The Skin:
Marjorie’s personal make-up artist, Courtney Gower, says that when it comes to summertime make-up the focus should be on the skin: “You want to look like you’re glowing! I use a mixture of foundations to build out Marjorie’s radiance. Also, a beauty blender is key. It helps control the amount so that you can layer in the foundation for a flawless finish”

Prime the face with a deeply moisturizing misting oil, like (4.) Pixi By Petra Beauty Glow Mist ($15) Courtney says this is the key secret to mastering the radiance: “You can also seal the look with a tiny spritz at the end.”

The Hair:
Marjorie’s hair stylist, Dawn White, says Marjorie’s new haircut, the long-layered bob, leaves room for major versatility: “The cut comes just above the collar, but it’s lengthier on the sides so there’s still room for styling versatility. You can add a loose wave, curls, or style perfectly straight.”
