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.

Made in Japan

Kevyn Aucoin Beauty, Inc.

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.

    Comments about Kevyn Aucoin The Sensual Skin Enhancer, SX 01, .63 oz:

    I have the most chaotic skin ever. My "t-zone" is actually extremely dry, but every other part of my face is extremely oily. I have moderate acne, and fine lines around my eyes and on my forehead. I know, it sounds like I'm a monster or something. This makeup provides perfect coverage for literally every part of my face. There are not enough positive things that I can say; I will seriously never use anything else again. The makeup is extremely dense. I just checked my last order, and this one little tub actually lasts me for exactly one year. If you're balking at the price, remember that [$] for a year's worth of makeup is actually a really great value.I use it with an Hourglass Veil Primer (it also works alright with an Oil of Olay moisturizer). Because it is so dense, you only need a pea-sized amount to cover your whole face as a foundation. You can adjust how thick it goes on. If you mix it with the primer or moisturizer on the back of your hand first, it will go on very sheer. If you apply the primer/moisturizer to your face first, you can layer the makeup over it ranging from moderate to full coverage. After I have it applied as a base layer, I use it again as a concealer and layer it on over trouble spots (acne, discoloration, even dry skin patches). I dust a light amount of powder over my whole face with a brush, then press powder over the trouble spots I "concealed". It is absolutely perfect. If you are considering buying it, GO FOR IT. I'm not sure why someone said they wouldn't recommend it for acne-prone skin. It in no way has made my acne worse or more severe, and it provides the best cover-up for acne I have ever seen. No matter how thickly you apply it, it never has that cake-y look that most full-coverage makeups have. It blends in so well with my natural skin that it seriously looks like magic.

      I use this as a concealer on trouble spots. I bought this several years ago and I am just now buying the replacement. This is a very high quality product and is worth the purchase price when you consider the coverage and amount of time you get out of it. You will love it!

      This is my new best friend! It is so seamless and feels like silk. I'm glad that I read all the info on the Beauty.com site before attempting to use this product. I would never have believed how little it takes to do your whole face. I have so many allergic reactions, but the Skin Enhancer has bonded with me beautifully.

      Comments about Kevyn Aucoin The Sensual Skin Enhancer, SX 01, .63 oz:

      This product, although it looks like a very pale yellow-beige in the pot, goes on leaving a chalky-white appearance. It might be because the product contains titanium dioxide. I have very white skin and have never before experienced a product being too white for me, but this one was. It is also full of oils so I would say absolutely do not use this product if you have oily, acne-prone skin.

      Comments about Kevyn Aucoin The Sensual Skin Enhancer, SX 01, .63 oz:

      This stuff is the greatest for covering under eye circles, believe me I have tried everything. You use only a very small amount so it lasts a long time. It also works well on blemishes and has never caused my skin to clog up or break out.

      Comments about Kevyn Aucoin The Sensual Skin Enhancer, SX 01, .63 oz:

      I have the hardest time finding makeup that is light enough for my pale, freckled skin. Also, I have trouble finding something I don't have to use all over my face. This is the answer! I love it. If I DO want to make it into foundation, I just mix it with moisturizer. This is like concealer and foundation all in one!

      Comments about Kevyn Aucoin The Sensual Skin Enhancer, SX 01, .63 oz:

      I am fair complexioned with rosacea. I used this product today (1/8/05) for a special event, and I must say it covered my skin completely and flawlessly. I recommend using it very sparingly. I used a foundation brush. However, a wet sponge works just as well.
