Ruddy Skin Turned Even on Bridget Fonda

Every skin tone has their own special needs. And ruddy skin can be especially hard to manage.

No skin tone is better than another. We are all unique, and have our own natural beauty. Learning how to appreciate and enhance that beauty is the preferred approach on True Hollywood Makeup.

If you have a fresh, healthy, ruddy skin tone it can sometimes be difficult to deal with it’s inherent blotchiness. You may find it challenging to find makeup that works for you. If that is the case, then this post is just for you.

Susanna Torosian is a celebrity makeup artist that can definitely help you. She has a fantastic regimen that she uses with a couple of her own celebrity clients.

Here is a routine that Susanna Torosian uses on Bridget Fonda to make her already fresh and ruddy skin tone stunning and even her out on days when she needs a bit of balance in her complexion.

In some ways a make-up artist has to be like a magician. Now you see it and with a wave of my brush and some really good concealer…. now you don’t! I would have to say that working on ruddy complexions such as Bridget Fonda’s, can be a challenge for some, I dive right in so to speak.

My favorite weapon for combating the uneven, ruddy skin is Laura Mercier’s concealer foundation. Here’s the trick– take your favorite eye cream or facial moisturizer and mix it along with the concealer and a concealer brush and start off by evening out the eye area, not forgetting to go right up to the sides of the bridge of the nose.

A lot of fair complexions on red heads and blondes can tend to have the, what I call, “Blue Vein Effect,” so you want to make sure that you tone down and even out this area underneath the eyes and along the sides of the bridge of the nose and extend outward to conceal the cheeks, chin and forehead.

When you have applied the concealer to all the areas of the face that need all over evening out of the skin tone, follow with a lightly dampened sponge and blend and smooth the concealer in all over the face. This works like a charm and is really a flawless natural looking second skin.

To set the concealer foundation I always use a veil of bare mineral powder. For one, it’s very soft and light on the skin which is also perfect for setting the concealer underneath the eyes and at the sides of the bridge of the nose. Thus Presto! Now you have an all over evened out canvas to work with!
