Laura Mercier is adding two new skincare products to her portfolio: Infusion de Rose Nourishing Oil and Infusion de Rose Nourishing Crème. This collection is very special to Laura, as she has long adored the rose flower for its sophisticated fragrance, natural simplicity and powerful skincare benefits. The two new products were also inspired by experiences as a makeup artist on-set.

The Need for Nourishment

–        After working closely with models on the set of photo shoots, Laura noticed that some models had extremely dehydrated and damaged skin, which was the result of being under the bright lights. These conditions made it very challenging to achieve a flawless canvas.

The Solution

–        She created Infusion de Rose Nourishing Oil and Infusion de Rose Nourishing Crème, a dynamic combination designed to repair, hydrate and restore balance to the skin.

Look by Celebrity Groomer Bridget Brager for RéVive

Groomer Bridget Brager created a “classic Hollywood leading man” look for Chris Pratt, who was a presenter at the 72^ndAnnual Golden Globe Awards. She shared, “his suit and bow tie pointed me in this direction!”

TRIM

“I started by giving Chris a fresh, new trim. I used my clippers to freshen up his facial hair.”

MOISTURIZE

“On clean dry skin, I layered RèVive Intensitè Line Erasing Serum Advanced Wrinkle Corrector, ($600) all over the face. Once product was set and dry, I massaged RèVive Moisturizing Renewal Cream Retexturizing Hydrator, ($195) into his face and neck.”

PRE-EVENT SKINCARE TIPS

“One thing that has countless benefits for the skin and is a must-do before a red carpet event is drinking a substantial amount of water. It’s a magical trick that helps to rejuvenate the skin. Another way to prepare for a red carpet event is find a fantastic moisturizer that really penetrates the skin. This helps to create a radiant glow – for both men and women.

My clients’ go-to products are RèVive Intensitè Line Erasing Serum Advanced Wrinkle Corrector, ($600) and RèVive Moisturizing Renewal Cream Retexturizing Hydrator, ($195). Both work to plump the skin and soften lines and wrinkles – making for a healthy youthful appearance.

If a client wants to e clean-shaven for an event, I always have them shave hours before I arrive. This way, the skin has ample time to calm down and redness or blotchiness that may occur has time to dissipate.”

Liev Schreiber

72^nd Annual Golden Globe Awards

January 11, 2015

Look by Mary Wiles for RéVive

Groomer Mary Wiles created a “healthy, glowing” look for Liev Schreiber, who was a nominee at the 72^nd Annual Golden Globe Awards in the Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series – Drama category for the Showtime series, “Ray Donovan.”

Below please find a breakdown of the 20-minute skincare and grooming regimen Mary undertook to get Liev ready for the evening, as well as her tips for how your readers can create a red carpet-worthy glow at home.

CLEANSE

“Before anything, I thoroughly cleansed and toned Liev’s skin. Moisturizers and serums absorb best on well-cleansed skin.”

MOISTURIZE

“A man’s skin looks its best when it’s properly moisturized. Therefore, I applied RèVive Moisturizing Renewal Cream Retexturizing Hydrator, ($195) – massaging it deep into the skin. This helps brings blood and oxygen to the surface and invigorates the skin, helping to expose its natural flush.”

EYES

“I always apply eye serum, regardless of my client’s age. I applied RèVive Intensitè Volumizing Eye Serum Targeted Skin Filler, ($350) around Liev’s eyes.”

LIPS

“I applied Lucas’ Papaw Ointment, ($15.99) to his lips to soften any dry patches.”

PRE-EVENT SKINCARE TIPS

“Preparation is key leading up to a red carpet event. Far in advance, I’d recommend exfoliating the skin to slough off dead skin cells, which minimizes fine lines and imperfections to reveal glowing skin. It also allows moisturizer to work at its optimum level.

I recommend using a moisturizer with glycolic acid, which both exfoliates and deeply moisturizes. RèVive Moisturizing Renewal Cream Retexturizing Hydrator, ($195) is my go-to product. I also recommend using a serum, such as RèVive Defensif Renewal Serum Daily Antioxidant Infusion, ($210), to help improve the skin’s texture and tone.

In general, most men in Hollywood do take good care of their skin. They like to keep their skincare routine simple, yet effective. Serums and moisturizers are at the top of their list. I love to use RèVive Moisturizing Renewal Cream Retexturizing Hydrator, ($195) and RèVive Intensitè Line Erasing Serum Advanced Wrinkle Corrector, ($600) on my clients.”
