C'mon ladies, we've all been there -- that glorious moment mid-evening where we go "freshen up" only to realize our eyeliner is everywhere except where it should be. Sexy, right? WRONG! Well this eyeliner is water-resistant and keeps smudges to a bare minimum (the barest I've ever experienced at least). Plus, it comes in a range of colors that are easily applied with an ultra fine eyeliner brush. I like it in "Chocolate Shimmer Ink".
2. Nars Multi-Protect Primer SPF 30 /PA+++ $32 U.S.
Put a dab of this on your face pre-makeup application and you'll be matter than matt! Trust me, I'm the queen of summer time t-zone shine and this primer gets the job done. And not to sound like an infomercial or anything, but I really do find it makes my makeup go on smoother and stay on longer. I'm not so sure about its claims to keep the effects of pollution at bay, but it doesn't have parabens and me thinks that's a good thing.
3. Bumble and Bumble Brilliantine $22 U.S.
I'll use any excuse to try a new beauty product and in this case it was quite simple: Olivia Wilde uses it, and doesn't she have the most perfect beachy waves like all the time??? Luckily my $22 didn't go down the beauty drain because I've been using Brilliantine almost daily since May. Put an edamame size amount in your hand (maybe a bit more if you have lots of hair), scrunch, and say hello to your just-got-out-of-bed-after-a-day-at-the-beach-hair.
4. RMS Living Luminizer $38 U.S.
At last my prayers have been answered -- God (a.k.a. makeup artist Rose-Marie Swift), has created a luminzer that's entirely edible. Okay, I'm kidding, I've never prayed for anything of the sort, but I'm sure sleeping better at night knowing at least one product I'm applying on my face is made with raw, food grade, organic ingredients. Place a little on your brow bone, the inner corners of your eyes, across the bridge of your nose, and make a "C" shape extending from the end of your brow to the top of your cheekbone, and voila -- a radiant glow from within minus all that yucky chemical crap.
5. Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer
If you a) don't have a home in the Hamptons and/or b) fear sun damage and or c) turn bright red at even the slightest interaction with sunlight, then Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer ought to be your new best friend. That is of course if you're in the market for that ellusive I was just on vacation don't I look rested look. Seriously though, who isn't? Joking aside, if you can get past the slightly off-putting scent, this lotion does the job and is streak free when applied properly (don't be dumb and pay attention). That's all...
