SUMMER MAKEUP PICKS

LIPTINI LIP STAIN

Long-lasting color in 15 shades, some with shimmer, for all your summer moods. Apply a little for a natural wash of color or use lots of layers for a more dramatic look. Liptini stains don’t come off so your lips remain true to color even while sipping poolside cocktails. Available at www.beautybridge.com

AMAZING CONCEALER
This is a must-have all year round, but it’s especially great in the summer because it is waterproof. A little goes a long way and blends evenly into your skin, erasing imperfections. Amazing Concealer comes in seven shades; use just one or mix a couple to perfectly match your skin tone. www.amazingcosmetics.com

RCK BODY GLOW BODY BRONZER
Available in three colors light, medium, and dark to add a beautiful glow to legs, arms, and décolletage. It’s easy to apply and does not rub off on clothing. Body Glow is fragrance free and contains vitamins A, C, and K for luxurious moisturizing. www.redcarpetkolour.com

L’OREAL VOLUMINIOUS WATERPROOF MASCARA
I don’t usually recommend waterproof mascara, but because this is summer and there’s always a chance of falling into the pool, L’Oréal’s Voluminous Waterproof Mascara in Carbon Black is my choice. Available at your local drugstore.

CLARISONIC PLUS
Summer means less makeup and less clothing, so it’s a good time to kick up skin care a notch. The Clarisonic Plus gently cleanses and exfoliates,  giving you softer, more supple skin.  And the Plus comes with a body brush, which is great prep before applying self tanner. www.clarisonic.com

How to Create Sexy Smokey Eyes

Celebrity Makeup Artist Robin Matthews gave great face to Kristen Stewart for the film “The Runaways” where she played ’70s rock icon Joan Jett. Now that the film is about to come out on DVD, we asked her for a few tips on creating a sexy smoked eye.

HOW TO FROM ROBIN ON HOW TO SMOKE IT UP:

*It’s all about eyeliner pencil. Apply generously and smudge away!

*I like to use a small brush to smudge, but you can also use a sponge tipped applicator or even a Q-tip if you’re in a pinch.

*The key to getting it so worn in is to apply, smudge, then repeat. Also, we think of a smokey eye like Joan Jett’s as black or brown, but it can be any color.

*Cherie Currie (played by Dakota Fanning) was one of the first to show us that. She did smokey eyes with all sorts of color combinations such as blue and copper. Both these ladies broke down barriers for a lot of the make-up styles we wear today. On the red carpet today, we see smokey eyes in violet, green, blue, gray…you name it.

*As for mascara and liner pencils, there are so many great ones out there. The two that I happened to use on The Runaways are Make-up For Ever Aqua Eyes and MAC Kohl pencil. My favorite mascaras at the moment are Chanticaille Faux Cils, Make-up For Ever Smokey Lash, and Dior Show.

*I prefer a natural lip with a smoked eye.
