As for the secret to not looking overly “made up,” Ray tells us “the key to flawless makeup is blending.” Although Ray remained coy when dropping deets on his go-to beauty products, he did dish on her polished DNC look.
“For her DNC speech I was going for a super polished and semi glam look,” he revealed. “I definitely wanted her speech to be the highlight and not distracted by her appearance.”
“Nothing too glam but definitely wanted her to be a vision of health, beauty and confidence without taking away from her message and speech. It’s a fine line.”
As for how you can make Obama’s look your won this summer, Ray advises makeup lovers to keep their look “weather appropriate.”
“I like to keep makeup on my clients weather appropriate — lighter oil free sheer products — lots of SPF.”
Also reach for a “waterproof mascara and makeup holding spray,” said Ray. In case you were wondering whether Obama has ever broken these cosmetic commandments, Ray revealed “FLOTUS doesn’t break the rules that’s what I’m here for… Lol.”
Aside from maintaining the First Lady’s fresh look, Ray revealed he a Jack of Trades. “I have a thriving bridal makeup business. I love weddings. It’s such a special day with love being the focus.”
