He thought he was rescuing a sheep—but it turned out to be something else
This bizarre French customer habit is driving shop owners crazy
She’s the mastermind behind some of Hollywood’s most radiant beauty looks and has decided to let us in on her secret for achieving glowing, natural makeup. Hint: it’s an item you already have at home.
Ash K Holm, a celebrity makeup artist known for her signature glow, has made her mark on red carpets and photo shoots for top celebrities. Among her loyal clients are Kim Kardashian, Ariana Grande, Khloé Kardashian, and Camila Cabello. Her hallmark? Focusing on a bright, natural, and well-defined complexion without stacking up too many products. Her trick relies on an ingredient as simple as it is surprising.
According to the expert, perfecting the lips starts with proper preparation. She begins by applying a lip liner that closely matches the skin’s natural tone, slightly emphasizing the Cupid’s bow. Instead of outlining the entire lip, she opts for a subtle contour for a lifted, natural look. But the real game-changer is her fail-safe mixture. Ash K Holm recommends blending a matte cream blush with a small amount of Vaseline. By mixing these on the back of her hand, she creates a silky, tinted balm, perfect for application with fingers or a brush. “This transforms the blush into a softer, moisturizing texture, ideal for a natural effect,” she explains. This trick works equally well on both lips and cheeks.
Furthermore, for a controlled glow, Ash K Holm starts by dabbing this jelly lightly on the high points of the face: cheekbones, temples, and even shoulders. The goal is to provide a natural radiance before layering on a powder highlighter. Thanks to this slightly shiny base, the powder sticks better and creates a long-lasting luminous effect. “This technique is just as suitable for a glamorous event as it is for everyday makeup,” the makeup artist asserts.
Another clever use for Vaseline? Eyebrows. Rather than using a traditional gel, she applies a thin layer to the brows. The result: structured, tamed eyebrows with an added touch of hydration. “Some gels can be too harsh and create patchy areas, whereas this method keeps your eyebrows healthy,” she highlights.
Vaseline alone can elevate everyday makeup to a professional beauty look. Whether it’s hydrating, illuminating, or setting, this staple proves that you don’t always need to spend a fortune for successful makeup. A valuable lesson from Ash K Holm.
