Check out Rachel’s tidbits below and if you have any questions or comments, please share!

Rachel says:

• I feel a great mascara can open the eye and instantly make you look as though you’ve have a good night’s sleep, even when that is not the case.  I use 2-3 coats of Lancome Fatale on the top, bottom, and also on the back of the top lashes.
• Because of my Indian ancestry, I love darkly rimmed eyes – a messy eye adds a sexy yet natural look to a classic outfit.  To make the eyes smoky, I use Revlon’s Luxurious Color Kohl eyeliner in Black Truffle on the inside of the lids.
• Bright lipstick is a way to quickly pop an outfit and freshen up a look a la Ava Gardner in “The Barefoot Contessa.”  My favorite bright is MAC’s Morange lipstick – it’s a great way to add a twist to a classic look.
• Another way to make your face pop is to fill in the eyebrows.  I use Bobbi Brown’s eye shadow in Navajo.

If you’d like your shot at makeup infamy  (and five of the lipsticks plus a $500 Lancôme gift certificate for yourself!) visit the Chris Benz Facebook Page and leave a comment on the wall with your idea for the perfect name for his Pout-à-Porter lippie.

To get a little inspiration, visit Style.com for a glimpse at past collections.  But keep in mind, the new shade will be inspired by the Spring 2010 collection and will be worn by the models at the Chris Benz show in September. Deadline for submissions is Sunday, July 12th, at 5 p.m. EST, so get NAMING!

First, Julie applied Lancôme Modèle Sourcils in Naturel to shape and define her brows. She then applied Lancôme Artliner in Noir to her upper lash line. To make Anne’s eyes really pop, Julie coated her lashes with Lancôme Hypnôse mascara to give her lashes extra volume and finish the look. Meanwhile, Anne’s beautiful lips and cheeks were downplayed with just a subtle hint of flush. 

What do you think of Anne’s Tony Awards look?

To define Angelina’s lashes Mary used two different mascaras, Lancôme Hypnôse in Black and Ôscillation in Black and applied a few coats of both to add volume and length. She also used Lancôme Color Design Lipstick in Candy Apple to create her voluptuous red pout.

I think Angelina looked quite lovely in Versace as she walked the red carpet for the premiere of Brad Pitt’s new movie Inglourious Basterds directed by Quentin Tarantino. What do you think of her look?

1) Pick pink for your pout.

2) Arch your brows upward.

3) Don’t outline your lips with a dark liner.

4) Whiten your teeth.

5) Cut some bangs.

6) Switch from powder to cream blush.

7) Soft is better than hard (makeup).

8) Illumination is better than darkness (face, hair).

9) Moist is better than dry (skin, lips, eyes).

10) Slim is better than heavy (eyeliner, clothing).

If you’d like to learn from the master (Krupp, that is) in person, she’ll be signing copies tomorrow, May 4th, from 3 to 5 p.m., at the Saks Fifth Avenue Lancôme counter in New York City. The personal appearance is part of Lancôme’s “Ageless Beauty Secrets Event” featuring new skincare innovations, mini-facials and makeup touch-ups.

Juicy Tubes are among my favorite glosses (I have several in my stash) thanks to their yummy scents, healthy pop of color and thick, slightly tacky consistency that stays put.  PURE are no different. Available in six shades, you’re sure to find (at least) one to love.

Juicy Tubes PURE are even packaged in a 100% recycled box, so you can feel a little prettier on the inside about your purchase!  Shop the collection at www.lancome-usa.com.

Here’s what I’ve tried:

Color Fever Gloss in Sunray (iridescent) and Seashell (fuchsia): Do not be afraid of Seashell. In the glass tube it appears hot pink, but once applied it is a nice berry color. For me as the time wore on, it had more of a flushed lip color to it. Sunray looks great alone or paired over lipstick.

Color Fever Shine Lipstick in Desert Rose (mauve) and Luminous (iridescent). Wow does Luminous pack some serious sparkle. Not only do you get the shine from the iridescent color, but then you have the mica twinkling on your lips.

These products won’t last long–they are only available through January 2008. You can see all the colors in the collection at www.lancome-usa.com and at a Lancome boutique near you.
