Glam Makeup
2007-08-22 18:24:00
This fall, Glam is back. As seen on models during the Fall 2007 fashion shows, creamy red lips and smoky, purple eyes rule the season. Dany Sanz, creator of Make Up For Ever, teaches you how to turn the look into your own:Red lips are sexy and classic. Line lips with a waterproof lip liner such as Aqua Lip #9C ($16.00) to create definition and to keep lipstick put. Fill in lined lips with a cherry red, moisturizing lipstick like Lipstick #207 ($18.00). Seal the deal with a lip sealant to keep the red hue from fading throughout the day such as NEW Lip Seal ($20.00). Purple reigns for the eyes. Here's a great look that works for day as well as evening: Line top lash line with a deep purple cream liner, such as the NEW Aqua Creamliner #5 ($20.00). Swipe a burgundy shadow such as NEW Diamond Eye Shadow #311 ($20.00) over the lid and brow bone. Finish the look with two coats of a lash extending mascara such as Lengthening Mascara ($19.00). We are big fans of the Aqua liners for lips an...

Product-aholic

It seems like there have been so many fab new products launched recently. Here are some favorites that have become permanent additions to my regime:Estee Lauder Idealist miraculously shrinks the appearance of pores...Really. Skin looks and feels so much smoother and is less congested (read: fewer breakouts). This in the morning over my Skin Ceuticals C E Ferulic plus Retin-A Micro at night are my cure for sun damage. None of this is all that inexpensive, but you only have one face and skincare is not the place to scrimp.Laura Mercier Lip Stain provides the visual effect of a stain with the comfort and sheen of a lip gloss. Perfect on its own at the gym or to drop the kids at school, even better over a layer of lipliner (filled in) applied with a lipbrush.Fiberwig Mascara thickens like nobody's business...without clumps. The name "Fiberwig" scared me...but the product and its applicator proved me wrong...amazing!ghd Thermal Protector for Weak Damaged Hair makes all the difference wh...
