Two Nudes To Get Into

PUR MiNERALS Mineral Lip Tint SPF 15 in Sandy Quartz ($16.50 @ purminerals.com) from the Spring 2008 color collection. Sheer nude with a slight hint of iridescence.

SHU UEMURA has THE perfect pinky-nude lipstick included in their latest collection. I find most nudes too chalky or matte. Basically too there! This Rouge Unlimited in Serene Pink from the Rebirth Collection balances matte and glossy for the perfect smooth finish. And nude lips are so in right now. $23 @ sephora.com

Red, Red Lips Part II – More To Make Your Heart Pitter Patter

In continuing our fall feature of Red, Red Lips, have you noticed they are everywhere? Keep in mind that looks in the tube can be deceiving and you only truly know a shade’s coverage once you apply it.

Here are our October picks for Red, Red Lips (Clockwise from Left). ~Lisa

1. Intensely dark and mystifying is the color Cassis from BOBBI BROWN. This is a mixture of dark berry red with a touch of claret and brown. This Lip Color Lipstick is a semi-matte with creamy rich full coverage. $21 @ bobbibrowncosmetics.com
2. BOURJOiS Lovely Rouge Satin Lipstick in Rouge Best is a deep cherry red for medium to fair complexions (blue undertones) from the Lovely Rouge Line. It’s super creamy and one of the sexiest reds around! $14 @ sephora.com
3. Berry reds look great with the gray we are all wearing for fall. Carnelian Whisper from ViNCENT LONGO fits the bill perfectly. The Velvet Riche Rejuvenating Lipstick collection brings us emollient lotion like lipstick. Mmm… $23 @ sephora.com
4. Start your engines with Race Car Red from PRESCRiPTiVES Colorscope Lipcolor. This long lasting creamy formula is full of pigment for a vibrant apple red hue. $17.50 @ prescriptives.com
5. I call this a classic Marilyn Monroe red, but its official name from MAKE-UP DESiGNORY is Lady Bug Lipstick. This is a satin formula but it gives a matte full coverage finish. $18.50 @ mudshop.com
6. It’s absolutely FAB. British Red from the L’OREAL Colour Riche collection is one for all seasons. It’s a gorgeous red with a bit of orange that will work with all skin tones. Wear creamy moisturizing color from the sassy gold case. And it has a fragrance that reminds me of lipsticks from long ago… $8.49 @ walgreens.com
7. In the matte category, I am loving FACE ATELiER in Strawberry Lipstick from the Power Play collection. It’s a true intense matte look, but not drying at all! You will get noticed with this color! Blow strawberry red kisses to your fans. $20 @ faceatelier.com
8. Imagine red and brown/brick together. Imagine this color with a stunning mossy green tweed suit. Run right out to get SHiSEiDO The Makeup Perfecting Lipstick in P7 (Red Luxe). Rich with 3 D Powder and Full Saturated Color Powder, this one’s a winner. $22 @ sephora.com
9. ISADORA Cream Intensive Lipstick is fragrance free and color rich! Golden Red is a red/coral shimmer for the days when you want a less intense red. It’s just what it says it is, creamy with intense moisturizing color. $10.49 @ walgreens.com
10. Mineral Shea Butter Lipstick. Yeh baby! Glide on the shade Red Ruby from PUR MiNERALS and you’ll feel the difference. Red Ruby is an intense dark scarlet red. Best for medium to olive skin tones. $15 @ purminerals.com

Fall Color Pick - Mossy Green

I consider greens, as in mossy greens, a very neutral color. They are so earthy, warm and natural that they could take the place of nudes in most cases. Olive, tarragon, and the creatively named products below, all make up our 2^nd Fall Color Pick, Mossy Green.

All About Eyes

Here are some special products to address eye concerns and helps us with lines, wrinkles and dark circles. JOEY NEW YORK Firm and Tone Eye Cream ($30/.5oz @ joeynewyork.com) should be patted on and pressed in and around the eye area for hydrating and helping diminish appearance of fine lines and shadows. It’s very rich, but definitely not greasy! Great to use before makeup application.

PUR MiNERALS Mineral Eye Prep ($17 @ purminerals.com) in fast becoming a morning staple. After you moisturize and before you apply your eye shadow, give this wand a try. The Eye Prep will serve as a primer, neutralize eyelid color and provide antioxidant protection.

BOBBI BROWN brings our eyes into the lightness of being, with the aptly named Eye Brightener ($32/.24 oz @ bobbibrown.com). A very small amount of this light pink cream will not only hide dark circles but also lighten the entire eye area, which makes you look more refreshed.

SKiN MEDiCA Uplifting Eye Serum ($45.60/.5oz) has vitamins and botanical antioxidants to hydrate and lift the sensitive skin around the eyes while reducing appearance of puffiness, circles and fine lines. A great companion to this is their TNS Illuminating Eye Cream ($66.50/.5oz) which smoothes and brightens the sensitive tissue around the eyes. I use this on top of the serum and it helps your makeup go on flawlessly. Both @ amazon.com ~Feature by Lisa
