SPOT IT: BRONZE LIKE A BOSS
Get strategic about your sunkissed glow.
Bronzer gives you an edge of looking healthier than you might normally appear. Do you live off green juice and spend your days playing beach volleyball? Probably not—but a few swipes of bronzer can change all that. Below, we list the category’s latest game changers.
KELLEY HOFFMAN
Laura Mercier Baked Blush Bronze Compact
First things first: This might be the most beautiful bronzer we carry. If you have a weakness for marble, you’ll agree. Each gorgeous tile comes in a hand-mixed design with veins of rosy shimmer. As chic as it looks, and as silky as it feels, this limited-edition powder in Ritual still delivers natural color and blends easily.
Too Faced The Little Black Book of Bronzers
We change outfits for different moods and situations—so why wouldn’t we do the same for bronzer? Maybe you want one that’s more natural-looking for work, one that lasts for 16 hours for a music festival, or one that also has a rosy touch for a girl’s night. This collection contains eight bronzing options—and smells like chocolate, thanks to the three shades infused with cocoa powder.
Dior Diorskin Nude Air Tan Powder
Cinnamon. Golden Honey. Amber. The names of these bronzers sound as natural and velvety as they look. You know anything with the Dior stamp of approval has to be great, and these have a French fashion house logo embossed in the case and powder. The elegant compacts feel heavy in my hand, but the formula feels weightless on my face.
Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess Shimmer Nudes Face & Eye Palette
The sleek tortoiseshell encasement of this slender palette makes it look like a glamorous clutch, but the real beauty lies inside. Not only does it contain a warm bronzer for the face, it also has three shimmery nude shades for the eyes—with a double-sided brush to go with it. But don’t sleep on this exclusive palette—it’s limited edition.

MAC Soft Serve Eyeshadow Swatches

MAC Soft Serve Eyeshadow Swatches Here’s a really quick post with swatches from 10 shades in the MAC Soft Serve eyeshadow collection. Now these bounch creams do remind me a little (a lot) of Chanel Illusion d’Ombres and Dior Fusion Monos in overall look. Application and pay-off wise, they are probably closer to the Diors, and not as pigmented or as multi-dimensional as some of the Chanels tend to be. Then again, they are US$22 - you can’t really complain about the difference in pigments. (Pricing and launch dates to be advised in Singapore.) I did have fun layering several of them together for the eye look above, and I only used my fingers; no brushes. As you can see the effect is pretty subtle. Inner half of lids - Girls’Girls! Outer half of lids - Put Me To Shame Socket line - Quite Yummy Brow bone - So so saucy Outer corners and lower lash line - Softened Up Inner corners / tear duct - Big Bad Blue Lasting-power wise, I will say they work just as well as an...

TOO FACED ‘BORN THIS WAY’ CONCEALER SWATCHES

TOO FACED ‘BORN THIS WAY’ CONCEALER SWATCHES This week I received the entire range of the  Too Faced ‘Born This Way’ concealers. There are 10 shades in the collection, varying from the lightest colour ‘very fair’ to the darkest shade ‘deep’. So no matter your skin tone you will find a suitable match within this selection.  The consistency of these concealers are creamy and smooth - not too thick nor too runny, they’ve got it just right!  I’ve had a brief play with these but I really need to test them out on more clients with varying degrees of skin pigmentation to gain a more concise view as to whether they are as good as they claim.  So far though, I am impressed with them. I personally don’t have dark circles, but the formula does cover my breakouts when they occur. Having tried them under my eyes I was pleased with the results in the respect that the product does not sit in fine lines, nor does it make the eyes appear crepey like many concea...

CONTOURING MAGIC: HOW TO CONTOUR YOUR HEART-SHAPED FACE Learn to wield expert tricks of the shade. Heart-shaped faces have wider foreheads that taper toward the chin. In this tutorial, we show you how to use contour products to minimize your forehead while maximizing your jawline. This easy, everyday look balances out your face while emphasizing your cheekbones. BECKY PEDERSON STEP ONE Highlight the high points of your face. For a heart-shaped face, those points are your jawline, the bridge of your nose, under your eyes, the tops of your cheeks, the corners of your mouth, and the center of your forehead. STEP TWO Contour to offset your highlighter. Make sure you’ve selected a brown shade with a grey undertone so it looks like a shadow, not one tinged with orange or red (like you’d find in a bronzer). Apply the product down your hairline toward your temples, under your chin, under your cheekbones, and down the sides of your nose. STEP THREE Blend, beginning with your ...
