Hottest Beauty Products For Fall

Fall is in the air. That means it’s going to get cooler soon. It also means that now I can play around with my favorite makeup and beauty products for this season.

NARS Andy Warhol Back Room Nail Polish, a black nail polish perfect for the darker and colder days, is a very mysterious polish… it’s a bit edgy, yet elegant.

NARS Andy Warhol Satellite of Love Highlighting comes from the house of NARS, the masters when it comes to blushes. To combat looking pale in the fall I like to fake it with this one.

Hourglass OPAQUE ROUGE Liquid Lipstick

I already blogged about how much I love the NEW Hourglass OPAQUE ROUGE Liquid Lipstick especially the MUSE shade which is the perfect light coral red. Here’s another favorite shade in EDITION a light pink. The OPAQUE ROUGE has a matte finish, I like to use it with a lip brush, and it is super long lasting.

Absolutley loving the NEW Hourglass OPAQUE ROUGE Liquid Lipstick  especially the Muse (coral) shade. I was craving for the perfect light red coral and viola. And did I say long lasting, this is probably the most long lasting lipgloss I’ve ever owned. It lasts for hours even after drinking and eating. Wow.  Also, this liquid lipstick is Paraben free, fragrance free, sulfate free, phthalate free, and synthetic dye free.

BEAUTY INSPIRATION

“Lea wanted a fresh, flirty and fun Palm Springs look. We wanted to keep it light since the event was during the day but play up the eyes to give it a bit of a sexy feel.”

Hourglass IMMACULATE Liquid Powder Foundation

This Liquid Powder Foundation by Hourglass Cosmetics is brilliant! Matte powdery finish, oil free, fragrance free,water-resistant, synthetic dye-free, gluten free, and vegan. I was looking for a foundation like this one, liquid to powder matte finish and non greasy. It’s super light on the skin and doesn’t feel like you’re wearing a foundation. You can even skip your powder. Marta approves:)

Hourglass Film Noir Lash Lacquer

What I call the NEW Film Noir Lash Lacquer by Hourglass is revolutionary. By introducing a whole new lash makeup category the Lash Top Coat, Lash Paint, or Lash Lacquer. Quite brilliant. I’m wearing it right now and just love it. It adds instant gloss, bold pigment, length, and volume to lashes. Another plus, it doesn’t rub of and is long lasting. The applicator looks like a lip gloss brush or a nail polish brush. You simply paint lashes top and bottom and done. Super drama. You can also apply after a mascara to elongate the outer corner of your lashes. Needles to say, I’m also impressed with the Hourglass Film Noir Full Spectrum Mascara in Onyx. Star products in my option and a must-have for all the lash lovers.

Madonna at the 2011 Met Gala

Hourglass Artistic Director Gina Brooke did Madonna’s makeup for this evening’s “Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty” Costume Institute Gala at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. “The Met Ball is one of fashion’s biggest nights out, and I wanted Madonna’s look to be elegant, timeless and absolutely luminous – inspired by 1930s glamour. The focus is flawless skin and ravishing eyes—Madonna’s gorgeous eyes and lashes are among her best attributes—which always resonate on the red carpet,” says Gina Brooke.

How to get Madonna’s makeup look:

Skin:

Prep skin first with Intraceuticals Rejuvenate Daily Serum to increase vital moisture and visibly revive the complexion. Follow with Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer, a must-have product for any event because it ensures that makeup lasts all night. It also neutralizes the skin, reduces the appearance of fine lines and pores and enables an artist to paint the perfect canvas.
