18 One Easy Way to Get More From Your Lip Products
Do you feel it in the air? It's party season, and that means you probably have more than just one festive social function marked in your calendar. But it also probably means you have Read more
Want to know a super-quick way to illuminate the face in an instant with minimal effort? After your regular application of lipstick, lip gloss, or both, simply dab the excess product onto the cheeks and blend. If the color's brighter or darker, lightly tap into the apples of the cheeks as a blush. If the color's lighter, use it as a highlighter and apply it right along the upper cheekbones. Not Read more
I don't know a woman around who isn't looking for inexpensive, multitasking beauty products. And that's exactly what cosmetic designer and developer Ben Bennett had in mind when he created Wanderlove's Lip Wand ($17). The three-in-one includes a lip liner, lipstick, and gloss, and the Eye Wand ($17) includes a black liner, creamy eye shadow, and highlighter stick. It's a clever idea, and these Read more
Over the past decade or so, Anastasia Soare has established herself as the expert in eyebrow grooming. Her company, Anastasia Beverly Hills, has a Go Brow Brow Pencil & Highlighter ($21). It's a dual-ended chunky pencil that features a universal brow color on one end and a highlighter on the other. For just half the cost, Soap & Glory Arch de Triumph ($10) is an excellent Read more
Highlighters illuminate, while concealers cover. This was a very important lesson I learned while chatting with Yves St. Laurent national makeup artist, Dell Ashley, at the San Francisco Saks 5th Avenue. Perhaps you've heard of a little product called Touche Éclat ($40), a highly popular highlighting pen that helps to brighten and contour the face — but you weren't exactly sure how to use it?

Blushes with multiple colors are a great way to get the benefits of various colors, without having to buy an overabundance of product. Neutrogena's Healthy Skin Blends Sheer Highlighting Blush ($12.80) has a touch of color with a slight shimmery finish. Reader Laura220 is impressed, and here's why: For me, this is expensive for blush, but it's so worth it. I'm very light-skinned, and this doesn't Read more
If you make frequent stops on the Bella train, then you'll know that I'm all about safe sunning — which means no tanning at all. But that doesn't mean you have to lose the look of a day at the beach. While I love the benefits of a self-tanner, sometimes I don't want to deal with the smell of DHA combining with my skin's chemistry or the affliction of streak-mania all over my body. So, I've Read more
I get darkness under my eyes, so I'm a fan of brighteners, which liven up the under-eye area in a flash. Instant refreshment. Reader Laratf highly recommends Smashbox Photo Op Under Eye Brightener, and here's why: It's by far the best brightener/concealer I've used. It's not just sheer shimmer that makes you look like a freak in photos (anyone else face that problem?), it provides good coverage, Read more
If you're a regular reader, you'll know that I love multitasking products. Loyal reader Emalove recently reviewed MAC's Mineralize Skinfinish Degradé ($28), a limited-edition palette of four shades that can be used all over the face as a blush, highlighter, eye shadow, and contouring powder. Find out what she had to say about the shimmery stuff below: I just bought my first Mineralize Read more
Highlighters are great, so don't just save them for special occasions; use them everyday for that wide-awake glow. So, for today's reader review, we're looking at Benefit Cosmetics high beam ($24), a brightening complexion enhancer. Reader A Million Suns is loving this product, calling it an ethereal glow in a bottle. Here's what she had to say: "Just a few dots of this on my brow bones, inner Read more
