Hey folks!

So one brand that has a kind of a sleeper status is Laura Mercier.  Professionals have been for years singing the praises of their foundations, including the best-selling Tinted Moisturizer.  Most tinted moisturizers aim to give sheer to light coverage, basically just to brighten the complexion and some evening of the skintone.

Laura Mercier just recently released their liquid tinted moisturizer in a convenient compact!

From PR:

Laura’s latest innovation features a lightweight crème formula that gives skin a dewy, natural-looking finish ideal for all skin types.  With SPF 20 and a hint of color, this portable compact is perfect for travel and touch ups on the go.  It’s a breakthrough for the Flawless Face!

  • A lightweight formula that moisturizes and hydrates the skin
  • Provides sheer to moderate, buildable coverage with a hint of color for a natural look
  • Long wearing formula (6-8 hours) ideal for active lifestyles

[twitter-follow screen_name=’NoireTropicalB’]

The one makeup look that everyone always wants to know how to do is the smoky eye.  It’s dramatic, sexy and versatile.  I have created a very basic, beginner’s smoky eye using only 3 colour products.  This is a quick, out-the-door look that can be used as a base and built up as needed.

Here’s the look!

A bronzey smoky eye!

The key to the smoky is blending…blend, blend and blend some more.  You want a smooth transition from one colour to another without any harsh lines.

I used minimal products – Make Up For Ever Aqua Shadow Waterproof Eye Shadow Pencil in 22E, M.A.C. Feline Eye Pencil and L’Oreal Voluminous False Fiber Lashes mascara.  That’s basically it!!

The products!

Check out my tutorial below!

So OPI is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Bond franchise with a limited edition holiday collection coming out in October called the Skyfall collection.

Inspired by the film’s blend of glamour and danger, OPI launches Skyfall Collection, featuring twelve limited-edition nail lacquers for Holiday 2012. “OPI is thrilled to work with EON Productions to celebrate 50 years of the style, swagger and mystique associated with Bond 007,” said Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI Executive VP & Artistic Director.  “From metallic and glitter finishes to jewel tones and even a jet black, these lacquers capture the film’s sophisticated and glamorous look.

“Watch for Bérénice Marlohe wearing two Skyfall Collection shades in the film,” adds Weiss-Fischmann. “With Skyfall, a rich maroon, painted on top of the nail and GoldenEye, a shimmering gold, painted on the undersides, Marlohe’s luxurious manicure will be the one to try this holiday season.”

There are 12 colours in this collection and there is mix of textures and colours very popular at this time and for the upcoming holiday/fete Noel season!
