I know that some people don’t like/use primers. I personally don’t use primers for myself on a daily basis but I do use primers for important events and for photos and just when I am in a mood for a primer

Maybe if you don’t like primers – you just haven’t found the right one for yourself yet. But these days, with such a variety of products, I think that everyone has a chance to find one.

Today let’s take a look at the new Smashbox Primers. I haven’t tried them so I’ll just post what the brand promises, hopefully some of you will find it helpful.

Smashbox  Photo Finish Light Foundation Primer ($36)

“This 60% water-based primer is ideal for oily, acne-prone or sensitive skin. The silky blend of vitamins and antioxidants helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and pores for visibly softer skin and can be worn alone or under foundation to increase its longevity. The revolutionary formula has oil absorbers for a smooth matte finish all day, light diffusers to minimize the appearance of imperfections, and vitamin C and peptides to help even skin tone and promote collagen production for a flawless future.”

Smashbox  Photo Finish  Luminizing Foundation Primer ($38)

“Get a gorgeous glow! This adds just the right amount of luminosity. The velvety formula helps fill in fine lines and pores with age-fighting antioxidants such as green tea, grapeseed extract, and vitamins A, C and E. And, of course, it extends the wear of foundation.”

Once again, let me tell you that blue will be  huge this Fall. So I thought I would share with you how to create a gorgeous look with blue eye shadows.

This look was created by the top Make-Up Artist Daniel Sandler for Olivia Rubin for London A/W 2011/2012 Fashion Week.

Here is what Daniel says about the look:

The Look, entitled ‘Rockin’ Royal Blue’, was inspired by Olivia’s bold graphic prints and tailored silhouettes, along with the iconic 80’s. “I wanted the makeup to be bold, beautiful and expensive-looking so I created the modern Hollywood face to flatter Olivia’s stunning collection. The flash of Royal blue on the lids makes it look very British.”

Daniel and his team of Artists used the following products:

• NEW Daniel Sandler Invisible Veil Loose Professional Powder,£22.50

I’ve bought this liner a long time ago but never wrote about it so I think today is the perfect day to do so, since we are talking about ArtDeco anyway.

I have ArtDeco Soft Lip Liner Waterproof in #8 which is described as Medium Cadmium  Red on the website.

The thing is that I love pretty much everything  about it: from the design to the price and from the shade to the quality.

It is really long-lasting, looks beautiful on the lips and this particular shade is simply gorgeous. I love using it all over my lips but it is great as liner  as well, obviously. You can also add a gloss on top for the different effect.
