Makeup artists apply more than just makeup. Especially over the course of several days using a variety of products and consistently cleansing a model's face, eventually, her skin is bound to dry out.

To pull this off, she mixes a quarter-size serving with a dash of thermal water (her go-to is La Roche Posay) and massage thoroughly.
