Confession: I’ve been doing my makeup the same exact way since high school (just… with more concealer). Enter Sarah Chetta, the absolute genius behind the @sonoacademy makeup program, who kindly but firmly showed me that everything I thought I knew about my face was basically… wrong… in the best possible way.
We spent two hours going step by step through my routine, and the transformation was unreal. If you want a major upgrade without falling into a YouTube tutorial black hole, book a private session with her:

And honestly, file this under “best gift idea ever.”
Here’s the honest breakdown of the (very up-close) before and after: Swipe to see –>
• Heavy eyeliner and lip liner? I thought it was my going-out signature. Sarah explained it’s actually harsh and super outdated. Sharp lines shrink the eyes and as we get older, we want to open the eyes, not close them off.
• Contour under the cheekbone?
Guilty. I thought it was a hard and fast rule. Sarah showed me that bronzer and blush, used correctly, actually lift the face. You can literally see the difference.
• Foundation matching:
No more going darker for a “tan.” Turns out that ages us instantly. The right shade makes you brighter, fresher, younger — instantly.
I walked in thinking I needed new products.
I walked out realizing I just needed the right technique. (Okay, and maybe just a few new products🫢🤗🤗)
