Mixology Makeup - handmade chemical free mineral makeupIf there is one thing we love, it's fun, affordable makeup. If there's one thing we hate, it's makeup packed with harsh, toxic chemicals that make us break out and fear for our future face. So it's no wonder we're huge fans of today's featured indie business, Mixology Makeup, a line of handcrafted, chemical-free mineral makeup.

MAKE UP FOR EVER HD

Posted Feb 17th 2009 at 11:48AM by Dana Oliver

Filed under: Cosmetics

Let's face it. No matter how much we'd like to believe, celebs aren't always red carpet perfect. And with the television industry's recent switch to high-definition, hiding one's imperfections just got even tougher. But thanks to MAKE UP FOR EVER's HD Complexion line – which includes foundations, concealers and a loose powder - stars can look flawless despite the pore-magnifiying zoom effect.

So what does Make Up For Ever's complexion perfectors have that other cosmetic brands don't? It's all about the micro-particles that scatter light to visibly perfect your skin.

"In HD, everything is magnified, including make up. Therefore, formulations need to use microscopic ingredients to create the invisible coverage that is necessary for HD formats," said Dany Sanz, Creator and Artistic Director, MAKE UP FOR EVER. "The HD Complexion line utilizes special micro-particles in each innovative formulation to create make up that is imperceptible onscreen, in photos and in real life!"

At the 51st Annual Grammy Awards, everyone from Cyndi Lauper to Jordin Sparks hit up the Grammy Style Studio to get done up with products from the HD Complexion line. For scenes from the studio, click through the gallery.

Hollywood's most famous make-up artists honored with Walk of Fame star

While you might not be familiar with the Westmore family by name, you're most definitely familiar with their work, and it's their artistry in make-up that has earned the Westmores the 2,370th star on the Walk of Fame.

A Walk of Fame spokesperson said, "The Westmores not only created, but they defined the role of make-up artists in Motion Pictures. George Westmore opened the very first make-up department at Selig Studios in 1917." Members of the family were responsible for the signature looks of stars like Rudolph Valentino, Clara Bow, Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor, Bette Davis, and even Barbie.

Tip of the day: Givenchy's Phenomen'Eyes Mascara

Posted Aug 18th 2008 at 7:44AM by Boydie Beener

Filed under: Cosmetics, Style Tip of the Day


We almost found the laziest mascara ever. Almost.

Givenchy's Phemonen'Eyes Masacara has an innovative spherical design built specifically get those little pain in the ass hard to reach lashes. It is also made for all eye shapes – whatever that means. Regardless, it promises big results for such a little sphere. We're perplexed.

If only this baby spun and did all the work for us, we'd be in heaven.

Summer bummer: The eyeshadow slide

Posted Jul 7th 2008 at 3:29PM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Cosmetics


One of the biggest summer make-up challenges we face is watching our eyeshadow melt right off our eyelid. We leave the house with the perfect bronze-y gold smoky eye, and by the time we get where we're going, there's a pound of make-up settled in the crease and instead of looking light and shimmery, our eyelids just look oily.

As women, we want our mascara to be a macho man -- thick, long, long-lasting, conditioning and waterproof. Okay, maybe that was the wrong metaphor but regardless, we expect a lot out of our mascara but we might not be doing our part in meeting our partner half way.

Here are a few helpful hints to get the best show out of your favorite mascara.

Make-up how-to's for women of all colors

Posted Apr 30th 2008 at 11:38AM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Cosmetics

We always love reading about a new "how-to" when it comes to make-up -- one never knows when she's going to learn a swell new trick. However, many make-up tutorials on the web are geared toward women with fairly light skin and large eyes, not toward Asian or African American. That's not to say they're not out there -- they're just a bit less prevalent.

Breaking out? Could be your make-up

Posted Oct 17th 2007 at 4:49PM by Annie Wu

Filed under: Cosmetics, Skin Care

MAC Studio FixSharing time! I've got something good here that will hopefully help a few of you out there.

For the past few months, my skin has been going absolutely berserk. I noticed that my normally clear skin was breaking out a lot more than usual, but I couldn't pin-point the reason. Usually, the only reason why I use foundation is because my skin tone is slightly uneven, but after the break-outs, I would wear more in a desperate attempt to cover up. MAC's Studio Fix generally did the trick. Unfortunately, my skin kept going insane and I kept putting on the Studio Fix. Now, I believe that the foundation was what caused me to break out in the first place, which is actually kind of funny to think about now that I'm not freaking out about it.

Perfect eyeliner for heavy color and long wear

Posted Jul 26th 2007 at 4:46PM by Annie Wu

Filed under: Whatever Style, Cosmetics

Sit yourselves down, folks. I got a little story to tell first: I can go out without wearing lip gloss or even foundation, but I downright refuse to be seen in public without some sort of eyeliner smudged around my eyes. It's my own pathetic weakness.

So, as someone who would be sworn to a life as a hermit without eyeliner, I am constantly on the prowl for better, longer-lasting pencils. I need something that delivers heavy color, goes on smoothly, and stays on the entire day. For many years, I thought I was just asking too much... Of course, I had started with the drugstore's dollar eyeliners, which came off after five or six blinks. It didn't take me long to learn that there's a reason why some cosmetics cost more than others, and I eventually moved on to better brands, but was, for the most part, disappointed. For example, I used MAC for several years and, although I'm still madly in love with their high-pigment eyeshadows, their long-lasting eyeliner just didn't last long enough.

But I now bring good news: Recently, I received Urban Decay's 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil as a gift and I immediately fell in love with the product. It was everything I needed. Obviously, it's so good that I felt the need to share. The pencil in "Zero" (black) is my absolute favorite because it's really strong and dark, but I also gave in to temptation and bought one of the colored ones ("Lust" purple). I have no intention of switching brands any time soon because this is perfect. Give it a try! You won't be let down.

Tip: My favorite way to fully set the eyeliner for extra-long wear is to use a small brush and lightly apply some dark eyeshadow over the line.

Women's bodies may absorb five pounds of makeup chemicals per year

Posted Jul 19th 2007 at 11:05AM by Jonathon Morgan

Filed under: Cosmetics, Skin Care

OK, I'll admit it. When men say: "I think you look better without makeup," what they're actually saying is that they prefer how you look without a lot of makeup as, chances are, they've never see you completely free of cosmetics. That said, it seems like you some of you ladies might be going a little overboard.

A recent report found that women who use make-up everyday absorb almost 5 pounds of chemicals into their bodies every year. These are chemicals that have been linked to everything from skin irritation to cancer.

The report also found that many women use more than 20 different beauty products a day, which combines a number of different chemicals that haven't been tested together -- meaning their long-term effects on the body are largely unknown.

While I doubt this will lead to any drastic reduction in the amount of makeup women use, one way to cut down the number of chemicals you're putting into your body is to try organic skin care and beauty products, like those sold by companies in the Natural & Organic Cosmetics Directory.

Urban Decay's ring holds your perfect shade of poison

Posted Jun 25th 2007 at 4:01PM by Annie Wu

Filed under: Accessories, Cosmetics

When I saw this lip gloss ring, I thought to myself, "Wow! It's just like a more grown-up version of Hard Candy's old crappy plastic rings!"

Well, it looks like Urban Decay has found a better -- a much better -- way to do make-up jewelery. It's so deliciously macabre, and a fantastic change from the old glittery lip color in 25 cent plastic jewelry. I love the skull detailing and how it looks beautiful enough to hide the fact that it's really a goofy lip gloss ring.

The Poison Ring is available for a limited time at $50 and comes with three great shades of gloss, so get on this goodness!
