You ve got to have primer. Smashbox is the mothership of primers, Heather says. Dr. Elizabeth Whitaker Elizabeth is not really into makeup and leans toward a more conservative look. With that in mind, Rosie wanted to keep things low-key while accentuating her model s smile. I m all about lips, Rosie says. So I wanted to go for something that wasn t red, but still added that pop of color. There are actually four shades on there. We have a mauve, a brown, a hot pink, and a wine color. Different color liners can totally change your lip color, Rosie says. bestselfatlanta.com BEST SELF ATLANTA APRIL / MAY 2018 37
