Day Time Face Powder

Though I maintain my love for the MAC mineralize skinfinish powder, it's heavy and is better suited for night. My latest craze for day coverage is Laura Mercier's Foundation Powder in #2. This product is offered with the option of pink or yellow undertones, which is perfect for me since most companies only offer yellow undertones. The coverage is buildable: for lightest coverage use a powder brush, for medium use the puff, and for the heaviest coverage use the sponge (both puff and sponge are included).

MAC Blot Powder...an oily girl's dream!

I don't know how I'm the last person to hear about this, but apparently I am. After reading about the MAC Blot Powder/Pressed being used on the set of the Sex and The City Movie, Twilight, etc, I decided to try it out for myself....and WOW. Normally, I'll cake on more powder in the early afternoon to try to get rid of the shine, but it ends up streaking and looking like I did my make up in the dark. Not anymore.

Now I pat in on and I'm good to go. I've also been using it as a finishing powder over foundation at night. Basically, I'm having a love affair with this product. A warning: it's so sheer that I use the Medium Dark color; I'm normally as light as it gets! Don't go too light or it looks chalky.

MAC Monogram Collection

The new collection from MAC is something very different for them: a high end line. The prices are near double to what they normally are, ranging from $22-$70. The collection is packaged in gold and browns and includes lipstick, lip gloss, powder, brushes, fragrance, and a clutch. All in all, the colors are nice, but it reminds me of something I'd find from Estee Lauder. I would just as soon stick to their regular line (which is still fabulous), and save my money--you're basically just paying for the packaging.

Vampire Make Up Trend? I'm in!

In keeping with my slight (huge) Twilight obsession, I've decided that the pale, otherworldly vampire look is in. To create this look I'm using T. LeClerc's Loose Powder in Parme No. 7, a lavender shade. The purple tint of the loose powder neutralizes redness and whitens pale complexions. Though the powder is sheer and you can't tell that you're wearing mauve powder, it's a dramatic look and best for already pale skin tones. Apply last with a fluffy brush for an airbrushed finish.

Twilight Movie Make Up

I can't believe how excited I am about the Twilight movie coming out on Friday--I'm almost giddy. I think that Edward is the most dashing hero since Mr Darcy! I'm completely caught up in the teen craze, so you can't imagine how thrilled I was to find that Makeup411.com had a list of the actual colors used by make-up artist Jeanne Van Phue on the set. I may not have a handsome vampire in love with me, but at least now I can channel Bella's natural beauty.
