Lesson Du Jour 4.14.09

Starting tomorrow and ending on April 20th, Nars is offering free mini makeovers at Henri Bendel. They’re bringing out their brand spankin new summer color collection and will help you create a fresh summer look. The milky pink peach Beliza lipgloss is calling my name. You’ll also get a free sample of Nars foundation with your consultation. Make up consultations are by appointment only - call Bendel’s at 212-904-7954 to schedule yours.

And if you’d rather take a different route, a more hands on approach to learning the art of makeup application, YSL’s Artistic Advisor Val Garland is teaching a master class at Saks on April 23. The class costs $50 but the fee’s redeemable in product.

This is a great opportunity for anyone in NYC and interested in learning about makeup or getting a NARS foundation freebie :)

Brush Du Jour: MAC 109

I love makeup brushes and I have a lot but one I have been consistently reaching for to use with EVERYTHING is the MAC 109.
I have been using this for liquid foundation (Chanel Vita Lumiere: HG of Liquids), powder foundations (Mac's Mineralize Skin Finish Natural), contouring, highlighting, blushes (Mac's Grand Duos- perfect for this to get to both sides) and my beloved and favorite MSF's used as a highlighter or an all over face powder.

This is a great brush to get if you are just starting out with makeup or mac brushes because this one is truly a multi tasker.
