Cardi B uses a shaving tool on her face

Cardi B uses a shaving tool on her face before applying makeup.

The 25-year-old rapper uses a Stacked Skincare Dermaplaning tool – which is a high-profile beauty treatment involving using a single blade to remove the hair and dead skin cells from the surface of your skin – in order to smooth out and brighten her skin.

Cardi’s makeup artist Erika La Pearl said: “Prepping your skin before you apply your makeup is vital. It is the first step in achieving that dreamy complexion. To prep Cardi B’s skin, I use . This is used to smooth out and brighten the skin.”

The ‘I Like It’ hitmaker also uses banana eye cream and a primer to fill in pore lines and smooth out her skin before her make-up.

Erika said: “I also use Ole Henriksen’s Banana Bright Eye Cream, C-Rush Brightening Moisturizer and Balance It All Toner.

“Once those are applied, I proceed with the primer. For this, I use Dr Lancer’s Pro Filter Pore Perfecting Primer to fill in the pore lines and give a smooth surface before I apply the foundation.”

When it comes to the singer’s cosmetics regime, the celebrity make-up artist chooses to use products which illuminate the eye area, and peach toned skin products to give Cardi a natural glow.

She said: “I use the EX1 Cosmetics Invisiwear Liquid Foundation in Shade 8.0. For concealer, I like to use the Delete Fluide Concealer in shade 4.0 to illuminate the eye area.

“To give Cardi a natural glow, I sweep the EX1 blusher in “Pretty in Peach” on her cheekbones, and then to complete the look, I use EX1 Cosmetics Invisiwear Compact Powder in shade 6.0 to set the makeup in place.”
