Drugstore Gems. L’Oreal Paris Magic Smooth Soufflé and L’Oreal Paris True Match Naturale Gentle Mineral Makeup SPF 19. I was recently on a desperate search for the right foundation for my face. Sometimes it happens to the best of us when nothing works for some reason. I was looking for a gentle foundation that is easy and not too messy to apply. Not too oily and shiny and not too dry either. I found Magic Smooth Soufflé and True Match Naturale Gentle Mineral Makeup. I also found the perfect shade for me Sun Beige which suites my light olive skin so it doesn’t make me look too pale.

Wondering what all the buzz is about? Ôscillation Powerfoundation ($48), Lancôme’s latest vibrating makeup, is truly a does-it-all foundation. Good-for-your skin ingredients, SPF 21 that’s among the highest on the market, a 14-hour wear and a finish that looks like your skin, but better—all housed in a package that’s portable and mess-free. As for that ingenious applicator that delivers 7,000 micro-oscillations per minute, the benefits as just as great. The subtle action helps spread the powder evenly across your skin and buffs it down to a matte finish.

Marta says: ” My new favorite foundation and it’s mineral too. I love the coverage, my skin looks immediately flawless and I don’t feel I wear foundation at all. I carry Lancôme Ôscillation Powerfoundation in my purse or makeup bag on the go at all times. Perfect also if you are the busy type who is looking for a great foundation that is very easy to use and quick to apply (no swirling your powder brush, taping, no mess)”

You can even buy an Ôscillation Powerfoundation Replacement Wand for $5.

Dex Phillip Rising Star Awards Interview

Q. How did you get to where you are today?
Dex: For the past 10 years of my life, the process of creating a beautifully crafted picture and stunning imagery was an everyday inspiration for me. As a stylist for the Ford agency, runway- and fashion-shoot producer and CEO of my own image consulting company called La Mode in New York, I was able to experience the height of fashion and beauty in action on an everyday basis and had the honor of working with the best professional makeup artists, photographers, equipment and tools in the industry. I wanted to bring these inspiring and exciting elements of a runway show, a red carpet moment or a fashion shoot, into one location and have it come alive for any woman who came into the studio. DEX New York Beauty Atrium and Studios, my all-in-one makeup, hair and photography production studio that is open to professionals AND every woman, is my vision and dream enacted.

Laura Posada, attorney, former model and actress, mother of two and co-author of the newly released family fitness guidebook, “Fit Home Team” (Simon & Schuster) came by the DEX New York Beauty Atrium and Studio for an upcoming feature story on her in Athlete’s Quarterly magazine shoot which covers how she does it all as wife, mother, philanthropist and author. The busy mom and star of star of E! “True Hollywood Story: Baseball Wives,” wrapped up the shoot in three hours—and quickly rushed down to Philadelphia to cheer on her slugger hubby for the World Series.

Laura became a big fan of the friendly professional team at DEX and the 6,000 sq foot Beauty Atrium and Studio, “the DEX space is so airy and beautiful – perfect for a daylong shoot!”

Alex McCord, Kelly Killoren Bensimon, Jill Zarin and Ramona Singer got powdered, color-perfected and runway-ready with the DEX New York makeup team and their mineral (anti-aging!) makeup collection in preparation for their big moment down the catwalk at the Brooklyn Fashion Week(end) in New York City!

All four Housewives loved the DEX New York Spring 2010 look created specifically for their show – a smokey, black-silver shimmery eye topped off with a pearly sheen, off-set by pale Guava-colored light pink lips.

Kelly who loves natural beauty products and makeup was ecstatic about the photogenic and super-vibrant mineral makeup colors and requested that DEX’s makeup team create her top secret look for Halloween that she was coordinating with her daughter.

Ramona, who was so struck by how youthful she looked after the DEX makeover requested the photographer take a photo of her, so that she can use it as her Facebook profile image!

And Jill demanded that DEX create a special Beauty Portfolio for her so she can use the healthy-for-skin and anti-aging makeup everyday and plans on stopping by the DEX New York Studio (www.dexnewyork.com ) for her beauty day with the makeup and hair artistry team at 224 West 30th Street – at the heart of Chelsea in NYC!
