Zoë Kravitz's go-to makeup artist shares her tips on prepping skin, touching up, and creating an enviable rosy smokey eye.

Chanel makeup artist <a href="https://www.ninapark.com/">Nina Park</a> isn&#39;t one to shy away from color. While some might pop open one of <a href="http://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/chanel-metiers-d-art-prefall-2021-chateau">Chanel&#39;s</a> Fall/Winter 2020 <a href="https://www.chanel.com/us/makeup/p/164362/les-4-ombres-multi-effect-quadra-eyeshadow/">eyeshadow palettes</a> and feel intimidated by the saturated pink and red shades, Park argues that the warm tones are actually quite wearable. &quot;The beauty of the pinks and reds are how versatile the colors are, especially when mixed,&quot; says Park.&nbsp;&quot;I love layering the colors until I find the right shade.&quot;

Park&#39;s mastery of layering color&nbsp;and playing with light&mdash;the beauty maven studied painting before moving to New York to pursue makeup artistry&mdash;has made her a go-to among celebs like <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/zoe-kravitz-red-carpet-street-style-evolution">Zo&euml;&nbsp;Kravitz</a>, Brie Larson, and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/10-mini-series-binge-in-a-day-netflix">Laura Harrier</a>.&nbsp;

Here, the in-demand makeup artist shares her must-have products, best beauty tips, and shows L&#39;OFFICIEL&nbsp;how to create a rosy smokey eye using Chanel&#39;s Fall/Winter 2020 collection.

@ninapark

L&#39;OFFICIEL: You have amazing skin&mdash;what are the skincare steps you never skip?

Nina Park: Thank you so much. I never, ever skip exfoliation. I like to do a gentler exfoliation daily, like the <a href="https://www.chanel.com/us/skincare/p/142500/sublimage-la-lotion-supreme-ultimate-skin-regeneration/">CHANEL Sublimage La Lotion Supr&ecirc;me</a> and <a href="https://www.chanel.com/us/skincare/p/141876/uv-essentiel-complete-protection-antioxidant-anti-pollution-sunscreen-broad-spectrum-spf-50/">CHANEL UV Essentiel SPF 50</a>. Even if I&rsquo;m cooped up indoors, I never skip this step.

 
L&#39;O: How do you prep skin moving into the colder months?

NP: I prep by adding back moisture into the skin. I reach for toners, serums and moisturizers that have ultra-moisturizing components. The <a href="https://www.chanel.com/us/skincare/p/143060/hydra-beauty-micro-serum-intense-replenishing-hydration/">CHANEL Hydra Beauty Micro S&eacute;rum </a>is a must for instant moisture.

 
L&#39;O: Who are your biggest beauty inspirations?

NP: My mother! As a child, I would diligently watch her complete 10+ skin care step or apply lipstick. It has shaped me as a woman and makeup artist.&nbsp;

L&#39;O: What are your favorite products in your kit?

NP: Lately, I&rsquo;ve been favoring <a href="https://www.chanel.com/us/makeup/p/185326/les-beiges-sheer-healthy-glow-moisturizing-tint-broad-spectrum-spf-30/">CHANEL Les Beiges Sheer Healthy Glow Moisturizing Tint</a> over others. It&rsquo;s sheer, buildable and easy to use; perfect for now where no one wants to wear a full face of makeup. Other favorites are the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.chanel.com/en_GB/fragrance-beauty/makeup/p/lips/liquid-lipsticks/le-rouge-duo-ultra-tenue-ultra-wear-liquid-lip-colour-p175102.html#">CHANEL Le Rouge Duo Ultra Tenue lip colors</a>. The colors can be worn in so many ways: super saturated,&nbsp;high-shine or subdued and soft. My favorite way to use them is by mixing the gloss and the color together to create a soft wash of color.

&nbsp;

L&#39;O: Are there any beauty trends you love right now?&nbsp;

NP: I guess the one noticeable trend I&rsquo;m loving right now is self-care! People are putting so much time and love into their skin, body, hair, and nails and I&rsquo;m all for it.&nbsp;

 
L&#39;O: Can you walk us through your everyday makeup look?

NP: My everyday makeup look takes less than 5 minutes most days. I&rsquo;ll usually start with a sheer tinted foundation like CHANEL Les Beiges Water-Fresh Tint and blend in with my fingers. I&rsquo;ll go in with spot treating any redness or blemishes with the <a href="https://www.chanel.com/us/makeup/p/170740/le-correcteur-de-chanel-longwear-concealer/">CHANEL Le Correcteur de CHANEL</a>. Next, I fill in my brows with an ashy-brown eyebrow pencil, then&nbsp;curl my lashes with the Surratt lash curler and&nbsp;put on 2-3 coats of <a href="https://www.chanel.com/us/makeup/p/192410/inimitable-waterproof-volume-length-curl-separation/">CHANEL Inimitable Waterproof Mascara</a>. I love using the CHANEL Les Beiges Healthy Glow Sheer Colour Sticks for a hint of blush on the cheeks. I line my lips with CHANEL Le Crayon L&egrave;vres in Rose Naturel and apply CHANEL Les Beiges Healthy Glow Lip Balm in Warm. As a finishing touch, I&rsquo;ll pop a little highlight using <a href="https://www.chanel.com/us/makeup/p/169060/baume-essentiel-multi-use-glow-stick/">CHANEL Baume Essentiel</a> in Sculpting on the tops of my cheeks.&nbsp;

L&#39;O: How do you recommend touching up throughout the day?

NP: I always recommend not powdering too much at the start but instead&nbsp;using blotting papers or anti-shine skincare. Too much powder can make the skin look dry and more aged.

&nbsp;

L&#39;O: How has wearing face masks changed the way you do makeup?&nbsp;

NP: I&rsquo;ve been focusing more on how to accentuate and refine the eyes without adding more products, such as tight-lining the eyes to make them pop. I&rsquo;ve also been taking extra time to really groom and fill in the brows to make them look strong enough to frame a face but soft enough where it doesn&rsquo;t overpower.&nbsp;

 
L&#39;O: What is the best beauty advice that you have ever been given?

NP: Don&rsquo;t sleep with your makeup on.
