Reader Review of the Day: Stila Convertible Color
I love combination lip and cheek colors. There's no better way to get a natural, pretty flush, and that's why I was glad to see reader Medgrl726's smart, informative review of Stila Convertible Color ($25). (Celebrity makeup artist Brett Freedman is also a fan.) Medgrl725 tells us:
I'm almost out of my Stila Convertible Color, and felt compelled to talk up its mileage for all this time.
3 Amazing Lip Stains For Back-to-School Beauty
Recently, I asked celebrity makeup artist Brett Freedman for some of his back-to-school beauty tips, and he delivered, by providing ideas for changing up your bronzer to adapt from warm- to cool-weathered times. Now, he's sharing another back-to-school tip, whether you're hitting the books for the start of a new school year, or you're looking for some different approaches to makeup.
"Lip glazes make a big difference," he said.
Reader Review of the Day: The Body Shop Lip and Cheek Stain
Reader Fashion_doll24 thinks that The Body Shop's Lip and Cheek Stain ($14) is a purse essential. Formulated for all skin tones, this multitasking gel formula gives a wash of color to cheeks and lips. Take it away, Fashion_doll24:
I'm a big fan of this stain, mainly because I'm not good at finding the right shade of lip gloss for my complexion, and this is definitely a case of "one shade fits all."
What's Your Favorite Type of Lip Product?
I've learned that an astounding number of you prefer to use powder blush over cream blush, mineral blushes or cheek stains, and now I want to know about your love of lip products. When I'm heading out the door, my go-to lip product is usually a neutral, shimmery lip gloss. Do you also reach for a gloss or are you more of a tinted or a plain lip balm, lipstick or lip stain kind of gal?
Trend Alert: Blackberry Lips
As we know, berry lips are a great away to add a touch of bright color to any Winter look. From the sneak peek at the Bobbi Brown Raspberry Collection, it looks like berries are going to get even darker — yet more sheer — for Spring 2008. Here are three great blackberry lip shades that also happen to complement the dark-purple nail trend.
Trend Alert: Berry Delicious Winter Lips
How "berry" appropriate that makeup in the winter months turns to shades of reds, golds and berries to create warmth and depth. Sheer berries are a great way to incorporate a hint of bright color into your look since they are softer than red lipsticks and bright pink lipsticks. You can also dab a bit on your your cheeks for a fresh and natural-looking flush.
Bellissima! Clinique's Black Honey Has Three New Sister Shades
Although this lipstick range is part of the Fall 2007 Play In The Darks collection by Clinique, that I told you about in late July, these three new shades of Almost Lipstick struck a chord when I realized that they are renditions of the ever-popular cult favorite Black Honey Almost Lipstick. At first I thought there was just one new version out called Black Plum, but I have recently learned about two more shades in Black Raspberry (bright, sheer pink) and Black Raisin (deep wine).
There's a reason I am so excited.
Product Review: NARS Lip Gloss/Lip Stain Duo
For the Holiday 2007 season, Nars launched its beautiful Siren Song Collection. I've been a busy bee creating different looks with all of the colors, but the one product I just can't seem to make friends with is the Lip Gloss/Lip Stain Gloss Duos.
I'm a lover of most makeup pairs because of their great value, and I certainly haven't met a Nars product that I didn't like, but my experience with the Indian Red Lip Stain side of my duo was a colossal disaster.
