 What’s the best way for a beauty-obsessed girl to spend a dreary, rainy early Saturday afternoon?
In the company of Jennifer Ho, a west coast member of Benefit Cosmetics’ makeup artist roster, naturally.
I arrived at my 1 pm appointment feeling bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, ready to be made glamourous by Jennifer and her arsenal of Benefit goodies. After sitting down in the high chair, she informed me that the brand has actually been around for 30 years, a piece of trivia not known by most.
Benefit is insistent of keeping makeup fun, clearly evidenced by the very cute, pretty packaging and tongue-in-cheek (or is that chic?) product monikers. Jennifer informed me what the brand likes to do is “solve every day beauty dilemmas”, so heavy eye shadow and bright, bright lips aren’t on the cosmetic menu each day of the week.

 Reese Witherspoon is America’s Sweetheart — and, boy, did she ever look elegantly sweet in at the recent Country Music Awards.
I got the chance to speak to Lyle Remier, a makeup artist for M.A.C. (and co-designer of the clothing label Evan & Dean), about how to replicate Witherspoon’s enviable CMA look.

 Holidays are an equally joyous and stressful time, a time when families and friends gather together to share good laughs, good food, good memories and — sometimes — a good, heated debate.
Stress is often high on the list for those who host holiday dinners and soirees, with all the running around, cleaning, food preparation, serving and entertaining. Time is of the essence and is rather scarce when basting turkeys, blending mashed potatoes and baking candied yams.
Here are turkey cooking instructions and tips so that you have just enough time before everyone arrives to dip into your Too Faced eye shadow, sweep on your Cargo blush and brush on your Borghese mascara.

 My girlfriend Shannon Heth — publicist extraordinaire (with the longest legs ever, might I add) — gave me a sample of Beaute’s Liqui-Gel Stain for Cheeks and Lips this weekend, developed by her New York-based good friend and star makeup artist, Beau Nelson.

 It’s crunch time.
All Hallow’s Eve is tonight, which happens to fall on a Friday this year, meaning there will be lots of freaks, ghouls and politically incorrect characters out on the street come nighttime.
If Halloween costumes were the last thing on your mind till now, don’t wig out too badly. Here are some quick makeup tips that add up to a costume with fast-thinking apparel improvisation.

 Clowns are for kids and circuses, not for the hip, professional woman wearing her favorite NARS blush.
Unless you’re Anna Piaggi, who has the world’s sole “Get Out Of Jail Free” card for applying perfectly round circles of blush to apple cheeks, every blush-toting lady needs to learn the rules of application.

 What is seen on runways of Fashion Week often ends up trickling into other related facets, like art, music, decor and beauty.
Since we’re currently in full Fashion Week mode, having gone from New York to London and now to Milan, there is a lot of inspiration coming from the catwalks of Marc by Marc Jacobs, Chris Benz, Vivienne Westwood and Just Cavalli in terms of color for Spring ‘09.

 A deathly pale pallor is not becoming on anyone, unless your name is Dita von Teese.
Blush is essential to bringing life, youth and vigor to the face, as long as you leave the round clown cheek blush dots to Village Voice scribe Lynn Yaeger. The difficulty in maintaing faux color all day is having to lug around both a powder palette and big brush to re-apply Nars’ Orgasm or MAC’s Stylus when the hump of mid-day hits.

 Lifetime is just killing it with the fashion-slash-beauty reality shows.
In addition to snatching Project Runway from Bravo, Lifetime is running a six-episode reality series on the web called Blush: The Search for America’s Greatest Makeup Artist this November. The premise is the same as Project Runway: contestants, judges, challenges and host.
