Here are some of our top picks from the Gee Beauty line
First Skin — $58.00
Her unofficial signature product, but perhaps the most well-known and revered item in the line (and a favorite of Kim Cattrall’s), is this hybrid skin tint with a subtle shimmer. Known as “no-makeup-makeup,” the product offers sheer coverage and, when applied, leaves skin with a smooth, blurred, and natural finish. This lightweight, breathable, and easy-to-use skin dye has flexible color technology that adapts and warms to your skin tone, so while it’s only available in seven shades, it can be worn by a multitude of skin tones. .
“This is my foundation spot Monday through Friday,” says Natalie. “I use shade 5 and apply three pumps for long-lasting yet lightweight coverage. On the weekends I mix Prime Skin with my favorite moisturizer and apply about two applications for a clearer, more natural look. When I want an even bigger glow, I add an application of our Liquid Glow Liquid Illuminating Fluid.”
Liquid Glow — $36.00
Liquid Glow is one of my favorites because it is a versatile product that adds a luminous, dewy glow to the skin, perfect for highlighting and enhancing the natural glow of the face. It can be worn alone or mixed with their exclusive Prime Skin Tinted Multi-Primer, and the brand is about to launch a new shade called 02 that will have a more bronze-like glow, compared to 01, which is more golden.
Illuminating Concealer — $38.00
Touted as a multi-purpose brightener and moisturizer, this concealer improves skin’s texture and leaves it looking radiant. In terms of texture, it’s creamy and provides medium to long-wear coverage, and it’s available in seven illuminating shades.
“My daily visit,” says Natalie. “Very illuminating, light and buildable. The wand allows for a precise application and blends very well with our Blender Brush.” Meanwhile, Miriam loves to mix Liquid Glow with a brightening concealer. “I apply it under my eyes, on my cheekbones, and over my lip area to give my skin a soft, subtle, luminous glow,” she says.
Color bars — $34.00
Gee Beauty Color Sticks come in eight shades and are an assortment of blush and contour colors that double as eye and lip colors. Creamy and smooth, they are some of my favorite Gee Beauty products. I am impressed by both the ease of application and the way they blend, not to mention how long-lasting they are. Her two most popular colors are Richbeam and Blushbeam: “Our Deep Contour Color Stick (in Richbeam) gives incredible definition and smoothes and blends seamlessly with a multitude of skin tones,” says Natalie. And, “(Blushbeam is) the perfect stick blush that you can use on your cheeks, lips, and eyes,” she adds.
Warm Glow Baked Bronzing Powder — $38.00
“A light peach bronzing powder that you can also use as an eyeshadow,” says Natalie, this easy-to-apply baked bronzer is super lightweight and has a subtle, pearl-like silky finish.
The Multiple Mascara — $32.00
A clean mascara that provides buildable wear throughout the day and six different results: “Length, curl, lift, define, separate and volumize,” says Natalie.
Creamy Lip Definer Pencil — $26.00
Unlike your typical lipstick, this 12-shade lip liner collection is smooth, blendable, and won’t smudge for up to seven hours. “Our lip liners are beautiful gel pencils that are creamy, long-wearing, and super nourishing. Major is the perfect deep pink nude,” says Natalie. She finishes the look with a Gee Beauty lipstick, gloss or lip mask.
Rosa Lip Mask — $30.00
A favorite of Gee women and seen in many of their GRWM videos on social media, Rose Lip Mask is perfect alone or over liner and/or your favorite Gee Beauty lip color. She not only softens and hydrates, but melts from a creamy balm to a silky oil that gives your lips that extra oomph.
“I really focus on my lips, they have always been a favorite feature and for me it really shows glam and hydration,” says Miriam. “It’s old school for me since I was a makeup artist on set. If the lips were done, the look was there.”
