Top 10 Makeup Products
I compiled a list of my top 10 makeup products of the week in my first Marta Walsh video blog.
You are going to see more of these videos of me talking about makeup, skincare, and just my adventures as a beauty blogger and an interviewer for BeautyInterviews.com
Because this was my first video blog I only mentioned 9 products instead of 10. Sorry everyone, but here it is, product number 10: Function Self-Adjusting Powder Foundation in Light L1-L2 by Smashbox Cosmetics. It is on my top 10 list of the week because it gives my skin great coverage in no time. I use it with different brushes to achieve different finishes. Big powder brush all over my face and a small brush under my eyes and around the nose and moth.
List of products in the video include:
1. Pigment in Gold Mode by MAC Cosmetics.

Jennifer Lopez Launches Deseo For Men
Jennifer Lopez Launches Deseo For Men. Jennifer Lopez was seen today promoting Deseo for Men, a new fragrance for men, at Macy’s Herald Square in NYC.
And I suspect a trend alert: red lips. I love it! It’s about time we see lips accentuated as oppose to played down with pale shades of lipstick or lipgloss.
Clean eye makeup, with long lashes of course, and a red lipstick will brighten any face. I really think I’m on to something here.
Try Mattene Lipstick in Classic Dame by MAC Cosmetics, I wear it a lot lately and I love it, it’s very alluring. Anyways, Jennifer Lopez aka JLo looks fabulous!
How To Apply Mineral Makeup by Gordon Espinet VP Global Makeup Artistry MAC Worldwide
Here is a quick interview with Gordon Espinet VP Global Makeup Artistry MAC Worldwide, on Mineral Makeup 101 and on how to apply:
Q: Why is mineral makeup such a huge trend right now?
A: For a long time, women have wanted an alternative to the heavy powders and foundations that are on the market. They want their skin to be flawless but not made up and mineral products fit that need. We of course still have plenty of customers who cannot live without their full coverage, but that is why M·A·C is the makeup authority, we have something for everyone. It’s about having choices.
Q: Do you apply mineral makeup differently than non-mineral makeup?
A: Mineral makeup is no different than any other makeup when it comes to application techniques. The difference is in the final look. Mineral makeup provides a more natural appearance and always looks perfectly applied. As with all makeup, be sure that you choose the correct colours and begin with less product as it is easier to add product than it is to remove excess.
