Wow, It’s been so long! I can’t
apologize enough. I could tell you why or I could just tell you that I’ve been
functioning with one hand tied behind my back. That said, who really cares?
Let’s get down to the looks: Neutral Look:
I love the Estee Lauder Pure
Color eye shadow in Ginger Drop ($17.50) paired with Nars’ India Song eye
shadow duo ($31). The ginger drop is a very warm neutral that works well with
many different skin types—I can attest to that after using it in some fashion
shows as well as private clients—as a base color. For the crease, use the brown
from India Song or on the entire lid if you want a smokier look. As for the
matte banana color? You can either put it down on the lid first and it will make
the Ginger Drop sheerer and lighter, or you can just use it as a duo. But it
might end up just being one of those colors you don’t use that much. Or maybe
you want to drop the Ginger Drop? It’s up to you. Put it this way, with three colors, you have
lots of choices. For the cheeks you can use
one of two things: Serrato by Nars ($25), a golden-bronzey color that really
skates blush and bronzer, and you can pair that with a dusting of Bobbi Brown’s
Apricot on the apple of your cheek ($20). On the lips, I’m loving the Tom Ford (for Estee Lauder) Amber Spice ($35), from the Amber Nude Collection.
Unfortunately it will only be around until December. Estee Lauder lipsticks
smell so great, though, the color and the fragrance and the packaging make it a
very satisfying experience. And I’m using Elaborate lipglass by MAC ($14) over
that. This neutral look is such a
crowd pleaser. I have never gotten so many happy faces looking back at
themselves in mirrors when I’ve been done. Red Mouth: If you are broke, or even if
you are not, I love the Tropez red lip glosses. They are, like, $1.99 and they
pool into an embossed rose at the bottom of the jar. Again, a satisfying
packaging experience and the lip glosses are great: they are more pigmented
than a gloss but not quite a lipstick and because they are in a pot, using them
with your finger gives a thinner application. I love Cherry Blossom and Black
Orchid and you can get them at Walgreens, so pretty. If you must have a red lip this season, and some of us must, pick from one of five perfect reds from Besame ($18). They are in a semi-matte satin. The texture can only be described as weightless gravitas. If you want the full range for yourself, simply pick up their five-pack ($75).
The double-sided lip pencil is perfect for all of these
colors, and perfect to have just in case ($24). The cheeks you must wear with
this is Oasis, by Nars ($25). Once you start with this, you will never want to
put it down. It will last all winter into spring. It’s the perfect pinky-brown
blush because the gold shimmer in it lays it down perfectly. It never streaks
or looks inky/blotchy, which can happen to that genre of blushes. Rock and Roll Eye:
Do a little Oasis on the
cheeks and then for the finale? Viva Glam V lipglass ($14). Why not do
something good when you’re being so bad? Rrowrrrr.
Glad you are back. Brenda | 12/10/2006, 10:59
Glad you're back! I had to forfeit some lip gloss on a recent air trip, so I thought of you when I got to shop for new stuff. I like the lip palettes that you recommend generally - they offer lots of versatility. Susanna | 12/10/2006, 23:05
