Really, these new cosmetics and beauty tools will rock your world for 2021!
Here's what you'll want to try this year for stunning results:
Chanel Les Beiges Foundation - Thrive Lifting Eyeshadow Base & NARS Concealer
Chanel Les Beiges: Perhaps my favorite foundation to date. I can remember one of the first foundations I tried was in the "rose beige" family. I decided to try it again with Chanel and am not disappointed. I apply less than one pump on a Kabuki brush and buff it in. The finish is between dewy and semi-matte. Simply looks like fresh healthy skin with a little blush. Beautiful. Available online at Chanel.com or their beauty counters.
Thrive Causemetics Eye Lift 360 Waterproof Eye Shadow Primer: I purchased this with their mascara and found it to be somewhat "cakey" when applied right out of the tube with the wand. So I warm it up between my fingers first then apply. It keeps your eyeshadow from fading and creasing but you'll need eye makeup remover to take it off.
NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer: This is my favorite concealer due to the coverage but also the finish. A little goes a long way and if you add setting powder after application, you won't see much by way of creasing and pigment settling into fine lines. Shown here is Light 2.75 Cannelle which is perfect for my winter, tan-less complexion. NARSCosmetics.com
NEW Jones Road Makeup Collection from Bobbi Brown & YSL Eye Illuminator
Bobbi's done it again, yet this time with clean, no-frills packaging. The Jones Road Collection offers well pigmented, creamy eyeshadows, lip gloss, and sparkle wash that offer a subtle shimmer-shine. These cosmetics go on like butter and look so believably pretty, you can wear them during the day. Simply layer on more product for an evening look. Just gorgeous! I've teamed up the eyeshadow with YSL's Touche Eclat Radiant Touch for the eye area. JonesRoadBeauty.com
The Eyes Have it! Lyda Cat Eye Stamp-Thrive Causemetics Liquid Lash Extensions-Wet 'n Wild Unbreakable Eye Liner
Lyda Cleopatra Cat Eye Stamp is perfect for those of us who have a hard time producing a crisp Cat Eye with eyeliner. Simply stamp the corners of your eye and connect the lines with eyeliner. Foolproof really. LydaBeauty.com
Thrive Causemetics Liquid Lash Extensions Mascara I purchased this after seeing it raved about everywhere on social media. Sephora even carried it at one time but not now. It is supposed to give you the look of eyelash extensions while nourishing your lashes with peptides for increased growth. I will say it does give you more length than most any other mascara I've used but too much can look spidery so beware! Still, it's one of the best mascaras out there. Available online.
Wet 'n Wild Unbreakable Eyeliner (Black) I'm loving Wet 'n Wild's Breakup Proof, waterproof liquid eyeliner. The unique tip is more like a paintbrush than a felt pen. It doesn't dry out or get caked so you get a clean, crisp line every time. Available at Target, Walgreen's, etc.
Heated Eyelash Curler This one is USB rechargeable and heats up very quickly. In fact it has three heat settings but I simply use the lowest, (65 degrees centigrade). Curls quickly and can even be used after mascara application. My advice? Get one!
Milk Makeup, NYC (Sephora)
This is Sephora's Beauty Insider Birthday Gift and I was happy to receive it last fall for my birthday. The Mini Cheek & Lip Tint is fresh, soft, and suits a variety of skin tones. The Kush Mascara is "meh", not very lengthening or thickening. The little pouch of Hydro Grip Primer is good for about one or two applications.
Fine Perfumes from English Laundry and ALLSAINTS
English Laundry offers four distinct fragrances in a gift set that I received for Christmas. Just gorgeous and lush...perfect for every season and occasion. English Laundry has become one of my new favorite fragrance houses.
ALLSAINTS perfumes are designed to evoke the senses with contrasting scents. They claim to be unisex but I found the Flora Mortis to be decidedly feminine due to the fresh yet woodsy floral notes. Absolutely wonderful! Available at Nordstrom and AllSaints.com
