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.

CHANEL Introduces Fall 2009 Venice Makeup Collection

CHANEL Introduces Fall 2009 Venice Makeup Collection:

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.

Bobbi Brown Nude Collection

I love wearing nude makeup all year around and especially in summer. This is why I’m so excited about Bobbi Brown’s latest nude makeup collection. What’s so great about nude makeup? Well, I can wear it during the day at work all the way into dinner time. It looks clean, soft, and neutral (goes with any outfit). I can’t never get tired of the nude makeup look!

Here the highlights:

Bobbi Brown Nude Eye Palette: Bobbi Brown’s newest take on nude makeup—a concept she created. ‘Nude makeup doesn’t mean monochromatic, barely-there makeup. It means makeup that’s right for your skin,’ says Bobbi.

Fall’s must-have eye palette takes you effortlessly from day to night with a sophisticated and universally flattering selection of nude shadows in three different textures: soft matte, lightly pearlized and metallic high-shimmer. Three eyeshadow duos come in a customizable 3-Pan Palette, which can also be filled with your choice of any Bobbi Brown eyeshadow or blush shades. Color duos included are Navajo/Pebble, Chino/Beige Linen Wash and Maple Sugar/Caviar. All shades exclusive to this set. SRP: $60.

Allen Goldman Founder of Skindinavia Interview with Marta Walsh

I’ve recently interviewed the man behind Skindinavia, Allen Goldman.

In this interview Allen Goldman talks to me about the creation of Skindinavia, also known as “The Original Makeup Saver”, and what makes it an essential beauty product in every girl’s makeup bag. His philosophy about beauty. New Skindinavia product in the making for 2010: a simple mist that gives your makeup a sun kissed glow all winter! And his love for travel.


Allen Goldman

Marta Walsh: When did your passion for the beauty industry begin?
Allen Goldman: My passion for science has been around since I was very young. I credit my brother for bringing it to beauty when he developed a number of new transdermal technologies with a research partner at MIT. It was so exciting to see science that had never been done before. So many people believe “everything” has already been discovered. It hasn’t.


Skindinavia Makeup Finishing Spray

MW: How was the concept for Skindinavia born?
AG: Skindinavia was born from a lot of listening at makeup counters. I was the Director of Education for another skin care company dealing with top spas and prestige retailers globally. When we started, we had only four products. One was a light spray moisturizer that hydrated amazingly well.
