I was very intrigued by the Almay commercials and ads for their new Smart Shade Makeup. I was excited to find the foundation on sale today, so I picked up a tube in shade 100, which is for light skin. This foundation is super lightweight and offers fresh, natural coverage. The cool thing about the Smart Shade Makeup is that it goes on white and then adjusts to your skin when you rub it in, resulting...

I have more mascara then I could go through in a year, but I had a hard time walking past the L’Oreal display without grabbing the new Voluminous False Fiber Lashes mascara. Formulated with a blend of long and short nylon and rayon fibers, this mascara gives a voluminous false lash effect. With the same fibers used to make false lashes, this clump-free formula leaves lashes longer, curled, fuller... 

With cooler weather on the way, I was looking for a little ‘pick-me-up’ as I transitioned my makeup routine from summer to fall. I picked up a box of Kate Somerville ‘Somerville360′ Tanning Towelettes and gave them a try before heading out to a party. The towelette was very easy to apply and while I recommend wearing a glove, the excess tanner did wash off very easily. Using... 

Have you been noticing more women wearing a bright pop of color on their faces this summer? If you recognized that it’s coral, then you are right on with this hugely popular spring/summer trend. Coral makeup is juicier, fresher, brighter and more wearable then ever before. It looks lovely atop a tan, so summer is the perfect time to add some of these bright coral makeup options to your collection... 

I am always on the lookout for new face primers. With combination skin, I tend to get oily, especially on my nose. Add in a dose of New York City summer heat and I am suffering from paranoia over my pores! That brings me to my latest find, Benefit Cosmetics’ the POREfessional, a balm that minimizes the appearance of pores. This balm glides on as smooth as silk, leaving a flawless foundation...

We love to accessorize with Burberry – handbags, shoes, even fragrances so it’s about time they launched a Burberry makeup line too. WWD reports that the brand announced today that it will launch its first line of makeup this July. Christopher Bailey, Burberry’s creative director, said the line is a result of his frustrations with caky, off-color makeup at fashion shows. So, he did what...

Last month I reserved a spot at a Master Class taught by Trish McEvoy Cosmetics. The class was aptly called ‘The Power of Make-Up’ and it was a very appropriate title for such a wonderful class. It was a very small, informal group of women of all ages, led by Connie Lewis of Trish McEvoy Cosmetics. There was a lot of personal attention, with one make-up artist for every two women. I eagerly... 

In case you haven’t heard, nude is haute for Spring. Not going naked, but nude apparel and accessories, of course! Nude shoes lengthen legs, a nude top is great under a suit and nude handbags work with any look. But really the best place to go nude is on your skin. Nude makeup is what every woman wants – no one likes the pasty-faced caked-on makeup from the past. So that’s why we heart Dior’s... 

As a self-proclaimed makeup addict, I probably have more cosmetics than I need. I currently store it all in a large train case, which is wonderful for organization, but not the easiest to access every time I need a touch-up. I recently went looking for a more portable solution, and I came upon the Trish McEvoy Deluxe Planner Makeup System. It is exactly what I have been searching for, and I wanted...

Wrinkles, fines lines, and dark circles don’t stand a chance with this light and silky... 

Mineral makeup has been all the rage lately. I see ads and promotions for it all the time, so I decided to give it a try. I visited the Bare Minerals counter in Nordstrom and was warmly greeted. I let the consultant know that I have never used mineral makeup before and that I wanted to achieve a natural, everyday look. My skin was prepped with Skin Rev-er Upper, and a little goes a long way. Just...
