A Great Cream Shadow From Shiseido

I sometimes get asked if it’s weird to be recommending other beauty products when I have my own beauty line, but the answer is absolutely not. I was a make up artist first for years before I even began my own beauty line and am a big supporter of other artist’s who have their own beauty lines.

One of my long time fav’s is Shiseido. I began wearing this fabulous line in my early 20’s when I was introduced to it on a visit to Japan. I am also a huge fan of Dick Page who has become a pretty important part of their beauty line going forward.

I was given this cream to powder shadow in Rose Tulle (a new shade) to try and have to say it is pretty amazing. It looks beautiful on and is crease free which is always an added when it comes to creams. It’s the perfect amount of shimmer and color for the eyes. They have so many colors to choose from so you won’t have a problem finding one that suits you.

Shiseido’s Accentuating Color Sticks

Have you tried these gorgeous color sticks from Shiseido? They are genius! Dick Page used the Rouge Flush stick at the Narciso Rodriguez show in New York and the models look beautiful. The color sticks can be used to highlight the eyes, cheeks, lips and body for a brilliant luster.

They go on smoothly, adhere well to the skin, and gives a lustrous, crease- free finish that lasts. Two of the key ingredients are Hydro-Wrap Vitalizing DE, a lasting moisturizing factor and 3-D Powder that gives a natural depth and highlight to the facial contours.

Five shades to choose from and all are so pretty. Each tube is $32 and you can see them all at sephora.com.

Proenza Schouler Fall 2008

The look at Proenza Schouler was long hair and colbalt blue eyes. The ever amazing Dick Page led his team of artists who helped to create this very bold and beautiful look.

To get the look, Page first covered the lids with a shimmer cream shadow in gray, then brushed a colbalt blue shadow on top. He then surrounded the eyes with teal shadow and added a touch of silver and gold highlights under each eye.

The lips were done in a beige lip color using Shiseido Automatic Lip Crayon in LC1 and the cheeks and lashes were not touched.

Fantastic!

Narciso Rodriguez Fall 2008 Collection

GET THE LOOK: The makeup for the show was beautiful and who better than Dick Page to create this gorgeous face. Healthy, nourished skin as seen here can take ten years from your face. Page added luminosity and a youthful sheen to the skin by patting a rosy cream stick and focusing on the cheeks. “It catches the light and adds an ephemeral transparency,” says Page.

INSIDER TIP: Page emphasized the importance of only powdering where you really need it, like your forehead and chin and suggested sweeping a translucent powder which is lighter in weight and will let the rest of your face glow.

You can purchase the color stick blush in Rouge Flush used at the show at Sephora.com.

It is a gorgeous color any time of the year.
