Sensual Skin for us sensible people
If you were to walk by a product that promised to enhance your skin in sensual ways, could you turn a cheek?
Be honest.
Ever since Melissa from DeLush told us that she uses Kevyn Aucoin’s Sensual Skin Enhancer to achieve perfect skin (our words, not hers, because she really does have perfect skin) we’ve been dying to try it.
This product was created by makeup artist Kevyn Aucoin to replicate the look of healthy, radiant, dewy skin (which is a look that Kevyn created beautifully on his clients.)
The Sensual Skin Enhance can be a tad tricky, as it is VERY concentrated so you only need a pin sized amount. After you’ve sparingly applied to freshly moisturized skin, use the warmth of your fingertip to blend, blend, blend. And then blend some more.
With 16 shades to choose from, you can use this as a concealer, a highlighting foundation, or an all over foundation. Once this product sets, it isn’t going ANYWHERE, so it’s perfect for a 14 hour work day, or a night out dancing. (We prefer the latter.)
While it’s not cheap, the Sensual Skin Enhancer and the recommended application brush (which has the tiniest tip to prevent users from applying too much product at once) set us back $75 (including tax) but it was totally worth every penny.
[...] 3. Kevyn Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer. This is a wonder product. We use it daily to cover blemishes, freckles and other imperfections and it never ceases to amaze us. We’ve had this for almost two months and the container still looks brand new. [...]

there is no way for me to see the skin enhancer because i live no where near a neiman marcus. is there anyway to figure out what shade one would need? is there anywhere to get samples of this stuff?
