Nicole Richie turned heads recently at the CFDA Awards in New York. The “Simple Life” star is ageless and glowing by way of makeup artist Vincent Oquendo (@makeupvincent).

Richie was recently fronting for Estée Lauder, as reported in Happi.

Solawave

Richie is the latest celebrity to prep her skin with Solawave tools and the first to also use the brand’s new Light Boost skincare, the company contends.

Oquendo used Solawave’s Radiant Renewal Skincare Wand and Eye Recovery Pro Mask in addition to Solawave’s just launched LightBoost Activating Serum + Eye Cream to prime Richie’s skin for the event.

According to Oquendo: “For Nicole’s CFDA Awards look, I wanted her skin to look sun-kissed and luminous almost like a sunset. Solawave was perfect to prep my client’s skin, so they look refreshed for the red carpet, especially when I’m using warm sunset inspired make up colors.

“I started Nicole’s skin prep by applying the Solawave LightBoost Activating Serum, gently massaging in a few drops to hydrate and plump the skin.

“The activating properties of the serum made the skin extra ready for the galvanic current of the Solawave 4-in-1 Radiant Renewal Wand to smooth and depuff before makeup application. 

 “Last, I used the Solawave LightBoost Eye Cream and dabbed a small amount around her eyes with my ring finger, followed by the Solawave Eye Recovery Mask. This helped reduce puffiness and brightened the under-eye area.”

In other news, Solawave is expanding its lineup of acne-fighting products with an all-new category: Bye Acne Serum Infused Microdart Patches.

Laura Geller Beauty

Mature makeup brand Laura Geller Beauty joined forces with Oquendo to create Richie’s beauty look as well. 

Oquendo created a “vacation inspired look” using Laura Geller best-sellers such as Serum Blush Cheek Tint and Baked Blush-n-Brighten to achieve a “perfect sunset, radiant glow.”
