The latest makeup from AVON is the Supershock Liquid Lip Shine. I find this lip gloss collection very silky to apply and super glossy. I have tried the Pumped Up Plum and Tickled Pink shades but have my eyes on the Popsicle shade which looks like watermelon red to me. The lip shine applicator is over-sized and very impressive.

Expert Makeup Tip: ”I love the versatility Supershock Lip shine offers…To create the perfect pout, use the new Supershock applicator for a bold, high impact look.”-Jillian Dempsey, AVON Global Creative Director and Hollywood Makeup Artist.

Available June 2011 for $8 exclusively through AVON representative.

My latest great lipgloss find: Buxom Lips in Debbie a light coral pink shade. It’s not greasy, it’s cooling, long lasting, smooths the lips for and I love it. Buxom is a Bare Escentuals prodigy. In terms of plumping I’ve always been a skeptical to whether plumping lip treatments or lipgloss works or not. Also I have full natural lips already so I never see whether its the lipgloss or maybe I was just born with it LOL. All I know it feels & looks good. Isn’t it what’s it all about?

Beauty Obsessions: Lip Gloss & Body Shimmer. I’m currently obsessed with Urban Decay Lip Love Honey-Infused Lip Therapy a lip tint infused with a honey flavor, natural oils, and collagen-boosting vitamin C. I smelled it in ULTA and I LOVE the honey smell and it also seems to have nice ingredients such as: jojoba, and apricot kernel seed oils that work together to moisturize, replenish and promote cell turnover. This is the same honey scent as Urban Decays’s old classic Sparkling Lickable Body Powder in Honey which I’ve been using for years now.

Urban Decay Lip Love Honey-Infused Lip Therapy smells yummy!

Lip Treatment. I’m not an organic freak but every once in a while I do get conscious about all the chemicals I inhale just to get my lips glossy. My latest find for a more natural lip gloss is KORRES lip butters. Formulated without Petro-Chemicals and Sulfates. Favorite shades: Pomegranate (sheer coral) and Quince (sheer rose).

KORRES Lip Butter the more natural alternative to lip gloss

Get The Look: Lucy Hales‘ makeup from the 2010 Teen Choice Awards! Hales stars in the new ABC Family series Pretty Little Liars.

“Pretty Little Liars” actress Lucy Hale made her mark on the red carpet at the 2010 Teen Choice Awards. mark Celebrity Makeup Artist Mai Quynh shares with Talking Makeup her expert makeup tips for recreating Lucy’s gorgeous makeup look!

How To Makeup Tutorial

Eyes

“To begin, I used the mark Concealer Brush to apply the bronze shade from mark Keep It Going Longwear Eyeliner & Shadow in Surreal to her lashline and blended upwards to the crease. Next, I applied a top coat of mark I-Mark Custom Pick Eye Shadow in Gioia into the crease and smudged up to her brow bone. Next, I lined both her upper and bottom lashline with mark I-Mark Custom Pick Eye Shadow in Java using the mark Flat Eyeliner Brush. To add an extra hint of drama, I lined her inner lids with mark Eyemarker Color On Line in Jet and finished with two coats of mark Make It Big Lash Plumping Mascara in Raven.”

Face

“I prepped Lucy’s face by applying mark Face Xpert Flawless Touch Makeup in Golden with the mark Foundation Brush to even out her skin tone. Next, I dabbed mark Good Riddance Hook Up Concealer in Light/Medium under her eyes, blending it in with the mark Concealer Brush. For her cheeks, I used the mark Foundation Brush to apply mark Just Pinched Instant Blush in Peachy to the apples of her cheeks. I then dusted a light coating of mark Matte-nificent Oil-Absorbing Powder to eliminate any excess shine in her t-zone. I then swept a combination of mark Bronze Pro Bronzing Powder in Pro Golden and mark Glowdacious Illuminating Powder in Shimmied Up with the mark Powder Brush to accentuate the contours of her face and add a gorgeous radiance.”

Lips

“I used mark Juice Jems Lip Gloss in Juicy Fig to give Lucy’s lips the perfect amount of color and shine, without looking overdone.”

Get Angelina Jolie’s makeup look in SALT with Chantecaille Brilliant Gloss, $28. On the set of the soon to be released action packed thriller, SALT, Angelina Jolie’s personal makeup artist, Toni G enhanced the already gorgeous lips with Chantecaille Brilliant Gloss in Charm. Toni G says, “The formula is beautiful and it kept her lips in WAY better condition than any lip balm.”

Brilliant Gloss contains vegetal-based cross-linked sugars that naturally and safely plump lips. Microspheres of organic, soothing wheat protein penetrate the skin, allowing lips to absorb a significant quantity of water, gently swelling them, increasing volume, and filling in tiny vermillion wrinkles. An innovative jellified system of elastic polymers and shiny emollient oil creates long- lasting wear, so there is no need for constant re- application. The softest of brushes ensures ultra-smooth application that’s never sticky.

Available at Barneys New York, Bergdorf Goodman, Frédéric Fekkai Salons, Neiman Marcus, select Saks Fifth Avenue locations, Jeffrey New York, Space NK, Nordstrom and www.Chantecaille.com

In Marta Walsh makeup bag: MAC Pro Longwear Lustre Lipcolour in Sappho (left side) and Mirror (right side). I apply Mirror the white shimmery side on top of Sappho or any other lip gloss and it makes my lip gloss LASTS a lot longer if I wouldn’t! Love love love.

MAC Prep + Prime Skin Brightening Serum is like liquid silk which works amazing under makeup or without. It has already found a place in MAC Senior Artist Romero Jennings‘ makeup kit. “The brightening serum adds a great slip to the foundation, so it glides on easily, and almost seems to ill in depressed areas with hydration,” he says.
