I recently teamed up with Jay Manuel to review his new ‘Find Your Filter’ Collection. Immediately I was obsessed. A collection that could actually give you the “pretty snapchat filter” (…we all know what I’m talking about) look IN. REAL. LIFE?! Um, count me in!
Jay Manuel Beauty’s Filter Finish Collection was formulated with innovative beauty technology that mimics the photo-perfect finish of a digital filter on your face, so the world can see you the way want all the time! Too good to be true? I thought so too, until I tried it this morning! Continue reading to find out what I used to create my filter finished look and see the final look!
The new collection focuses on 3 main “filters”: Soft Focus, Illuminated, and Starburst.
The Soft Focus filter enhances your natural beauty with minimal time and application needed. With just a simple swipe of diamond dust-infused Powder to Cream Foundation and a little airbrush from the Photo Illusion Concealer, you can erase imperfections and create an effortless natural look. Use the two sponges to apply your foundation and concealer and you’ll be #FilterFinished in no time.
If you’re looking for a filter that does more than just enhance your natural beauty, look no further than the Illuminated filter. The process is as simple as cultivating your Soft Focus filter yet takes the next step with the luminescent Skin Face Lift. Ultra-fine crushed gemstone powders lend a flattering glow to your face, and all you need is a light dusting to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and keep your skin looking radiant from desk to drinks.
The ultimate sun-kissed look is all yours with the Sunburst filter. Round out the #FilterFinishCrew with a bronzer that will give any skin tone an all-over glow. Combining crushed pearlized minerals for 3D luminosity and finely milled iron Oxides and sheer pigments with a satin shimmer, this bronzer lets you contour like a pro and showcase your best features while de-emphasizing your imperfections.
