Makeup Must-Have: NARS Albatross

I love creating beautiful faces. No matter what look I create, I am sure to accent my clients cheeks with NARS Albatross highlighting blush powder. It leaves your cheeks simmering, sculpted and it is perfect for any skin complexion. NARS Albatross is a staple in my makeup kit.

If purchasing Albatross isn't in your budget, I've got a GREAT inexpensive dupe for you! ELF Cosmetics "Gotta Glow" gives results that are very similar to NARS Albatross and it only costs $3!

 

Here are Albatross and Gotta Glow side-by-side.

You can find NARS Albatross at your local Sephora or on NARS' website. ELF's Gotta Glow can be

found at your local Target or on ELF's website. 

Matte Is Where Its At

When on the hunt for the perfect new lip color, we often times gravitate to the colors that have a glossy or satin finish. It's about time we step out of the box and try something new. Matte lipsticks are really leading the pack with the boldest, brightest colors for the season, not to mention the staying power they posses so no need for frequent touch-ups! So if your looking for the perfect accessory to complete your fab look...grab an intense matte. Be sure to gently exfoliate your lips with a bit of sugar & honey and smooth on some lip balm, blot with tissue then add lip color.

Here are a few hot matte colors to choose from:
Ruby Woo by MAC Cosmetics

Bright Pink Matte by Sephora

Volga By Nars

Nude Attitude by REVLON
