Polished and Perfect

Many of you seemed to like the Soft and Natural look I pulled together last week, so this week I give you a “Perfectly Polished” look.  This look adds a little more color to the face than the look last week, but it still isn’t overpowering.

Let’s start with the face prep – Jouer Luminizing Moisture Tint in Golden.   This tinted moisturizer is hands down the best one I have ever tried.   It’s lightweight with a slight shimmer and has all kinds of healthy-for-your-skin goodness.  

Groomed eyebrows are a must in my book, and my new favorite way to fine tune them is theDiorshow Brow Styler.   It’s a universal shade on one end and a spooly brush at the other to give you the best in brow filling. 

I love the Chanel Kaska Beige eye shadow palette.  With the four shades you’re able to create looks that take you from sublte to dramatic, depending on the shade combinations you use.   Check my post on the palette here.   

I then line my eyes in a Giorgio Armani Beauty Smooth Silk Eye Pencil.  This one is shade #12, a black/brown shade.  Have you ever tried one of the Armani eye pencils?  They are so incredibly creamy and silky, just like the name says.  

For a soft, subtle pop of color on the cheeks, I brush LancomeBlush Subtil in Sheer Amourose.   It’s a beautiful shade of rose that would flatter many skin tones.   It also blends beautifully. 

Set your perfectly polished face with RevlonPhotoReady powder in Translucent.   This goes with me everywhere.   No buildup, no color changing formula and no settling in creases.

For lips the new Chanel Rouge Coco in Mademoiselle shade is what I used here.  Chanel just released the new Rouge Coco formula last month and they are a big hit.   They are very creamy and long wearing without the drying affect that many other long wearing formulas have.   I own several shades. but for my skin tone this is a great every day shade.   

If you like to add a little gloss, try this Jouer Lipgloss in color Sunset, a shimmering pink gold shade.   This creamy gloss can be worn alone or over any lipstick.  The shimmer is not too much, but a nice touch.  

If you’re going to take this look to the night time, why not add a little shimmer with Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick for Body.  Take a big fluffy brush like this Bobbi Brown brush and put over your decollete, arms, legs – anywhere you want a soft, sexy shimmer.   The key in application is a big fluffy brush – otherwise it will apply with a small streak instead of an all-over glow.
