NARS PRO-PRIME.

NARS newest collection, NARS Pro-Prime promises Makeup that will look fresh and professionally applied for hours.

The Pro-Prime line includes Skin Smoothing Face Prep ($30) which claims to smooth out fine lines, large pores and rough spots.  It can be used under your primer to create a flawless matte finish or on top of your makeup to help combat shine and rejuvenate your complexion.  As with all NARS products, this line is Dermatologist and Ophthalmologist tested, fragrance free and non-comedogenic.

Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base ($24) is a light weight eye primer which promises to prevent eye shadows from creasing, smudging and caking (and yes ladies, even cream eye shadows).  It extends the wear of your eyeshadow, eyeliner and eyebrow pencil as well as maximizing color intensity.

I am a huge fan of NARS. As you can imagine I was super excited to test out these brand new products.  I can honestly say that they have under promised and over delivered!  They are brilliant.  I have tried Urban Decay Primer Potion, MAC Paint Pots and Two Faced Shadow Insurance.  NARS Smudge proof is hands down my favorite.  I did not experience any smudging, creasing or caking and as promised, my colors held their intensity throughout the day.  My only (slight) gripe, was that the product dry's clear which made it a slightly difficult to see if I had missed a spot.

I am going to leave you with a pic of French Bulldog, Marcel.  He is famed Francois Nars pup and has been used in the Pro-Prime ad campaigns... he is simply adorable!

This light, moisturizing facial tanner helps create an aluminous tan for any skin type.  It is paraben free and loaded with natural ingredients, including anti-oxidant grape-seed polyphenols; moisturizing grape-seed oil and olive squalane.  Not only does this self tanning cream intensively hydrate the skin, but it also reduces the visible signs of agin.

It is ideal to apply Caudalie Teint Divin to cleansed skin 3 times per week.  As with any tanning product, it is best to exfoliate to remove dead skin cells before applying the cream.

TREND FOR 'SUMMER SKIN'.


This Summer the focus is on 'natural' looking skin that is radiant and glowing, highlighted and softly contoured.  

Use a bronzer such as MAC Bronzing Powder in Golden http://www.maccosmetics.com/ to lightly contour the jawline, under the cheek bones, temples and the top of hair line.  Sweep a highlighter such as Nars Albatross http://www.narscosmetics.com/ across the tops of the cheekbones, down the bridge of the nose and on the cupids bow.  This will give the face a nice and subtle three dimensional look.

Top off the look with a sheer lip gloss such as Smashbox Lip Enhancing Gloss in Baby Pout http://www.smashbox.com/ and a coat of  Maybelline Great Lash Mascara http://www.maybelline.com/ .

Thank you for restoring the softness and shine as well as strengthening and conditioning my fine limp hair.  Thank you for helping to protect against UV rays and environmental stresses.  Thank you for  nourishing my scalp.
