Calvin Klein Years ago during my stint at Playboy Magazine in LA, I used a Mary Kay Cosmetics foundation as body makeup and Tony & Tina Vibrational Remedies always innovative brings you All that Glitters is Gold this summer. An exciting addition to the line is Herbal environmental Protector: 3'in' 1 Universal Br
Era Face by Classified Cosmetics is an aerosol foundation that mists color directly onto the skin as in airbrushing. I like the concept however the application takes a bit of getting use |

the lipstick Viva Glam IV from M.A.C. either for yourself or as a gift and 100% of the sales goes to the M.A.C. Aids Fund to benefit men and women with HIV and Aids. Besides the good cause, this years color, a rose with a gold shimmer is perfect! $14.00
Studio Tech Foundation $26.00 is M.A.C.'s answer to a cream to powder formulation. I like this foundation. And I'm recommending it to most of the News Anchors I work with. It's long wearing, matte, can be lay
ered on with either the included sponge or M.A.C.'s newest in it's brush collection ... The foundation brush. I'm really into brushing on foundation. It's a whole other finish!. And also from the Perfect Skin Collection in 11 shades and 5 correctors is Select Cover Up $12.50. It's a little tube of concealer in more shades then a normal concealer would come in. It can be layered for more coverage and has a lightweight texture so the effect is smooth. Finally, a concealer that doesn't age the undereye area!
u like using a brush or sponge. Use a large powder or blush brush for your face - a small wet brush for eyes and lips. I like it for legs too used with a big natural sponge. $19. Included in the collection is Baked Liquid FX $15, The same color as the baked compact with SPF 15 and lots of sparkle. Baked XXX - Shine Lip Gloss $15 is almost translucent with a touch of bronze glimmer in a tube. Baked Nail Enamel (This I like a whole lot) $9.50 For your eyes check out Baked Eye Shadow $15 an electric bronze, wet or dry use a shadow or liner, and dot a little on your lips under the gloss. Line your eyes with Radium Eye Pencil $12 - a sea blue (goes great with bronze) or Radium Liquid Liner $12 a metallic blue. The whole look is very summery. Urban Decay added to their skin care line with Sniper-Blemish Zapper $15 with gentle tea tree oil and salicylic acid. It comes in a little convenient bottle to zap that zit when you need it. Clean Up - Gentle Makeup Remover $14, a clear liquid for all skin types that removes makeup with cotton or cloth or a q'tip for around the eyes and mouth to correct a boo boo. It's not sudsy or oily, it's a makeup remover, so, use a cleanser after.
rst I've tried this summer that doesn't have all the glitter and hoop-dee-doo that the others have. And frankly on this over - 40 face It looks better! $16.50 The lip Shimmer $12.50 is so beautiful that my friends who come over to lookie-loo at what the newest summer looks, all fought for the limited edition Sunshine and Sunset. Quick Eyes a two sided eye pencil/shadow gives you choice on how to wear it. I like the look of smudging in the shadow into the liner for a smokier look and better staying power during the summer months. Also check out Touch Tint for Eyes $13.50, applied with a finger, (my new favorite application tool for eyes and lips!) And Face Quick Bronze Tinted Self-Tanner $15.50 Check out Moisture Sheer Lipstick SPF 15. Formulated with Shea Butter, Grape Seed Oil and Antioxidants to moisturize, smooth and protect your lips. Twelve very wearable shades $13.50
e, mauve rose, plum brown and aubergine $17.50 Seems like they've re-vamped the Sheer Wash Cheek Color. Its smaller than last years and in this woman's opinion, easier to apply. In Natural Rose $17.50 At $13.50 the new Cherry Lip and Cheek Tint, is just the right shade of berry to apply wet or dry. Have fun with this one. Available at 
ause the textures have shimmer without making the face look puffy. The whole look is clean starting with Sheer Coverage Foundation in 8 shades. Cheeks get a touch of shimmer with a limited Cheek Sheen Duo in pink luster and mocha glow.$23. The eyes are neutral using two can't be without eye shadows woodrose and charcoal, $15, and outlined in cocoa plum eye definer pencil. $14 . The lip colors from Double Satin Lip Tint in cassis camellia and champagne.$16. 
concealer and boy did I love it! They discontinued the shades however, and I got an attitude about "home party" makeup lines, so I didn't bother with purchasing more of the line, no matter how many of my clients said they used Mary Kay. Well, I just got a chance to use several pieces again. And I'm pleasantly surprised. Mary Kay has launched MK Signature Collection this June 2002. The collection contains a larger assortment of shades for more skin tones, contemporary all new packaging and easy to put together platinum compacts that store foundation, blush, several shadows and a lipstick. To change colors, just pop one out and press in another favorite shade for the day. There's plenty of eye, cheek and lip shades to choose from, as well as foundations, powder, concealer and bronzing beads. $18 with a retractable big bronzing brush $10. The prices won't uproot your pocketbook either. $15 buys you a clever little tube of Oil Mattifier that when applied quickly absorbs oil for up to 8 hours. The eye shadows run about $6.50, lipsticks from $12 and dual finish foundation $14. Take another look at 
onzer. Use the brush to stroke this pressed powder bronzer on where the sun would warm you face, shoulders and chest. Other golden T&T products are Herbal char'khol in Empathy Universal Color Dust in Shooting Star, Cosmic Lights in Starburst and Spirit Guide, a GREAT Chakra Nail Pen in Wonder and of course wonderful Aromatherapy Lip Gloss in Cosmic Nymph. All nicely priced and available online at Sephora, or various Nordstroms Stores. Also check out T&T new book Tony & Tina Color Energy: How Color can Transform your life $25 800-331-6531
There's a new guy in town getting some great publicity and rightly so. Naieem Abdool, the founder of Paint Cosmetiques travels around the country promoting this well done, artistically clean line of cosmetics. Paint Cosmetiques is nicely packaged and packs a good punch in the "Gotta Have" department. My favorite is a little duo compact lip and cheek tint called Ragdoll. Use your finger to dot it on and blend it in for a really natural berry tint. Their face sticks (my favorite is a lip, cheek eye gloss called Ballet) goes on smooth and blends in with just the right amount of tint. A loose gold powder for summer is Diamond Dust , and my newest favorite eye liner is actually an eye shadow Nehru, a dark navy. Wet an eyeliner brush and apply to the upper lid, or dot between the lashes. It goes on almost shimmery. Paint Cosmetiques can be found at (800) 600.3914 or 
d to. Don't squint (which is usually what we do when spraying our face). I found it hard even with the included headwrap to not get the foundation everywhere I didn't want it including eyelashes, lips and brows. Here's a hint for already styled hair. Instead of wrapping the hairline with the included headband - try cove
ring the hair with a lightweight scarf instead. The foundation can be brushed out of brows and you might try leaving it on your lashes and lips as a makeup base. I had better luck with my legs, but then again, a mist of foundation ended up in the bathtub and floor. They want you to spray a small amount into your hand and apply to the undereye area with a finger. So what makes this different from using regular makeup? So, I tested it under my eyes, and the side with Era was more matte and lighter weight than the concealer I used on the other. For a matte finish, use the included puff to buff the foundation in. (although on my dryer skin Era was matte without a puff.) Normal to dry skins need a moisturizer underneath. My skin felt dry after use. The concept is good, and I really like airbrushing makeup for a pixaled effect rather then that of a heavier, greasier makeup application. 10 shades $55 enough for about 8 weeks.
