Benefit Girl Meets Pearl: Liquid Pearl for Your Face
I am generally skeptical about illuminizers. They all seem about the same to me. And they don’t tend to work well with powder foundations, which I wear habitually. But Benefit’s new Girl Meets Pearl, a liquid pearl for you face, is pretty darn beautiful. You can use it under your foundation as a primer, or straight over, on the apples of your cheeks, bridge of your nose and even your cupid’s bow (above your lip).…Read More
NARS Pro Prime Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base

At this point I only use pencil eyeliners when I’m lazy or rushed. When I am taking time and putting care into my makeup look, I only use gel or pot eyeliners. I just love the way you can control the look so completely with the brush. The newest on in my makeup holster (if you will) is Tarte’s EmphasEYES Waterproof Clay Shadow/liner. I got to try it in brown, which was good, since I only…Read More
