How 3 Stars Prepped Their Skin for Fashion’s Big Night Out

 

This year, Kiehl’s products played a part in prepping the skin of some of our favorite celebrities, including Gabrielle Union, Selena Gomez and Gisele Bündchen. Keep scrolling for a step-by-step guide to recreating their exact skin care routine on fashion’s big night.

Gabrielle Union

Step 1: Apply a Face Mask the Night Before

Union’s skin prep actually began the night before the gala. Makeup expert Mario Dedivanovic advised Union to sleep in Kiehl’s Ginger Leaf & Hibiscus Firming Overnight Mask. The mask is formulated with sustainably-sourced ginger leaf extract and helps deliver smoother-looking skin by morning, which is exactly the result Dedivanovic was looking for.

Step 2: Prime Your Skin

On the big day, Dedivanovic primed Union’s skin with a serum, specifically the Kiehl’s Powerful-Strength Line Reducing Concentrate. The newly-launched formula—with vitamin C and hyaluronic acid—can help visibly reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while improving skin radiance and texture. 

Step 3: Hydrate Your Eye Contour

For the eyes, Dedivanovic turned to Kiehl’s Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado. This moisturizing eye cream— formulated with avocado oil — moisturizes the delicate area without migrating into the eyes.

Step 4: Apply Moisturizer

To hydrate Union’s face and neck skin, Dedivanovic applied the new Kiehl’s Glow Formula Skin Hydrator. The radiance-boosting elixir––formulated with pomegranate extract––instantly illuminates the skin and provides antioxidant protection. What’s more, it can be used three different ways: as an all-over moisturizer, as a tinted moisturizer mixed with your foundation, or as a targeted highlighter over the high points of your face. 

Step 5: Moisturize Your Lips

As a last step, Dedivanovic applied Kiehl’s Lip Balm #1 to hydrate Union’s lips while he began her makeup.

 

Selena Gomez

Step 1: Cleanse Your Skin

To start, Kiehl’s consulting celebrity makeup artist Hung Vanngo cleansed Gomez’s skin with Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cleanser, a gentle liquid formula that cleanses the skin without over-drying.

Step 2: Exfoliate Your Skin

After cleansing, Vanngo then turned to Kiehl’s Facial Fuel Energizing Scrub to exfoliate. This energizing skin buffer––formulated with a natural blend of caffeine, menthol, and vitamin –– sloughs away dead surface skin cells and other impurities from the skin’s surface.

Step 3: Apply a Sheet Mask

Up next: Kiehl’s Instant Renewal Concentrate Sheet Mask. Vanngo left it on Gomez’s skin for 10 minutes, letting it comfortably adhere to her skin for ideal nourishing moisture.

Step 4: Sweep on Toner

Following the mask, Vanngo reached for Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Toner–– a gentle toner that prepares, hydrates, and comforts the skin. The formula helps remove surface debris and remaining residue while hydrating and comforting the skin.

Step 5: Apply an Eye Serum

The next focus was on the eye contour with Kiehl’s Super Multi-Corrective Eye-Opening Serum. Vanngo used this 5-in-1 solution to visibly lift and firm Gomez’s delicate eye area.

Step 6: Moisturize with Face Cream

Vanngo’s daily moisturizer pick was the classic Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream. This 24-hour, light-textured daily hydrator offers continuous moisture and leaves the skin smooth, soft, and healthy-looking. 

Step 7: Moisturize Your Lips

Topping the list once again––read: Gabrielle Union’s final skin care step––is Kiehl’s Lip Balm #1 for the ultimate pout quench.

Gisele Bündchen

Step 1: Cleanse Your Skin

To start, Vanngo cleansed Bündchen’s skin with Kiehl’s Calendula Deep Cleansing Foaming Face Wash, a rich gel formula that gently removes impurities without stripping the skin of its essential moisture. 

Step 2: Exfoliate Your Skin 

Vanngo then used Kiehl’s Pineapple Papaya Facial Scrub to slough away dead skin cells. 

Step 3: Apply a Face Mask

Kiehl’s Calendula & Aloe Soothing Hydration Mask was the face mask of choice for Bündchen’s skin. This lightweight gel mask delivers hydration for a smooth, healthy-looking complexion.

Step 4, 5, & 6: Tone, Apply Eye Cream, and Moisturize—In That Order 

Similar to the final steps in Gomez’s skin prep, Vanngo then applied Kiehl’s Calendula Herbal Extract Alcohol-Free Toner, Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado, Ultra Facial Cream, and Lip Balm #1 to Bündchen’s skin before applying makeup. The final outcome? An ultra-glowy and hydrated complexion!
