To conceal a bruise on your face or any where else on the body, all you need is: mauve lipstick, foundation and translucent powder.  First blend the mauve lipstick over the bruise until it looks pink, then press the foundation into the bruise and blend out.  Next, apply your foundation to your entire face, otherwise just blend really well!  Finally, set the disguised bruise by dusting it with translucent powder, or press powder into the skin using a puff. This trick also works for severe dark circles.

First, use a creamy concealer, one that won’t dry out the delicate skin under the eye.  Then apply a small amount of moisturizer to the area and let it sink in.  Use a thin flat synthetic brush to apply concealer starting at the inside corner of the eye.  Brush the concealer lightly downward, blending it out (remember, less is more).  Try to avoid applying concealer to the outer corners of the eye, you’re not dark there and it will emphasize crow’s feet!  To set, use a powdered puff (a non-visible amount) and gently press over the concealer.

Celebrity makeup artist Tricia Sawyer will be launching her own cosmetics line next month on QVC.  Her products proved a success last month when 4,000 units of Eye Slept [under eye revitalizing cream] sold in 6 minutes during the artist’s introductory segment on QVC’s “Beauty Newsmakers”.

Sawyer, whose instructional experience began as a line specialist for Prescriptives, says “You can only do so many women one-on-one [at a] counter or in-store at a time, I really wanted attainable beauty, and I wanted to show as many people as I could.  QVC is amazing at that."  Each product includes a three hour instructional DVD, just in case you’re not a pro.

The line consists of seven products:

• Alive: botanical-loaded moisturizer $34 
• Eye Slept: under eye cream $21
• Powder and Brush Duo: $59
• Starlets: iridescent powder shades $21
• Essentials Palette: neutral eye shadows $34
• Smoke and Mirrors: a one-step smoky eye tool $20
• Foundation and Blush Combo: $51

We’re constantly trying new products to improve the appearance of our skin.  Many of us are on-the-go and don’t have time for a full make-over or facial every morning.  Palettes and travel-sized products have become an important factor when purchasing new cosmetics or skincare items.  Multi-purpose products are even more important because they give us less to worry about.

Chantecaille’s Bio Lift Concealer is the perfect way to conceal and protect throughout the day.  Like most concealers, Bio Lift hides dark circles and smoothes uneven skin tones.  It also protects with SPF 10 and uses vitamin E and botanicals to moisturize the delicate skin below the eyes.  What’s unique about Bio Lift?  The clear core consists of concentrated hexapeptides that relax lines as well as prevent new wrinkles.  When you apply your makeup in the morning you’re also protecting and preventing further damage and wrinkles!
