00:03 Today on Fresh Face we'll meet Dubi.
00:06 She struggles with oily skin throughout the summer, and wants a polished,
00:11 professional makeover to start her new job with confidence.
00:15 Hi Dubi.
00:16 >> Hi doctor, how are you.
00:17 >> [CROSSTALK] Nice to meet you Dubi.
00:18 What brings you in today?
00:19 >> One of the things I've noticed is that,
00:22 my face tends to be overly oily in the summertime.
00:24 >> Okay, and is it shiny when you wake up or throughout the course of the day.
00:27 >> I think throughout the course of the day it gets shinier.
00:30 >> Gotcha.
00:31 Oiliness has to do with sebum that your body produces.
00:35 So there are little glands called sebaceous glands,
00:38 underneath the top layer of skin, and
00:39 they produce natural oils that protect your skin from chapping and dryness.
00:42 If there's a lot of it produced, you can get a shiny or oily complexion.
00:46 >> Mm-hm. >> For
00:46 that, I love using something in the retinoid family, so
00:50 this is an example of a retinoid that you would use before bed, and
00:53 also has the added benefit of reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
00:57 Option two, is a glycollic acid pad, that's over the counter that you can use
01:02 two to three times in the course of the day, and
01:04 has lactic acid to help mitigate some of that greaseiness.
01:08 So both of those, depending up how irritated your face gets,
01:11 and how well the oil's controlled, those are both potential options for us.
01:15 Okay? [MUSIC] >> Thank you.
01:19 >> Hi Dobie how are you?
01:20 I'm Carrie nice to meet you.
01:21 >> Hi Carrie nice to meet you too.
01:23 >> So, tell me a little bit about the look that you want for today?
01:25 Like what's going on in your life that we need a new makeup look?
01:29 >> I'm actually starting a new job.
01:31 >> Oh, congratulations, fabulous.
01:32 >> Thank you. >> Let me ask you this,
01:34 how long do you spend doing your makeup in the morning?
01:36 >> Well, let's put it this way.
01:38 I'm do my make up on the bus.
01:40 >> [LAUGH] Oh, make up on the bus.
01:42 Okay, I wanna give you a few products and maximum result.
01:46 >> That's cool.
01:46 >> Awesome.
01:47 I wanna use, actually like a deep lilac okay?
01:51 >> Mm-hm.
01:52 >> I loaded up this brush nice and big.
01:54 Tap off the extra.
01:56 And you can sweep back and forth, you know.
01:59 I usually tell people count to ten, and then you're perfectly blended.
02:02 Okay.
02:04 On the bus makeup, here we have it.
02:05 [LAUGH] I'm gonna do a little bit of mascara.
02:08 Neat trick, if you want that department store, runway look.
02:12 Buy one lengthening, one thickening.
02:14 >> Mm-hm. >> And do one coat of one of them.
02:15 And then do another coat of the other.
02:17 The mixed formulas combined with the mixed brushes, is gonna go weee to your lashes.
02:23 [MUSIC]
02:27 This is a long wearing mauve, lipstick gloss in one.
02:33 >> Mm-hm.
02:33 >> It's gonna pull the look all together, okay?
02:37 >> Okay.
02:38 >> Now, I'm just gonna take a little bit of pressed powder, and
02:42 you can kind of just hit it where you wanna hit it.
02:45 Okay.
02:46 >> Okay.
02:46 >> How do you feel?
