Get The Look: Reese Witherspoon’s From The “This Means War” Premiere

Feb 132012

Her makeup was done by Robin Fredriksz using products from Avon. Robin put the focus on Reese’s eyes, starting with a subtle cat eye and using four different shadows to blend out a smoky eye. To complete the look, Robin layered on the mascara and applied a soft pink cream blush and lipstick to give Reese a natural glow.Check out the products listed to get the same soft chic look.

NARS Gaiety Blush Swatches- Spring 2012

Blush 14 Responses »

Jan 252012

I have tried the pink blush thing before and it’s not for me. I was talking with my readers like I normally do and we came to the conclusion that warm toned gals just cant pull off cool toned blushes. So warm toned gals look away, this blush aint for you. Yes it appears to be a hot pink, but it’s not!

Cool toned gals welcome to the party! NARS Gaiety is the blush for you! Gaiety is a cool toned, blue based soft pink. In order to achieve the bright vivid pink, you are going to need layer after layer after layer. It is buildable, so that is a good thing.

Gaiety is all matte no shimmer, no sparkle.

NARS Gaiety is available for $28.00 on http://www.narscosmetics.com/

MAC Fresh Honey Swatch/Review

Blush 3 Responses »

Jan 232012

MAC’s Naturally Collection was full of surprises! Fresh Honey is a soft punchy orange. You could say a muted Apricot but I am leaning more towards a soft orange.

Fresh honey is very light and powdery, expect fallout when applying this blush. Not only will you get fallout on your brush, but it will leave fallout on the inside of the brush container. Not a big deal of course.

While this looks good on my arm, I am too warm for this blush on my face. Sad smile

You can purchase this blush for $20 on maccosmetics.com or visit the site to check the location of stores near you.

I blended at the top and didn’t at the bottom so you could get a better idea of what this looks like blended and unblended. You really have to be the right skin tone to pull this one off. Like… pale, no yellow undertones for this blush.

Jan 132012

Something special this Friday from Make Up For Ever. Most women report that the biggest issue that they have with purchasing foundation online, is that they don’t really know what shade they are. Make Up For Ever has made an attempt to resolve this problem, by creating the shade finder.

The shade finder was created for the HD line of foundations with Make Up For Ever. Not only does it give you recommendations on what shade foundation you need, it also recommends a primer, concealer, and blush. All from the HD line! You have to love that!

Check out the steps you take to find your shade and my results!

Begin by checking your skin tone range. You have the choices of light, medium, tan, dark, and deep. I chose the dark option.
