Summer in the Makeup Room 2003

There's a new mascara and my vote is still out on this one. I have a love/hate relationship in using this product and it's accompanying primer. Unlike most
mascaras, Blinc Mascara is not oil based. It is water-resistant and doesn't smudge. That's a good thing for those who get black under their eyes. Kiss Me Mascara goes on in tiny tubes that surround the lashes. It won't flake, run or smear. If you want more volume and length, apply several coats of the Grand Lash Primer before the mascara. On the other side of the application process is the removal process. Lots of water and some gentle pressure on the lashes will remove the tubes which then slide down the face without smearing all over. What scares me is that the tubes look like lashes and I get nervous that my lashes have fallen out because I've rinsed or rubbed too hard. And with my very blond (where did they go?) lashes, I can't tell if I have any lashes left until I put more mascara on and my lashes re-appear. Now, if I don't wash my mascara off at the end of the evening, I can wake up to perfect lashes and no under eye smudges! That's a good thing. But again, I don't feel like my lashes look as lush as using normal mascara. I love the idea, am still not sure of the process. But I keep using it anyway because of the non-smearing, non-flaking part. Well, seeing is believing and for those of you who would like to try Blinc Mascara find them at www.blincinc.com or 1-877-4kissMe $25 Primer $15.

Airbrush makeup is forging on. A new line of equipment and makeup has entered the arena called Kett hydro Airbrush Makeup. The foundation is odorless waterbased, moveable and blendable. It's made to apply with the airbrush, however quick touch-ups can be performed with fingers, sponge or brush. The foundations are in both warm and cool shades (5 each). Two additional shades are used for darkening existing colors and neutralizing beard shadow or a natural blush. Kett Sett Powder is a translucent powder to set the foundation. What I like about this line is the color selection. It reminds me of the very popular Visiora line of makeup from France. The warm shades are great and the cool, aren't too yellow. The kit comes with 2 extra empty bottles to custom blend if needed. The compressor is a light weight, sleek, modern black box. It's easily transportable from job to job and has a handle and a receptacle to hold your airbrush. Products can be found at http://www.kettcosmetics.com
