Walking the red carpet at the Toronto International Film Festival this weekend for the premiere of her new film, The Debut, Julianne Moore looked stunning, and her makeup artist Gita Bass had some high-tech skin prep in her pocket in the form of CurrentBody’s newly launched Series 3 LED Red Light Therapy Face Mask ($570).
The Series 3 is CurrentBody’s third-generation LED face mask, following the original 2019 device and the Series 2, which launched in 2024. The new version packs 750 individual LEDs across six clinically tested wavelengths—red, near-infrared, deep near-infrared, blue, yellow and green—each targeting a different concern, from fine lines and firmness to redness, tone and blemishes.
Bass used the mask as the first step in Moore’s prep for the carpet, where the actress wore a black tasseled Bottega Veneta gown with slicked-back hair. “To prep the skin for the ultimate red carpet radiance, I started with the CurrentBody LED Light Therapy Mask Series 3,” Bass shares. “I customized the setting combining red and deep near-infrared lights to help smooth fine lines, brighten and plump up the skin.”
That customization is possible through MyDose, a new companion app that ships with the Series 3 and represents the biggest change from earlier CurrentBody masks. Rather than running a single fixed program across the whole face, MyDose lets users map different wavelengths to different zones—pairing an acne-clearing wavelength over a breakout on the forehead with deep near-infrared under the eyes in the same session, for example—and save the combination for repeat use. For a makeup artist like Bass, the app turns one device into a customizable treatment for each face she works on, rather than a single generic setting.
With her skin prepped, Bass moved into skin care, applying a hydrating mist followed by Augustinus Bader’s The Elixir ($550) and The Rich Cream ($315) waiting roughly a minute between steps to let each product absorb, then finishing with an eye cream applied with a metal roller to cool and depuff.
For makeup, Bass used Armani Beauty’s Luminous Silk Natural Glow Blurring Liquid Foundation ($69) blended with a damp sponge, concealer where needed, and a light bronzer and blush. Eyes were lined in black with the YSL Couture Eye Palette in Nude Hours ($88) for soft definition and a few coats of black mascara. Lips were lined with Charlotte Tilbury’s Lip Cheat Waterproof Lip Liner in Pillow Talk Fair ($28) and filled in with Le Rouge Français’s Rouge Tinctorial Lipstick in 036 Nude Arzica ($49), a petal-pink nude Bass chose to complement Moore’s fair, cool-toned complexion.
“We wanted the makeup to be minimal, fresh and dewy for a lit-from-within glow against the black,” Bass says.
