Quick Fixes for April
By Erin Williams
Searching for a concealor that stays put, covers anything, and lets you highlight? Susan Posnick’s ColorCorrect is a cream brightener and corrector in a double sided pencil. You can use it to soften lines, fill in hollow areas, and neutralize red spots as well as highlight the cheekbone and nose. And it’s so compact you can throw it in your bag and touch up before dinner! www.susanposnick.com.
If you were in on the Jergens Natural Glow Moisturizer craze from last year you will love their new Natural Glow Face Daily Moisturizer. If used every day for a week the oil-free, lightweight moisturizer will gradually deepen your skin to be a shade darker. It’s available in three shades and is a great way to prepare for sunny weather. www.jergens.com.
For an easy eyeshadow check out Guerlain’s Divinora Pearly Color Cream-to-Powder Eyeshadow. Four soft colors offer the ability to melt into skin for a subtle sheen that you don’t even need a brush for! If you’ve got fingers, you can do this, so no excuses! www.sephora.com.
Sheer blackberry lipgloss is something I’m constantly on the hunt for - and most are too deep or too red or too gray. The new shade, Metis, from Nars is a perfect balance of sheer pigment with just the right dose of that “you just caught me picking berries” color. It’s a great color transition to spring with! www.narscosmetics.com.
Eyeliners come and go but shadow liners are forever. And Urban Decay has just come out with a new line of Deluxe Eyeshadows that are even more pigmented, silky to the touch, and with the cutest packaging ever! Zero is an inky black that will last you as long as you hide it from your friends. www.urbandecay.com.
If you are on a search for a tinted moisturizer that not only has a sunscreen but skincare, pick up N.V. Perricone’s Active Tinted Moisturizer. It contains an SPF of 15, Vitamin C to minimize fine lines, and, the star of Perricone’s products, Alpha Lipoic Acid, which helps protect your skin from free radicals. So you can treat, as well as even out, your skin. www.nvperriconemd.com.
