If you're looking for a product that gives you a naturally flushed blush of color, Trish McEvoy Liquid Face Color needs to be on your must-have list. This new makeup gives cheeks a soft glow, as if you just came in from a brisk walk. You actually look as if your cheeks are backlit. Do you need to ask if I love that?
The Trish McEvoy Liquid Face Color comes in a click-pen applicator with a brush at the bottom. You twist the cap and the product dispenses through to the brush. I've never been able to master the application of a cream blush; I just can't do it. But this product is so easy to apply, it's goof-proof!
The way I've been applying the Trish McEvoy Liquid Face Color is to deposit some color onto the back of my hand, using a "stippling" technique. Then, using the brush, I pick up and apply the color to my face. I feel using this application technique gives me more control, resulting in the look I want with no mistakes. And if you're going to be traveling, this product is definitely travel-friendly.
The Trish McEvoy Liquid Face Color retails at $32 and is available where Trish McEvoy cosmetics are sold, including Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus and select Nordstrom, Parisian and specialty stores. You can also find Trish McEvoy cosmetics at Bloomingdale's, Henri Bendel, Bergdorf Goodman in NYC and various online retailers including eLuxury.com and QVC.
Bobbi BrownSpring 2009 brings a new makeup collection and it's Platinum! If you're looking for prom or wedding makeup, this would be a great collection to check out.
The Bobbi Brown Platinum Collection features the new limited-edition Platinum Pink Shimmer Brick ($40) which comes in
a gorgeous metallic silver finish case and contains five bars of color that will
beautifully highlight cheeks or anywhere you want to add shimmer. The shades
included: soft pink, platinum, bright pink, golden coral and rose, can be
blended together or used individually.
It's hard to believe, but the Platinum Pink Shimmer Brick is the first Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick I've tried! I've always been afraid that the effect would be too glittery for me. Not so at all! The Platinum Pink Shimmer Brick is just that...a shimmer. Perfect for highlighting cheeks or anywhere you want to add a little subtle radiance.
The rest of the Bobbi Brown Platinum Collection includes:
Long-Wear Cream Eye Shadows in shades of Steel, Platinum, Ash and Heather ($22). The Steel color has been my go-to shade lately.
Shimmer Lip Gloss & Lip Gloss in shades of Glacier Shimmer Lip Gloss, Confetti Shimmer Lip Gloss (the perfect shade of bubble gum pink!) and Nougat Lip Gloss ($20)
Shimmering Body Oil, which is infused with pink and platinum pearls to condition and moisturize skin, while imparting a radiant glow. Lightly infused with "Bobbi's Party", which is a new scent that will debut for Holiday 2009. ($34)
To get the look pictured above, apply Steel Long-Wear Cream Shadow to upper and lower lashline, as well as crease. Use Platinum Long-Wear Cream Shadow to highlight. Brush cheeks with Platinum Pink Shimmer Brick. Finish the look with Confetti Shimmer Lip Gloss.
The Bobbi Brown Platinum Collection is available at all Bobbi Brown Counters and on www.bobbibrown.com.
Laura Mercier's Spring 2009 Makeup Collection is everything I would expect: gorgeous colors and new textures. Gilded Garden, the bold, new Limited Edition floral colour collection is Laura
Mercier's latest creation.
The centerpiece of the the Gilded Garden collection is the Mosaic Shimmer Bloc. The Mosaic Shimmer Bloc softly
illuminates cheeks with the perfect flush of luminous, rosy color. I couldn't resist ordering this one. $38.
Lip Stains in new shades of Hibiscus and English Rose ($20) and Lip Colour - Stickgloss ($20) in new Azalea and Tiger Lily shades add a pop of colour to the lips.
Eyeshadows in new textures offer a fresh take on Spring:
Luster Eye Colour ($22) in new Marigold is a luxuriously smooth eye shadow that imparts pure dynamic
iridescences with a sophisticated frost finish providing amazing
adherence for a freshly applied look throughout the day.
Sateen Eye Colour ($22) is a lightweight eye shadow with a
creamy powder texture that provides an immediate release of intense
luminous colour with superior blending for a long-wearing,
crease-resistant application. New shades of Lilac, Orchid and Pink Tulip.
I love the Laura Mercier line because the quality is always exceptional. You can count on perfect application, great saturation of color and the finished look is always remarkable.

Clinique Spring 2009 Makeup Collection, First Blush, is soft and feminine
evoking memories of a first, innocent flush. Cheeks are
the focus, showcasing a natural, youthful glow. Eyes are sweetly
simple with a monochromatic wash of colour, a defined upper lash line
and strong brow. Completing this deliciously romantic look is
a subtly coloured, glossy lip – the perfect complement to an effortless,
yet textured eye and breathtaking cheek.
The highlights of the First Blush collection include:
Quick Blush: This new blush combines portability plus great colour payout. The brush is built into the cap, so you only need to twist and blush! Available in four colors: Hurry Honey, Peach In-A-Pinch, Minute Mocha and Berry On Time. $ 21.50. I've been using the Minute Mocha and love it; the color is subtle and wearable.
Fresh Bloom Eye Shadow
These new, limited-edition compacts are pressed into the same iconic design as the floral design found in the popular Fresh Bloom Allover Colour palette and contain two shades in each compact. You can use each color alone or blended together. Available in four fresh-as-spring shades: Maple Blossom, Tiger Lily, Cherry Blossom and Apple Blossom. I've been mixing the colors together for a pretty, luminous effect. $ 16.50.
High Impact Curling Mascara: This mascara provides intense volume plus extreme curl for 24 hours of long-wearing, non-smudging, eye-opening drama. I love the curved brush, designed to elongate and curl lashes. While the effect is extreme, removal is not. Just use warm water. Now what's not to love about that? $ 14.
Long Last Glosswear SPF 15: Providing long-lasting gloss and shine for up to 8 hours. Available in new limited-edition shades of Honey Shimmer and First Blush. $ 14.
Clinique Fist Blush Spring 2009 Makeup Collection is available at Clinique Counters and at www.clinique.com.
