Get Cheeky With Benefit’s New CORALista

Beth Bender — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 01:54:38 +0000

It’s not often that I find a cheek color that I absolutely fall in love with instantly, but CORALista from Benefit has won my heart over, and is the perfect shade to pop any cheeks with a splash of color.

If the color and design doesn’t make you feel like you’re on a tropical get-away, it will once you wear it. Sweep this coral pink powder onto your cheeks anytime, and anywhere with a custom designed brush for an easy application. Also a great color to wear over your favorite bronzer for a real looking St Tropez tan.

To apply CORALista color powder, start at the apple of cheeks first and blend up into hairline. Make sure to tap off the brush before applying and layering for more color. As I mentioned in a previous post, wearing bronzing powder alone can sometimes wash you out and leave your complexion looking dull. By adding just a touch of color blush to the cheeks you will instantly pull the look together.

Spring’s Sexiest Makeup Tips

Beth Bender — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 12:29:35 +0000

Spring is almost here and with that comes all of the trends straight off the runways and into the pages of beauty magazines everywhere. We all know that a wash of a shimmery shadow on your top eyelids is pretty, and that’s all there is to it. But the latest trend that makeup pros are doing for spring is sweeping the same shade beneath the eyes for a look that is extremely feminine and glowy 24/7.

To create this look on yourself I suggest using your fingers for a sheer application especially on the lids, and for extra pigment an eyeshadow brush is perfect. You can use the same brush to sweep the color underneath the eye too. For a beautiful glow on the lids try using an eyeshadow in a light shimmer. Lavender is very pretty and looks great on both light and dark complexions. It’s also less messy and so gorgeous for spring, and yes, women in their 30’s and 40’s can wear colors like this. I do and have been for years.

I know what you’re thinking, I could never wear this at my age, but yes you can. You don’t have to use the exact colors as seen above but something fun for a night out with the girls. Why not? To get this stylin’ look start by adding a pink or purple shadow at your eye’s inner corner blending it up and slightly over the crease of eye. You can use pinks and purples in lighter shade if you prefer.

Next, swipe a shimmery gray or silver below your eye and extend to the outer corner blending up into the crease. A blender brush or medium sized eyeshadow brush is the easiest way to achieve this. For a softer line underneath the eyes smudge with a Q-tip, and get Rock Star lashes by applying a tight black gel liner on the top lids and two coats of mascara. Lash clusters on the ends of each eye are opptional:-)

For lips that scream to be noticed slick on a cream formula right from the tube and use a Q-tip dipped in a bit of face cream to wipe away any smudges. Brush on a pale pink gloss, and for those who desire a fuller lower lip add a touch of a light shimmer powder to the middle of lips. Much easier than a collagen injection, and just as sexy. Finish by applying a concealer with a concealer brush all around your mouth. It gives your lips great definition and perfection without using a lip pencil.
