Carrie Barber's Routine

The first thing you should know about me is that I love product. Though I am somewhat of a product junkie, I like to keep my daily routine dialed in, since I don’t usually have the time to indulge in an extensive skincare regimen. I also believe in using multi-hyphenate products that deliver a range of benefits, so that you can do less, without sacrificing results.

Below is my daily routine, morning and night. I will add certain serums or treatments based on what my skin needs.


Cleansing: I only wash my face in the morning if I’ve put on an overnight treatment or retinol, otherwise, just cold water. When I do wash my face, I use the Succulent Skin Skin Wash because it doesn’t dry out my skin and I am really into the velvety foaming texture that develops when emulsified with water. At night, I remove my makeup and grime from the day with Pre-Cleanse Fluid, followed by Succulent Skin Wash for the real cleansing of the day. I just learned from Susan Yara that you should slowly count to 10 while washing your face, so that your cleanser has time to do its job.



Treatments: I use our new Micro-Crystalline Face Polish a few times a week, before I get into the shower. My esthetician recommends exfoliating in the morning because it wakes your skin up and provides brightening all day.



Skin Prep: Before I start my skincare, I prep my skin with the Micro Ferment Rice Essence. I love the texture of this essence -- it’s creamy and soft, hydrating and brightening, and helps the skincare that follows, penetrate deeper into the surface. A few nights a week, I will sometimes swap Rice Essence for Acid Phase, when I need a bit of extra exfoliation and balance for skin.



Skincare routine: Next, I use our new Lactonic Skin Serum. This is a powerhouse serum, formulated with Ascorbyl Glucoside, a highly stable vitamin C derivative, that delivers the same benefits as traditional vitamin C, without irritation. It’s also formulated with vegan lactic acid, which is one of my favorite skincare ingredients because it resurfaces skin while hydrating, which is perfect for my dry/acne prone skin. I cannot live without this formula - it delivers tons of benefits, without any irritation. Plus it smells great and is so creamy.



Rich creams are my desert island skincare item. If you can’t tell by now, I am all about texture and nothing does it for me like a rich cream. Super Cell is a deep moisturizing cream formulated with Orchid Plant Stem Cells, to improve communication between your skin cells and help with elasticity and firming. The natural emollient in Super Cell comes from fermented sugar cane, which allows the hydrating molecules to penetrate deeper into skin, leaving skin hydrated longer. I love this cream because it provides long lasting hydration and has a beautiful sheen to it, which wears well under makeup.



I always top off this skincare routine with Serum Balm and SPF during the day… and that's it! Please DM me (@carrie_barber) if you have any questions or need product recommendations. I love chatting about skincare!

    How to Prep Under Eyes for Seamless Concealer Application

    Elevate your makeup game and achieve a flawless under-eye with our expert tips for mastering the art of concealer application. From selecting the perfect concealer shade to blending techniques for a natural-looking, radiant finish, these valuable insights from professional makeup artists will help you achieve a flawless complexion. Take your skincare and makeup skills to the next level and achieve a seamless, radiant under-eye with MAKE’s Orbital Eye Balm, Skin Mimetic Concealer and Diffusion Set Translucent Setting Powder.


    Choosing the Perfect Shade:

    The first step in achieving a radiant, smooth under-eye is selecting the right concealer shade. Your perfect concealer shade will effectively camouflage dark circles, discoloration, and imperfections without drawing attention to the concealer itself. MAKE’s Skin Mimetic Concealer is available in 20 unique shades so that you can find the perfect shade to mimic the look of your skin or brighten your under eyes. To ensure a seamless blend, opt for a shade that matches your skin tone or a shade that is slightly lighter for a brightening effect. Take the time to swatch and test different shades on your jawline or inner wrist for your closest match. Remember, a smooth transition between your natural skin tone and concealer is the key to a natural-looking under-eye.


    Prepping the Under-Eye Area:

    The key to expertly applying concealer starts with preparing the under-eye skin properly. Start by applying MAKE’s Orbital Eye Balm, our soothing eye treatment that delivers long-lasting moisture for a smooth canvas for concealer. Allow enough time for the eye balm to properly sink, ensuring a non-slippery surface that also enhances the longevity of your concealer. This step sets the foundation for flawless application, helping concealer blend seamlessly into the skin for a complexion that looks hydrated – never cakey or dry.


