The Moisturizer I've Been Using on EVERY Client

Embryolisse Lait Crème Concentre

I wish more people knew about this product- I mean, legendary makeup artist, Pat McGrath uses it. It's one of those beauty HG's that are super popular in the industry and for those into Parisian skincare, but outside of those groups, no one really knows about it. I was actually introduced to this moisturizer while I was in makeup school (it came in our student kits!)- and for good reason too: 

It's safe.

Safe? I'll explain in a bit. 

Here's what Embryolisse claims:

The description I 100% agree with. You can find this cream in a ton of makeup artists' kits as well as celebrities' skincare routine. So if everyone loves it, why did I use the word safe to describe it? If I use a cosmetic product on everybody I work with, shouldn't it be amazing- or astounding - or even unrivaled? I could maybe use those words- but then I wouldn't be completely honest.

I used the word safe, because I never have to worry when I use it. I don't have to worry about anyone breaking out. I don't have to worry about whether this cream will actually be enough for those with super dry skin. I don't have to worry about anyone who is sensitive to fragrance and oil. I don't have to worry about the cream causing my foundations to separate on top of the cream or when I mix the two together. If I forget to bring a makeup wipe to set with and did an oopsie doing a winged liner (I'm human, okay?), I don't have to worry about models getting their eyes irritated when I grab a q-tip and Embryollise for clean-up. Lastly, it's pretty much one of the only skincare steps I keep in my kit! I can use just this one tube as an eye cream, body cream, etc. and it works for everything! Definitely keeps my kit light and compact!
Even though I have a ton of other moisturizers, I just stick to this stuff on my clients! Because it's safe! (Get the picture yet?) If you haven't tried this cream, try it! It's such a multipurpose beauty product that truly can work for anybody.
