La Prairie Colour Ambassador Raychel Wade

Raychel’s expertise is in sizing up women’s “makeup personalities” based on their lifestyles, then helping them edit their makeup bags to streamline keepers and fill in the holes of anything that’s missing. From CEOs to recent college grads, brides to baby boomers, Raychel’s worked her makeup magic on them all!

Raychel’s kicking off her official partnership with La Prairie at Saks Fifth Avenue New York during their annual “Brushes with Greatness” event (Wed. July 15 with a bonus day of Raychel on Thur.

Plumage de Nuit is a complete colour story with products for the eyes, face, cheeks and lips. The collection (each item under $70) showcases an essential array of rich autumn colours encased in La Prairie’s signature, status symbol-esque silver beaded compacts. The must-have item in the collection, according to Raychel Wade?

In fact, kids (and parents) come into my salons everyday with pages torn out of magazines, asking for styles that the children of celebrities are sporting. I consider this trend part of what I call the ‘Mini Metro’ phenomenon on, a new wave of youthful image consciousness in which kids really want to look their best and learn how to style their hair themselves.”

Get Bethenny Frankel’s Las Vegas Look: with Rain Cosmetics

The look designed for Bethenny was inspired by sexy, modern Vegas style with clean liner on the eyes, flawless skin, and soft cheeks.

To get the look:

· Bethenny’s gorgeous eyes: Start with eyes first so that any eye shadow that falls around the eye can be easily cleaned up. For Bethenny’s eyes use Rain Cosmetics’ Silky Eye Shadow palette in Sky/Poetry. These natural colors give a nice nude base for the eyeliner.

Next, line eyes with Rain Cosmetics’ Expressive Eye Liner in Black. For smooth precise application of eye liner, warm up the pencil formula by rubbing the liner back and forth on your hand before apply to your eyes.

· Bethenny’s flawless face: To keep skin looking natural yet flawless, use Rain Cosmetics’ Perfect Cream Foundation and set the foundation with Rain Cosmetics’ Setting Loose Powder using a large powder puff. Apply Rain Cosmetics’ Glowing Blush in Strip Tease to the apples of the cheeks for a soft natural flush.

· For Bethenny’s perfect pouty lips, use Rain Cosmetics’ Expressive Lip Pencil in Sweet and line both top and bottom lip. Then use Rain Cosmetics’ Glam Lipstick in Rehab to give her a soft pretty pout. To top of the look, use Rain Cosmetics’ Sexy Extreme Lip Gloss in Encore for the perfect sexy shine.

Bethenny Frankel interview with Marta Walsh

As a city built on water, Venice was a source of great intrigue for Gabrielle Chanel. She saw it as simultaneously dramatic and fragile – qualities she herself possessed. With the imagination of the CHANEL Makeup Studio, Venice comes to life in a palette reflective of the city’s shimmering facades and mosaics, and the sparkling aquatic colours of its lagoons. As seen in the runway looks created by Peter Philips, Global Creative Director of CHANEL Makeup, at the 2009/10 Cruise Collection show, held on the beaches of Venice, Italy, rich sienna and deep rose tones, and dusky greys and greens combine for a modern look that can be softened for day or emboldened come evening.

EXCLUSIVE CREATION:

EYE GLOSS LUMINOUS CREAM QUADRA EYE SHADOW Limited Edition

CHANEL makeup innovation puts glowing new emphasis on the eyes with a gel-cream texture that blends from sheer to intense. The subtle luminous sheen has a surprisingly and decidedly sophisticated effect.

ROUGE ALLURE Luminous Satin Lip Colour arrives in Intuitive, a pinkish brown; Clandestine, a rich brick shade; Captive, a classic brown; Amusing, a rosewood tone; Comedia, a true rose; and Instinctive, a perfect pink nude. Lips glimmer with LÈVRES SCINTILLANTES Glossimer in Courtisane, a natural pink, and Arelequin, a glossy gold. Finally, define the mouth with LE CRAYON LÈVRES Precision Lip Definer in Praline d’Or, a golden-hued nude.

EYES: Create a subtle or more dramatic look with LES 4 OMBRES Quadra Eye Shadow in Murano, a palette with shades of moss, pink and seafoam, and green shimmer. The latest IRRÈELLE DUO Silky Eyeshadow Duo arrives in Acqua Alta, a pairing of white and grey shadows.
