re: Anybody else notice that there’s suddenly a lot more LLOTOT lately?

AK?

She’s wearing nothing that I can tell.

A little undereye concealer and mascara would make her even more beautiful.

As Bella says, she probably spends a fortune on skin care

No she uses stuff to control the curl in her hair. Or to enhance it. I’m a makeup girl so I have no problem with anything she does.

I wear a lot of makeup because I need it. She’s does not.

Apparently, Ms. Keys had a lot more going on than rollin'outta bed...

From Glamour:


So last night, when a little birdie alerted us to the fact Keys actually was wearing makeup to host the 2019 Grammys, we rang up Dotti immediately to find out how to do your makeup so convincingly that it tricks hundreds of journalists to report you're not wearing any.

Unsurprisingly, it's all about skin care prep. "We do quite a bit of prep before we even get to makeup—moisturizer, jade roller, and massage," Dotti tells Glamour. "Prepping is the most important thing. You can put any makeup on top, but it's about the quality of the skin you put it on that'll really make it look great." To get to that place, she says, Keys does a lot of the things you don't find at a bathroom sink, like lasers and facials (sorry), but she does have a solid trick you can use to make the most of your skin care products. It's all about layering. "I start with a light serum and moisturizer, just to keep the skin quality lush but not weighed down, and for each one, I roll it in with the jade roller, then do another layer," she says.


The same trick goes for making foundation look virtually undetectable—yes, even drugstore formulas. "I like to break down foundation by mixing it with face oil until it literally becomes translucent," says Dotti, who used Burt's Bees Full Coverage Liquid Makeup in Walnut and Deep Maple mixed with the brand's Complete Nourishment Facial Oil on Keys at the Grammys.

Then, just the way Dotti layers skin care, she does the same with base makeup. She first presses foundation in with a big buffing brush (Rae Morris brushes are her favorite) or Beautyblender, then she rolls it with a jade roller. Next comes another layer of makeup, followed again by jade rolling. "It helps makeup sink into your skin for a more natural glow," she says. "I think makeup looks best an hour or two after it's settled onto your face—this does that instantly. You'll get makeup on your roller, sure, but that's fine. It actually helps remove any excess." As for the type of roller she recommends? Dotti got hers 10 years ago and doesn't remember the brand, but she says investing in real jade (like one from Ling Skincare) is worth it.


And because we're sure your group chat probably read something like ours, you're right: Nobody's chest looks that radiant naturally. Dotti used a self-tanning mitt to rub on Sol de Janeiro Copacabana Bronze Glow Oil (which is basically a shimmery body lotion) in all the places that naturally catch light. "I always use a mitten to put on body makeup," she says. "It's easy, there are no finger marks, and it goes on super even."

All that you said is true

No, but I have noticed a lot more AWCTOFW and for some reason TEECUWTFTAS.

Thanks for posting!

Nope, just a healthy skepticism of the no-makeup look (having watched my wife spend an hour creating it many times) and a moderate amount of Google-Fu.
