Beauty Mark It Results: The Shade You Looked For All Your Life
Beauty Digest, beauty mark it results No Comments »
Last week, I told you about my receptionist friend who was overjoyed about a lipstick I was applying. While waiting for my hair appointment to start, I nonchalantly swept copperish berry shade across my lips. "What is that color?" she shrieked in excitement. "It's the shade I've been looking for all my life!" When it comes to finding the perfect shade, who can hold back?
All of us have had that aha moment — when you know you've hit gold (or mauve or peach or berry). I asked you to share with me your own perfect shade. TeamSugar member rhodes18 suggests MAC's Powder Blush in Fleur Power ($18). "This blush is my go-to shade for a warm, flushed glow," she says.
Thanks for all of your awesome ideas this week — I'll be filing many of them into my must-have list. Check out my widget below for of all the shades you suggested:
Love It or Hate It: Jessica Szohr’s Faux ‘Locks
Beauty Digest, Celebrity Poll, Gossip Girl, Jessica Szohr, Love It or Hate It No Comments »In the last few days, Jessica Szohr (that's Vanessa to you Gossip Girl fans) has been wearing her long black hair twisted in dreadlock-esque formations. (It doesn't seem like she's had long enough to actually perfect dreadlocks, which take months to cultivate). What do you think: sexy earth girl or just messy?
Doing Drugstore: Revlon Universal Points Sharpener

Some were just too ill equipped for the job — like the one that was too small. Others were just dull and made an unnecessary mess. Then, there was the poor one that suffered "accidental death by stiletto" during one particular mad morning gotta get to work rush. The latest victim pulled a Houdini, and I'm still trying to figure that one out.
I'm referring to pencil sharpeners, of course. (Wasn't it obvious?) As I sit here contemplating the many cosmetic pencil sharpeners that have come and gone in my days, from one apartment move to the next, and one vanity set to another, I think I have found a new love.
When it comes to sharpeners, Revlon's Universal Points Sharpener ($3.49) is right on — it fits all the pencils, both chunky and skinny. It produces a precise cut, which after all is the whole, uh, point. Shavings and gunky pencil contents? Not a problem, as it comes with a detachable cover for easy clean up. If only it could withstand the crush of a high-heeled woman — now that would be a sharp improvement.
While I lay on the spa bed, my facialist peered at me and delivered the diagnosis:
"En-larrrrggged pores," she said.
I left and called Cristina Bartolucci. Before she co-founded DuWop, she was a makeup artist for film and television, you know, where pores are banned from the set.
Here's her quick-fix:
"Immediately after washing your face, apply a very"—very, she stresses—"light dusting of translucent powder before foundation or tinted moisturizer. It fills in pores without looking cake-y."
It sounded crazy—the moisturizer-over-powder thing seemed like a mess—but I tried it. As long as you use a light hand, it works. My secret is a really soft brush for the sheerest coverage.
With the Bare Escentuals Angled Face Brush (it's really good at getting around the nose), and ultra-light Shiseido Luminizing Color Powder, the results were as flawless as promised.
The whole operation was quicker than using a liquid primer, and feels much more natural, too. One more trick in my bag of.