    Blending with Expert Precision:

    To achieve a smooth and even under-eye, apply several small swipes of the Skin Mimetic Concealer in your shade of choice away from the inner corners of each eye. Next, apply two more swipes of concealer across the others, forming a crisscross pattern, moving towards the inner corners and downward by applying these additional swipes in the opposite direction. After forming a crisscross pattern with the second layer of concealer, take a brush and blend outward. This technique distributes the product evenly, helping the concealer blend seamlessly into the skin for a natural-looking finish that lasts throughout the day.


    Illuminating the Under-Eyes Area:

    In addition to blending, illuminating the under-eye area is a crucial step for achieving a bright, lit-from-within complexion. The crisscross motion used to achieve a natural-looking, skin-like finish also helps to brighten the under-eye region. By evenly distributing the concealer with this technique and blending upward and outward, you'll achieve a brightening effect in addition to a smooth texture. Incorporate these steps into your routine for a flawless, radiant under-eye area that’s sure to elevate any makeup look.


    Set with Diffusion Set Translucent Pressed Powder:

    Setting your under-eye concealer with powder is a crucial last step to achieving a flawless, long-lasting complexion. To lock product in place and prevent it from creasing, smudging, or settling into fine lines throughout the day, gently press MAKE’s Diffusion Set Translucent Setting Powder where concealer has been applied. Specially formulated with microsphere powders and a mineral complex, this ultra-soft, refillable powder works to enhance the overall performance and longevity of your makeup by absorbing excess oil and smoothing the look of skin for a natural, balanced finish. Ensure your under-eye makeup stays smooth, crease-free, and flawless for hours on end with this weightless formula.

    Concealer is a versatile staple in our beauty bag. When used correctly, it can brighten, correct, and rejuvenate for a lit-from-within, radiant complexion.

    Incorporate these expert tips in your beauty routine to achieve an illuminated, yet natural-looking under-eye and your freshest face yet. By selecting the right concealer shade, preparing the under-eye area with an eye balm, blending with precision using a crisscross motion, and setting your look with translucent setting powder, you'll achieve a seamless, smooth finish that lasts all day. Illuminate your under-eye region and enhance your look with these valuable insights from professional makeup artists.

    Hydrascape Reverse Emulsion for Visibly Glowing, Radiant Skin

    Water-in-oil emulsions are highly beneficial for dry skin due to their ability to deliver nourishing emollients, lock in moisture, and prevent transepidermal water loss.

    Our Hydrascape reverse, water-in-oil emulsion is specially formulated with vegan ceramides, concentrated phytosterols, and fermented aloe to deliver instant, long-lasting hydration for visibly plump, glowing skin.


    Water-in-Oil Emulsion Deep Dive


    What makes reverse, water-in-oil emulsions unique is that water droplets are dispersed throughout oil. When oil touches the skin first, it creates a protective, occlusive barrier for the skin’s outermost layer, aiding in short and long term hydration by preventing water loss and promoting the absorption of nourishing emollients and antioxidants.

    The unique blend of ingredients in Hydrascape work to seal in moisture, support the skin barrier, and deliver instant hydration.

    Vegan ceramides enhance the moisture barrier, fermented aloe topically firms, and resveratrol, a naturally occurring antioxidant, provides protection from environmental stressors to visibly brighten over time.


    How to Use Hydrascape


    Hydrascape should be the last step in your skincare routine, second to last to SPF if worn during the day. Simply dispense a generous amount onto fingertips and smooth evenly onto your face and neck, massaging until absorbed.

    With its potent blend of hydrating, nourishing properties, Hydrascape also wears great under makeup.


    Benefits of Hydrascape


    • - Provides long-lasting hydration without feeling heavy or sticky

    • - Instantly plumps and brightens complexion leaving it soft and glowing

    • - Supports skin's moisture barrier and reduces the look of fine lines and wrinkles

    Hydrascape is perfect for those who suffer from dry, dehydrated skin, as it provides deep hydration that lasts all day. Firming fermented aloe and brightening resveratrol also make Hydrascape beneficial for aging skin, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

    Whether you're dealing with dry skin or want to maintain a youthful, radiant complexion, Hydrascape is a must-have. Its unique formulation, ease of use, and host of skin-loving ingredients make it an essential step in any skincare routine.
