Natural, streak-free makeup: the magic of fingers According to Pat McGrath

According to renowned make-up artist Pat McGrath, fingers are the best tools for achieving natural make-up without leaving visible marks. As the world's most influential make-up artist, she regularly applies make-up to top celebrities for major events and prestigious magazine photo shoots.

A more natural foundation:

In an interview with British newspaper The Telegraph on July 27, 2017, she revealed that using her ten fingers was her ultimate trick for creating her signature beauty looks. According to her, using the fingers helps to apply foundation in a way that blends perfectly with the skin, giving an entirely natural result. The warmth of the fingers polishes the product, offering a beautiful, transparent finish that is difficult to achieve with sponges or brushes.

Blushes and lip balms that melt on the skin:

In addition to foundation, fingers are also ideal for other applications, such as creating a "bitten lip" effect. McGrath also recommends their use for seamless application of eyeshadow and blush, as they allow the products to blend harmoniously into the skin, giving a sumptuous, natural result.

Less maintenance :

Unlike brushes, which require regular cleaning, it's impossible to forget to wash your hands. By keeping a washcloth with make-up remover close at hand, you can easily apply make-up at home without having to invest in brushes that require tedious maintenance.

Natural makeup with La Crique :

For La Crique, simple finger make-up is a priority. All our products and formulas have been designed with this in mind, so that everyone can apply make-up with ease, from make-up newbies to make-up experts! Here's a simple ritual to apply with your finger:

• Wash your hands with Marseille soap (because we love it!)
• Pour the Radiance Serum Base onto the face (3-4 drops) and apply with the finger using circular movements.
• Next, apply the Tinted Serum to the face (3-4 drops initially, then build up the coverage), still using your fingertips, to melt the formula into the skin.
• Rinse hands.
• Using your finger, take a small amount of eye shadow and illuminator, and apply it to the mobile eyelid. The texture will melt directly onto the eyelid for a natural, glowy effect.
• Using another finger, take a small amount of lip and cheek balm and apply to lips and as a blush. Modulate coverage according to shade and desire.
• Finally, cherry on the cake, we take the eye shadow and illuminator and apply it to the face in radiant strokes: cheekbone, nostril, lower eyebrow, cupid's bow.
