Dermaxyl® Complex, Orchid Complex, Camellia Oil, and Vitamins A, B & E. All great for moisturizing and for fighting those things we hate, called free radicals.
I then place this Age-Repairing Concealer on a few areas on my face, like places I may have broken capillaries and the such. It gives great coverage and it stays put. You don’t want to put this under your eye as it may be a bit too much for that, but anywhere else you need an extra bit of coverage, it’s perfect.
When done with those steps I use this Age-Repairing Perfector. I have a lot of discoloration and redness that doesn’t always cover with a lightweight foundation, so this is perfect for evening out your skin tone. You can layer this depending on the coverage you like.
Some days when I don’t feel like using a foundation (gasp!) but need some coverage to even out my skin, this is all I use – I don’t use a foundation. I don’t think my makeup bag will ever be without this again. Right now I am using #4 and I think come fall I will need to get #3 for my fair skin. This isn’t a heavy feeling product, yet it covers and smooths so well. It also contains Dermaxyl® Complex and the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory Vitamin E, Arnica Oil, and Japanese Tea Extract.
And lastly to prep my face for color and want a foundation, I use the oil-free Luminizing Moisture Tint. When I want a bit more “finish” or coverage I use this and for me, it has been the best tinted moisturizer I have ever used. I’ve used other “luminizing” tinted moisturizers before and I felt like I looked like I had put a coat of bad shimmer all over my face. Not with this – it’s just a tiny hint of luminizer so you get a fresh look to your face, not something that screams “SHIMMER”!
This is oil-free, water resistant, fragrance free and hypoallergenic. And it contains SPF 20 to protect from UVA and UVB rays. Love that!
I have used these products every day since getting them. I know my other face-prep products are wondering when I’m going to pick them up, and I can honestly say I don’t know. Now I am really dying to get to NYC to check out the whole line and add a few color pieces to my collection.
