Holiday Look Featuring Prescriptives

Prescriptives announced a few months ago that it will no longer be in stores come january 31, 2010 (sigh...), but their makeup is still around now (and will be online while supplies last). in fact, they just released the Lustre Holiday Collection, featuring baked shadows, lip glosses, liners and shimmering cheek colors.

so here i am sporting a fun, smokey eye look using the Cool Lustre Baked Eye Color Quad, Shimmering Cheek Color in Cool and Reflective Gloss in Ruby. i also used Longwear Kohl Liner in Black and ColorScope Lipcolor in Posh Honey, a limited edition lipstick from their fall '09 Well-Suited collection.



btw, the roses in the back were given to me by my fabulous hubby. at the time i took this pic, they were almost 2 weeks old-- aren't they pretty? :)

visit prescriptives.com to view the entire Lustre Holiday collection and stock up on your faves before they're gone forever!

Get the Look: Vera Farmiga at the Orphan Premiere

Vera Farmiga, star of the uber-scary-looking new flick, Orphan (seriously, the trailer alone freaked me out!), attended tuesday night's premiere with a radiant glow, thanks to a visit to the ARCONA facial studio in santa monica where she received their signature Facial Contouring & Enzyme Peel.

Vera's makeup look was created by celeb makeup artist Tina Turnbow, who was inspired by Vera’s gorgeous ivory Versace gown-- not to mention and her beautiful glowing skin. to compliment them both, Tina created a soft look using gold and peach tones, with a shot of orange on her lips.




skin: Tina prepped Vera's skin by first cleansing it with ARCONA’s Triad Pads. she then spritzed ARCONA's Mineral Magic and applied ARCONA's Peptide Hydrating Complex to hydrate her skin thoroughly. "i loved using Mineral Magic on Vera's skin. it gave it a nice luminescent quality!" said Tina.

foundation: because Vera's skin had a natural glow, Tina kept the coverage to a minimum by using ARCONA’s Sunsations Mineral Makeup in Ivory Seychelles.



cheeks: Tina used Tarte Cheek Stain in Tipsy to add light peach tones to her skin.

undereye: Tina dabbed a bit of ARCONA’s Eye Dew to retain moisture.

eyeshadow & liner: Tina created a dewy eye using gold and brown with Nars Duo Eye Shadow in Star Sailor. she then softly defined her eyes with Almay Blendable Eye Pencil in brown.



mascara: for seductively lush and lengthy lashes, Tina applied Prescriptives Lash Envy mascara in brown.

lips: Tina added a dash of color with a matte lip by Nars in Heat Wave.

Be Camera-Ready With Prescriptives

these days cosmetics are working overtime to provide amazing coverage so you always look your best, especially in photos. Prescriptives has released an amazing group of products to ensure you'll always be camera ready, because let's face it, we take and have our pictures taken all the time.

here's Prescriptives' prescription for creating a flawless face (try saying that three times fast!):



start with Flawless Face Primer to give your skin a smoother, more even texture. this weightless formula not only reduces the look of fine lines and wrinkles, but it helps makeup look absolutely flawless throughout the day and night.




be camera shy no more when using Photochrome Light-Adjusting Compact Makeup SPF 15. with its light-reflecting photo-friendly particles to diffuse glare, it softens the look of lines and wrinkles to help you look your best...even on hi-def t.v.!



a zoom lens can cause a bit of stress (eeek! too close!), but Prescriptives' Custom Blend Concealer is specifically meant to cover what you want to hide and finish your look-- it's the final touch in achieving skin perfection.

i don't know about you, but these products sound amazing! i will be bringing you a formal review of the Photochrome Light-Adjusting Compact Makeup SPF 15 soon, so stay tuned!
