I keep my hair beautiful thanks to… Frederick Fekkai glossing shampoo and conditioner and glossing cream (but to be honest I only wash my hair maybe twice a week)

My favorite skin care products are… Pat Wexlar exfoliating cleanser with acnostat – I’ve been using this face wash for years and haven’t had a breakout since!

I get my eyelashes looking long, full and sexy using… Chanel Inimitable

The best lip gloss I ever owned… Nars Turkish Delight

Few weeks ago I had an amazing opportunity to interview Kendra Wilkinson for www.beautyinterviews.com and find out about her beauty secrets.

Here it is, my interview with Kendra Wilkinson!

Kendra Wilkinson is best known for her role on the E! reality series The Girls Next Door as Hugh Hefner’s third girlfriend after Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt.

Wilkinson met Hugh Hefner at his 78th birthday party in April 2004, where she was hired to be one of the “painted girls”. Hefner had apparently seen her picture, shot by photographer Kim Riley, on a fax machine at the Playboy Mansion and wanted to know who she was. Shortly after they met, Hefner asked Wilkinson to be one of his girlfriends and he moved her into the Playboy Mansion. Kendra is now engaged to Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Hank Baskett.

In this interview Kendra Wilkinson shares her beauty secrets with Marta Walsh.

MAC Studio Sculpt Foundation SPF 15 Q&A With Gordon Espinet Vice President Global Makeup Artistry MAC Worldwide.

Q: How does this formula perform differently from other foundations in the M·A·C line?
Studio Sculpt is incredibly versatile, which makes it unique for many reasons, since its texture is silky and creamy, gliding effortlessly onto skin while providing a natural, velvety finish that’s both modern and natural. It can be blended with moisturizer for a more sheer finish that’s never streaky, or combined with concealer for more full coverage. Create a matte finish by applying powder afterwards, or use Studio Sculpt alone to emphasize skin’s natural sheen and highlights.

Q: Why was this product key for you and your team during fashion week? Has Studio Sculpt been used in any photo shoots?
We have anxiously wanted to offer a foundation that leaves skin looking well-hydrated and completely nourished, and can stand up to being used in various ways. Studio Sculpt can be sheered out or used with powder; it always looks flawless, which is a backstage dream. It is the perfect formula for both film and digital photography, in black and white or color. It’s extremely user-friendly, and the finish remains true and consistent in both color and texture.

MAC Studio Sculpt Foundation SPF 15 Q&A With Nick Gavrelis Vice President Global Product Development, Face & Pro MAC Cosmetics.

Q: Talk about the development process for Studio Sculpt Foundation SPF 15. What was the need you were filling? Was it due to demand from customers, makeup artists, or both?
It began about two and a half years ago. M·A·C artists all around the globe helped identify the need for a new kind of cream foundation. We wanted it to give a long-lasting, medium-coverage yet buildable finish, with long term hydrating benefits. We went into the lab aiming to create a formula with modern aspects, like a gel base, combined with a very luxurious, rich, creamy feel. It had to have the wear, flexibility and flawlessness that our makeup artists demanded, as well as the comfort, moisturization, smoothing and perfecting qualities that real women have been asking for.

Q: How many seasons did you test Studio Sculpt backstage?
The Spring/Summer 2009 Fashion Week that took place this past September and October was the third and final season of testing done by the M·A·C Pro Team. Their passionate feedback helped us adjust and ultimately perfect the formula. For example, we tweaked the way the product glides onto the skin, which ultimately improved the blending time customers experience when applying Studio Sculpt.

Skindinavia Makeup Finishing Spray: Skindinavia’s Makeup Finishing Spray resists make-up melting, smearing, and color loss by using nano-technology to create a new standard. It is a weightless spray-on mist that not only cools make-up surface temperatures to help resist the effects of indoor/outdoor heat and environmental humidity, but also gives skin and makeup a flawless finish.

Skindinavia’s proprietary cooling technology is what makes the product so effective. Working in much the same way as refrigeration, make-up stays longer and fresher on the face. It is important to note that the Makeup Finishing Spray does not chill your skin, only the make-up. Pigment-dispersion helps spread the make-up color evenly and completely. This means no more clumps, blotches, or lumps of color to deal with. Instead you are able to adhere to that “blend-blend-blend” mantra of top make-up pros without all the time, energy, and skill usually required. In other words, an airbrushed look that lasts for 12 hours!
