Almay Smart Shade Anti-Aging Makeup
Friday, October 22nd, 2010
Many foundations are great at hiding wrinkles, but as the day progresses the foundation starts to settle in fine lines and wrinkles, which does more emphasizing than hiding. A great alternative is Almay’s Smart Shade Anti-Aging Makeup. This is a sheer to medium coverage foundation that not only won’t settle in fine lines, it actually improves their appearance. We liked the matte finish of this foundation and the lightweight feel. The product goes on white, and then transforms to a shade that matches your skin tone. Women who need darker shades may be disappointed, this product only comes in Light, Light Medium, and Medium. Also, we don’t recommend this product if you like full coverage.

Revlon Beyond Natural Defining Mascara
Sunday, December 27th, 2009
We’ve found mascara that isn’t so thick that it clumps but doesn’t have so much liquid that it smudges. We liked the Revlon Beyond Natural Defining Mascara creamy formula, because you can layer without clumping. This mascara also has a unique brush so you can actually comb through your lashes. The result is very natural looking; we suggest this product for when you’re going to be outside or for work.

Maybelline Mineral Power Natural Perfecting Concealer
Saturday, December 26th, 2009
Usually concealers thick enough to cover dark eye circles are creamy and not really appropriate for blemishes. We liked Maybelline Mineral Power Natural Perfecting Concealer because it hid our dark circles completely, but since it’s oil, talc, and fragrance free, we could use it on other imperfections. Now we don’t need two concealers- we can see why this product won beauty awards from Oprah Magazine and Marie Claire.

Maybelline Moisture Extreme Lipcolor
Saturday, December 19th, 2009
We all know by now that sunscreen is a must, but many people are unaware of just how much to apply. You need about a teaspoon for your face, and a shot glass for your body. It’s a lot of rubbing in, but it’s necessary to get the coverage you need. And don’t forget to protect your lips. We like Maybelline Moisture Extreme Lipcolor. It has an SPF of 15, and with 56 shades every woman is bound to find her perfect color. It also moisturizes like a lip balm, so you don’t have to worry about the heat parching your lips.

Maybelline Expertwear Eye Shadow
Friday, December 18th, 2009
When you’re tired, adding a touch of shimmer eyeshadow on the inner corner of the eyes can make you look refreshed. A golden color is great for darker complexions, and for pale complexions try a silvery shade. We really liked the 50 Sunlit Bronze Maybelline Expertwear Eye Shadow Quad for the summer. Each shadow is marked with the best part of the eye to apply the colors. Best of all, it’s crease and fade resistant, a must in this hot weather.
