✨ The Step-By-Step Breakdown ✨
Molecular Saviour Probiotics Treatment Mist ($68)
Kayleen kicked things off with this refreshing mist to wake up Amy’s skin and give it that first hit of hydration. It’s light, airy, and the ultimate “good morning” to your face.
Advanced Lifting Serum ($188) + Advanced Repair Serum ($199)
Next came a cocktail of serums, because why settle for one when you can have two? Kayleen mixed the Multi Peptides & GF Advanced Lifting Serum with the Copper Tripeptide & Ectoin Advanced Repair Serum and massaged them in to create that healthy, lit-from-within glow. (Pro tip: Take your time with this step. Massage = magic.)
Peptides & Antioxidants Advanced Firming Daily Treatment ($125)
Moisturizer is where things get serious, and this one brought the hydration without feeling heavy. Amy needed something that would last all night and wear flawlessly under makeup — and this firming treatment did exactly that.
Peptides & Omegas Firming Eye Cream ($85)
Because no one has time for creased concealer. This creamy formula melted into Amy’s under-eyes and gave the perfect base for makeup to glide on seamlessly.
Peptide & Ceramide Repair Lip Balm ($25)
A hydrated pout is a must, especially when you’re talking (and laughing) on stage at the Oscars. Kayleen finished off prep with this nourishing balm to keep Amy’s lips smooth and supple before applying any color.
