Tried & Tested: Bare Escentuals Pretty Amazing Lip Color

I don’t consider myself easily impressed, so when I read the name of the latest lip release from Bare Escentuals, I wondered if would really hold up. Sure, all eight of the pink and red lip colors were pretty, but “amazing” is a strong word. Would they be truly amazing? After trying three of the shades (Courage, Moxie, and Free Will), I can attest that, yes, they are truly amazing.

These are ultra-creamy lip colors, not glosses; so don’t be fooled by the tube-like packaging. The applicator is spongy and curves to your lips, so it disperses plenty of color. In fact, they’re so highly pigmented that one swipe was plenty. And it does more than just add color, providing lips with nourishment and moisture. Pretty Amazing is one of the longest-lasting lip products I’ve used in awhile, cutting down my reapplies to only a few throughout a full day (including after lunch).

And I’ll repeat: This is not a gloss. Though it may provide a little shine, the closest comparison to this unique product is probably a lip stain. It’s rich and creamy, but lightweight and hydrating. So in short, it has all the good qualities of every different lip product in one little tube. Next up to try: the bright, bold fuchsia Ambition.

Make-up tips for Mature women of color


Why is changing the nature of your skin, your makeup routine should change as well. The trick that ran to twenty, thirty or forty years did not necessarily integrate skin in later years. This is a time to experiment to find the shades and colors that looks best on you. Do not hesitate to consult a makeup artist at a cosmetics counter, if you need a guide. Here is how to remain forever looking for young people:

* Reconsider your skin type. Is likely to be more dry, then if you had once oily skin can now actually be more like combination skin or skin type normal. previously normal skin can now be dry.

* Reconsider the tone of the skin. Thanks to years of exposure to the Sun, the facial skin can be considerably darker in previous years. If you changed the tone of your skin, makeup shades will also need to change.

* Use the adjuster to uneven skin tone camouflage, which is more common in older skin color. First, you must select a shade of concealer that is lighter than your current skin tone. Must also be formulated for your skin type. You'll need more than one checker because it will be your skin type
probably change from season to season. Where are prominent stains, apply a concealer and blend.

* Make sure your Foundation matches the skin tone. Test the shadow applied to the face and viewing with a mirror of natural light. If it is too light, trying to hold and settle on a scale that most closely approximates your current tone. Avoid shading with gradients that are too red or orange. After finding the right shade, make sure that it is a liquid Moisturiser or Foundation; avoid opaque formulae, which can further dry the skin. Apply a layer with a light touch evenly to the skin with a sponge makeup.

* Blend the Foundation on the neck to avoid a line of makeup between your face and neck.

* Set your Foundation with powder. A pressed powder or powder moisturizing keeps your skin looks dry. Translucent powder will do for many women, but a pigmented tones that matches your Foundation can help further camouflage irregular pigmentation. However, do not apply the lightest dusting of powder because too many dust will settle in-and emphasize ­ any fine lines or wrinkles.

* Apply blush below your cheekbones. For mature women, less can be more.

* Use an eyebrow pencil or shadow to add the definition that has been thinned eyebrows through years of plucking. Shots of light between the eyebrow hairs will look more natural than a straight line. Experiment with new shades of eye shadow to complement your skin tone and mixture, blend, blend. If you apply eyeliner and mascara, use a light hand. Dark Eyeliner on the lower lid tends to emphasize the fact that clubs can now be more prominent. If your eyelashes have thinned, consider using those fake instead of overdoing mascara.

* Facial moisturizing lipstick or lip gloss finish. Use the corresponding lips around the edges of the lips before lip if the shape has become irregular. Also, if your lips have become more dry, apply a lip balm with Sunscreen SPF 15 before your lipstick or gloss. As with the Foundation, blush and eyeshadow, experimenting with colors from soft beige or pink or Mocha-Burgundy to find shades that flatter you best.

* Remove makeup per day with a makeup remover formulated for dry skin.

* Replace trick frequently, every six months or so--since you are using formulas moisturizer or oil-based (Foundation, powder) that can go wrong, more quickly. Eye makeup should be replaced every three months.

Mac-Surf! Color of the child

Another limited edition collection is here from Mac and this time is based around the art totally awesome surfing.
Mac - Surf! Baby Colour

With powder cheek, pigments, Lippies and sprinkled with pencils and mascara and some packaging totally sweet surfing! Baby colour collection actually presents some of the most attractive and wearable shades that I saw in a limited edition collection for some time.
When he was Mac Limited Edition collections now exit I try not to get caught up in the hype as in the past I've bought things that would not have dreamed of collecting that appear in the main line (I'm looking at you ask women and venomous villains).
However, I was in the Mac, the other day, picking up a face and body and a nice color coral pink soft caught my attention.
Is a strange potion lipglass, as that is really rather tacky last a good bit on the lips. The color has some pink shimmer that crosses to give him some extra depth, but is in no way super bright and subtle. The mix of pink and coral make this uber-flattering shade when worn with the paler skin tanned or natural, or a bonus for those days without fake tan. Finally the pigmentation is worth a mention as it seems to be much stronger in other lipglasses with a semi-matte finish. This means that raising standing really well when worn alone, but it seems just as good when worn over corals or pink Lipstick.
Check out the Surf! Www.maccosmetics.co.uk color collection where you can take the odd potion lipglass for £ 13.50.
Peace out dudes!

Bobbi Brown Lip Color is Rich cosmic

If you've searched for a lip color long-wearing, non-drying and catching attention, let me direct your attention to the Color of the lips of Bobbi Brown Rich. This is the newest addition to the line of lipsticks, Bobbi and she certainly livened up things with this launch! Available in 12 shades, from naked in bold, this lipstick lives up to its name. The formula is incredibly rich and pigmented, and just a shot gives fabulously colourful lips.

L-r: Mod pink, pink, Plum, raspberry cosmic
A sliding ladies – no joke. Here's how I swatched them! The best thing about these is creamy Lipsticks as they are. Completely prevents any unwanted flakies lip dryness and meets or just looking for attention! Trust me to wear these lipsticks and you will get noticed. I'm going through a moment of great cosmic spring with Raspberry.

I promise you, that cosmic raspberry is also brighter in person. I took this picture after about 8 hours of wear, and apart from some tweaks after eating and drinking coffee, he remained to perfection without fading.  I think this would be so flattering color on anyone – it's just a punchy Raspberry. I think the side effect of wear it is excessive smiling (and some smizing too). Because when wearing a color like this, how can you not be happy?
