Editor's note: This is the final blog post from our amazing guest writer, Gina Brooke, who created the makeup look seen here on Madonna.

As a beauty expert and as a makeup artist, I depend on the skill of application and technique. That's why it is essential to use the right tools to achieve my artistic vision.

One of the most exciting parts of consulting for a makeup brand is the product development process. At Hourglass, we plan our lineup a year in advance — scouting new ingredients that are unique and focusing on products that women really want. I love working with Carisa Janes, Hourglass’s CEO and founder. She is an absolute perfectionist and truly understands the need for creating quality products that are innovative and effective.

So for the past week, I've been on a quest to be kinder to my kisser. To do so, I tried three new lip products with different prices — all of them free of parabens.

Coming Soon: Hourglass Cosmetics Extreme Sheen Lip Gloss

The latest addition to the Hourglass Cosmetics line is Extreme Sheen Lip Gloss. This ultra-rich gloss contains a patented ingredient which coats lips with a layer of liquid crystal.

I haven't been able to see all of the colors yet, but if the texture is anything like their Sheen Glosses, they'll be amazingly smooth and creamy with a shine factor that's off the charts!

Two of the shades have already been released and the third will be released in October. Imagine, shown here, is a peachy gold that will be available exclusively at Sephora for $28 and Reflect and Ignite can be found wherever Hourglass Cosmetics are sold. Based on their names I can't wait to try these intriguing glosses!

Introducing LA's newest makeup brand, Hourglass Cosmetics.
by

Introducing LA's newest makeup brand, Hourglass Cosmetics. This new line of luxury makeup is hip, chic and loaded with skincare benefits. It's also on the down low. Currently Hourglass does not do any advertising, yet has a star studded fab following with clients such as: Angelina Jolie, Uma Thurman, Demi Moore, Nicole Kidman, Julianne Moore, and Naomi Watts.

The line consists of: liquid VEIL foundation, powder, concealer, bronzing powder, blush, lipstick, lip gloss, eye liner, lip liner, mascara and many brushes.

My favorite items are the eye and cheek Hourglass Passage and Color Link Palettes. These palettes contain six eye shadows and two silky powder blushes which all contain Vitamin E to fight aging.

There are five versions of the Color Link Palette ($55) and they come in a beautiful Passage Leather Case ($75). Once you buy the case, you can pop the other palettes in and out for versatility!

Also, did I mention that their powder is made with caffeine to help reduce puffiness? Now that you're in the know - shop away. Prices range from $15-$145.
