Fall Makeup Must Haves (Oct 01, 2007)
Hi Everyone:Here's your fall makeup must haves...
Fall, and all that's FABULOUS
As much as I love summer, the sun and patios I adore Fall with its
glorious change of colors... rustling leaves, cozy sweaters and a fireplace. And that means...time to change your color palette to reflect your darkened hair tones and the season's fall color trends.
Of course, I have to share with you some of my FABULOUS favorites and a few of my new FAVES...
You know me, the queen of layering lipsticks. I have some terrific new finds for Fall. While reds are really a hot look this season, not everyone can wear them and I'm still a lover of nudes! Especially with a dark, smoky eye - the hottest look for Fall.
The Best Nude Lipsticks
> YSL The Naturals Sheer Lipstick #26
> YSL Pure Shine Sheer Lipstick in Natural Pink
> MAC High Tea
> Chanel Nude Topaz
> Guerlain KissKiss in BeigeNude
And of course Gloss completes your look.
> YSL Golden Gloss #2 and Golden Gloss #10 . These remain current and classic.
> Armani Lip Gloss #21 - this is INSANE over a nude lipstick. This is my own recipe for the perfect nude lip...Armani Silk #16 (as a base), MAC Jubilee on top and finish it off with Armani Gloss #21 - Yikes!!
How to get your lips in shape for Brrr Winter!
(No more chapped lips for Chic Chicks!)
> Shiseido Benefiance Full Correction Lip Treatment
> Dr. Haushka Lip Balm
> Roc Endryial Lip Repair
Silky Smooth Skin with a Glow
Don't let winter ruin your skin and turn you pasty and flaky. Some great products to keep a bit of glow and sheen on your skin have newly arrived on the market.
> Biotherm Summer Source - Daily Radiance Body Lotion (this gives you a gradual progression of color - but it is not a self-tanner)
> Biotherm Summer Source Daily Radiance Fluid for the face
> Chanel's Beaute Initiale (Healthy Glow)
> St. Tropez Everyday
Foundation - the base to build on!
> Armani is still the industry standard for flawless skin. They have many new formulas. The latest and greatest is their Cream to Powder for a flawless finish but its just launching now so look for it in Holts this Fall.
Secret Surprises for Fall
> Armani Smooth Silk Eye Pencil in #0. Yes its white...Place it under the arch of your brow and blend. WOW - a brow lift!
> Dot some on either side of your nose next to the corner of your eyes to lighten those dark hollows - better than any concealer and it opens up your eyes.
> Also can be used on the inside rim of your lower eyelid to brighten the whites of your eyes. Fantastic for photography.
> A great new Cream Blush - BENEFIT Sheer Cream Blush in Hush.
...and you can buy these beauties at Holt Renfrew, Shoppers Drug Mart, The Bay or Sephora.
