Reader Review of the Day: Make Up For Ever Mat Bronze
Bronzer can create the perfect sun-kissed look. But it can also look muddy or too obvious if the formulation doesn't work with your skin tone. Reader Treesah recently reviewed Make Up For Ever Mat Bronze ($30), giving it four out of five stars.
Make Up For Ever Makes a Lash Splash
Make Up For Ever has just launched a two-fold campaign called Lash Pimpin'. The first part includes 55 types of reusable, nylon faux lashes. The second part is Flash Color, 24 shades of highly pigmented eye makeup that was previously available to professionals only.
New Product Alert: Make Up For Ever HD Microfinish Powder
So I've kinda fallen in love with this Make Up For Ever Microfinish Powder ($30). I ran across it yesterday at Sephora and was skeptical of the High Definition name. "Harrumph," I harrumphed.
In Which NARS Makes Up My Mind
Yesterday, my best friend and I were headed out for the night. Sick of this bronzer-mascara combo we've both been rocking all summer, I opened Make Up Your Mind by Francois Nars to a random page and followed the directions (with whatever similar products I had). This classic tome is broken into eight sections that begin with general tips and end with step-by-step instructions for each look.
Reader Review: WhiplashGirlchild on Make Up For Ever Super Matte Loose Powder
I've always been a bit suspicious of loose powder, especially the kind that is supposed to be used to "set" makeup. On me, it often looks caked-on and masklike. Looks like I'm not the only one.
Makeup To Make Up For Your Flaws
I think that Make Up For Ever is an underdog brand. Though you don't hear about it very often, many makeup artists use this very high-quality line for runways and photo shoots, and for many years, it was the exclusive makeup used for all of the Cirque Du Soleil shows. Its foundations, in particular, are incredible, and the newest addition to the line, Make Up For Ever Face and Body Liquid Makeup is renowned in the biz because of its heavy coverage and incredibly light feel.

Reader Review of the Day: Laura Mercier All Over Eye Color Brush
Laura Mercier is known for her lovely products, and her All Over Eye Color Brush ($30) is apparently no exception. Reader ElisabethR says:
"I have been fighting with eye shadow brushes for months. Every single one I bought was too small, too stiff, and didn't distribute color evenly on my lids.
Scar Creams: You Helped a Girl Out!
Earlier, I asked if you could help a reader out. She hit up the Problem Solved group in our BellaSugar Community for tips on minimizing the appearance of a brand-new scar. Thanks to all of your amazing tips and advice, I was able to put together a widget of your favorite remedies.
You Can Look Pretty in Purple Shadow, Too
Emma Stone sure knows how to glam it up, doesn't she? At last night's GQ Men of the Year event in LA, the actress wowed in this subtle lavender shadow. Encircling the eyes with makeup can look raccoon-like, but Emma manages to pull it off, thanks to a light touch and a soft-toned shade.
