Step 1:
Prep and prime your skin with the FF Fabulous Serum to even skin tone and texture and boost radiance. This will help minimize the look of pores while ensuring seamless makeup application.
|
|
Step 2: Dab a thin layer of FF Crème to Powder Skin onto the face for a silky, elegant, second-skin powder finish. The result is a bright, smooth, makeup-ready complexion. |
 |
 |
Step 3:
Apply FF Skinflex Stickwith an applicator sponge for an amazingly lightweight, medium-coverage foundation. Select a shade 1-2 shades lighter than your skin tone and tap onto the high points of the face, and areas you want to brighten, like the cheekbones, eyelids, tip of the nose and across your Cupid’s bow. |
|
Step 4:
Tap and blend FF Set It Loose Powderto set your makeup with a non-cakey, transfer-proof, matte look. This luminizing powder blocks oil, locks in moisture, and gives the skin a soft-focused, filtered effect that doesn’t compromise your skin tone. If you want to keep your glow, only set the center of your face. To highlight your undereye area, set underneath the eyes in a slightly lighter shade. |
|
|
|
Step 5: Instantly set your makeup with the FF Iconic Pressed Powder. When selecting a powder, Sam suggests choosing a shade 1-2 shades darker than your skin tone to set your contour, create dimension and accentuate your angles. |
|
Step 6: Complete the look with FF Iconic Lipstick for a decadent, head-turning pop of color. Sam loves a bright lipstick color for this look, like Rebel or Pure Plum. |

Fashion Fair loved me first!! I started wearing makeup at age 14 and FF was there for me when other brands ignored my existence. Cousin Elaine was so beautiful and FF was her go to. The FF Fashion Shows we looked forward to every year before I relocated to West Africa. I wonder what it would take to bring you here?? I would love to be able to Buy Fashion Fair No. 1 Cologne!! please bring that back. I am mid 50’s now, looking 30-something so I am fired up to see FF relaunch and do the DARN Thing!!
