Kevyn Aucoin, the worlds master makeup artist, searched the world over for the past 20 years in order to bring women, like yourself, as well as his celebrity clients, The Sensual Skin Enhancer.  Kevyn created The Sensual Skin Enhancer to replicate the look of healthy, radiant, dewy skin. This was his favorite product to create a natural, youthful glow on all of his celebrity clients. Our long lasting formula can be used on every skin type in many ways to achieve your desired coverage, while allowing your natural skin to show through.

While on a trip to Japan with one of his clients, Kevyn was enthralled by the radiant, flawless skin of the Geisha.  His never ending curiosity of what makes people beautiful, led him to inquire about the products they used to achieve their dewy, radiant complexion.  He then sought out and worked closely with the same chemists who created their products. This resulted in the creation of The Sensual Skin Enhancer.

Available in 16 shades, this long lasting formula provides medium to full coverage and blends seamlessly into the skin. This product is very unique and may be used with a touch of powder as an alternative to an allover foundation or as a spot concealer to conceal imperfections or to lighten target areas.

Mineral Oil (Paraffinum Liquidum), Polybutene, Diethylhexyl Succinate, Polyethylene, Quaternium 18 Hectorite, Calcium Carbonate, Dextrin Palmitate, Honey, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil (Jojoba), Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Beeswax (Apis Mellifera), Butylene Glycol, Cholesterol, Lecithin, Talc, Triethylhexanoin, Methylparaben, Fragrance (Parfum) (parfum), May Contain (+/-): Iron Oxides (CI 77491, 77492, 77499), Mica, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891)

  1. Apply sparingly (a pin sized amount) with your fingertip or concealer brush on top of freshly moisturized or primed skin (Try our Sensual Skin Primer designed specifically to work with our product.) If you tend to have more oil in your skin, skip the primer or moisturizer.
  2. Blend, blend, blend into the skin using either your fingertips or a sponge. The more you blend the more seamless it becomes. The warmth in your fingertips will break down the product and set it into the skin. The product will become transfer resistant and emulate the appearance of healthy skin. Because of its concentration, the Sensual Skin Enhancer is unlike any other formula. Once you learn to use it, you can get rid of all other foundation products.  You can wear it as sheer or as heavy as you prefer.

Additional Tips and Techniques:

  • As a highlighting foundation ~ This was Kevyn's favorite way to use this product. Choose a shade lighter than your actual skin tone and apply it to the areas of the face where light naturally occurs to create an instant highlight. These places are: the brow bone, center of eyelid, center of the forehead, and down the bridge of the nose, cheekbone plane and under the eye, around the corners of the mouth, center of chin up under the lip. Refer to Kevyn's book "Making Faces" page 24 for a full visual illustration of this. 
  • As a concealer  - Use our Concealer Brush  (which will allow for the proper application of this product, because of its precision tip ) and dot sparingly over areas that need to be covered. Make sure that you blend well (your fingers are great tools for this!). You can build with this product if you want more coverage.
  • As an all-over foundation, here a few different application techniques:
    • After moisturizing or priming your skin, use your fingers to blend the product into the skin. How much product you use will determine how opaque or sheer you want your look to be, remembering again that the product is very concentrated. Start sparingly and build coverage as needed.
    • Using a dampened sponge, apply the product to your face and blend (this application will be sheerer than using your fingers).
  • With both applications 1 and 2, the product will set itself in about five minutes. If you want more of a matte look, apply translucent powder after 5 minutes. Try our Gossamer Loose Powder.
  • Mix the product with your moisturizer or our Sensual Skin Primer on the back of your hand to make a tinted moisturizer effect. (This is the smoothest and sheerest application.) Try using our Contour Brush for an easy, smooth application.

        I found this makeup 6 years ago. I am the Queen of undereye concealers and have owned/tried all versions ever made! But this one is the all time best ever.
        It is highly concentrated. Just a dab on the end of your ring finder and then warm that dab by rubbing the tip of your two ring fingers together. Lightly dab under each eye with those findertips and along those nasal labial lines. (That's the deep crevice from the side of your nose to the sides of your mouth.) Blend and Viola !!!

          I bought this hoping it was as great as the reviews. It did not blend well, looked funny, had a greenish tint to the color. Even if I really rubbed just a dot into my skin, it stood out and never looked natural. Save your money. I think the Revlon One Step Cream to Powder is Sooooo Much better and its like $10.00 seriously, this is overpriced because of the name. And not to brag, but I have beautiful skin, clear, nice even complexion, not oily not dry.... if it cant work well on my skin, its not going to look great on your skin

            SX04 is a perfect MAC NC20 in my opinion. I did A LOT of research on review sites trying to determine the right shade for me. Beauty.com has the color match guarantee on this item. So there is no risk.
            Everybody talks about how you only need the TINIEST amount. I was skeptical. Its true though!
            Will be a lifelong devotee for sure. So pleased.
            This product is amazing!

              The tiniest speck of this product is enough. It is quite easy to overdo your application if you try to use it as a conventional concealer. I am very fair with freckles and auburn hair and use number 4 which is perfect for me.

              Comments about Kevyn Aucoin The Sensual Skin Enhancer, SX 04, .63 oz:

              Love love love this product!!! You really only need the tiniest amount. It looks like a small pot for the price, but it seriously lasts FOREVER! Sometimes I will just use it under my eyes after I've applied a mineral foundation I got from MAC. If I want more coverage or flawless skin, then I will use, as is, for under eye concealer. Also for foundation, I will make sure my skin moisturized, then mix a tiny amount with a little more of my moisturizer and apply. It takes a little getting used to in order to determine how much coverage you want, but is the best stuff I've ever used, and I've tried them all. I also like the primer, but don't like the finishing powder because I prefer more of a dewy finish.
