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. Posted in Beauty 101, Brands, Cheeks, Product Reviews

Both Julianne Moore and Brooke Shields wore the bright shade, respectively, on the red carpet recently at a film premiere and the Emmys. Then there’s the fact that the raspberry-strawberry Original is one of the most requested flavors at Fro-Yo emporium, Pinkberry. Posted in Beauty Trends, Brands, Industry Favorites, Product Reviews

What isn’t forbidden, however, is to match makeup colors with the season, as in pairing up your nail color this Fall ‘09 with the autumnal palette outside. This means when tree leaves leaves morph into brown and flutter slowly to earth, brushing that same color onto nails is the perfect manicure homage to a season of scarves, warm coats, crisp air and pumpkin spiced lattes.

For Fall ‘08, the brand unveiled its new colors for their signature Shadow and the Rose palette ($79), which comes with two pearlescent eye shadow shades (mauve and deep brown-purple) and one complementary cheek color (peachy nude). Each color is embossed with Chantecaille’s signature rose, making it nearly impossible to want to use the palette for fear of messing it up. Posted in New Product, Obsessions

The lovely girl who helped me — made even more lovely with her French accent — took me through the usual suspects, like BeneFit and Make Up For Ever, before introducing me to Dior’s Bronze Sun Powder Spray. She pulled the can off its display, sprayed the product onto a bronzing brush and swept it onto the inside of my wrist to test out the color. Posted in Beauty 101, Brands, Obsessions

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.

Sometimes I’m completely indecisive when it comes to what shade to slick onto my lips — do I want a lightly natural or do I want richly colored pucker??
