CHANEL Introduces Lift Lumiere.

Who doesn't need a little extra lift? I know I do - pretty much all the time.

CHANEL is introducing Lift Lumiere - a Firming and Smoothing Fluid Makeup and Smoothing and Rejuvenating Eye Contour Concealer. Just in time for those of us who need it.

Drawing upon the advanced optical technology of the CHANEL Makeup Creation Studio, CHANEL introduces LIFT LUMIÈRE – a synergistic line of anti-age foundation and concealer.


I usually shy away from liquid makeup as I feel they settle in my lines, exactly where I don't want them to. But after being sold on La Mer Treatment Fluid Foundation last year, how could I not give this a try? The name Fluid does it for me too! I don't even think I need to mention that my eye area could always use some extra smoothing, rejuvenating and brightening too.

Here are the details, from CHANEL on these two new beauties:

LIFT LUMIÈRE FLUIDE Firming and Smoothing Fluid Makeup SPF 15

More than a foundation, LIFT LUMIÈRE FLUIDE Firming and Smoothing Fluid Makeup SPF 15 is the consummate skin-caring makeup. Not only does this unique formula even the skin tone as it helps deliver essential hydration, but the inclusion of firming polymers also provides skin with an impeccably smooth surface and the look and feel of an immediate ‘lift.’

Key among the de-aging ingredients: LIFTOPTIC, an innovative optical-illusion complex composed of spherical silicone powders that deflect light away from wrinkles, and photochromatic pigments that ensure colour stays true in any light.

The benefits of LIFT LUMIÈRE go beyond cosmetic. Enriched with a special botanical complex, LIFT LUMIÈRE FLUIDE helps improve skin’s firmness by protecting collagen and elastin from damaging free radicals. The luxurious formula also includes hyaluronic acid and Camellia oil to protect skin against dryness while providing a plush sense of comfort.

The creamy texture blends into skin beautifully so it will never accentuate fine lines or wrinkles. Provides medium to full coverage with a natural, luminous finish. Fragrance-free. SPF 15.

Available in nine shades. $65.00

LIFT LUMIÈRE CONCEALER Smoothing and Rejuvenating Eye Contour Concealer

LIFT LUMIÈRE CONCEALER Smoothing and Rejuvenating Eye Contour Concealer’s silky texture glides on to mask imperfections and instantly rejuvenate the eye area. Immediately, the micro-texture of the eye contours appears noticeably smoothed; skin looks fresher, brighter, feels more supple.

Cultivated to visibly reduce signs of fatigue in the vulnerable eye area, a Tetrapeptide targets the fluid that builds up under eyes to help measurably reduce the appearance of puffiness and effectively lighten the look of dark circles.

The silky texture allows for superior, crease-resistant blending anywhere and everywhere skin needs ‘perfecting.’ It can be applied not only to dark circles, but also to redness and blemishes. Provides medium to full coverage.

Available in three shades. $45.00

Look for them next month at your favorite CHANEL counter as well as online. I will definitely be trying them both after I go pick out my perfect shade and will report back.

Even Ellen Has a Hard Time Opening Simply Ageless.

When I was watching Ellen today, what do you know; Ellen decided to answer a letter from a viewer asking her if she ever tried to open the jar of Simply Ageless Foundation. I found it not only hilarious, but poignant as so many of you have had this problem too.

It seems even Ellen had a problem. Check it out!

Pick of the Day - Make Up For Ever HD Microfinish Powder.

I love the look of flawless, air brushed looking makeup. It is hard to achieve - that soft focus, a beautiful glow, coverage without looking made up. Luckily, with all of the HD television shows and the need for perfection, the makeup companies are working harder and harder to create the ultimate finish. And the transformation into HD makeup has come along way.

For the most beautiful soft focus to the skin and overall makeup look, Make Up For Ever HD Microfinish Powder is where it is at. Really.



I was afraid to try this at first. It looks like superbly finely milled baby powder and all I could think of was talc and cornstarch when looking at it. But this powder is not only talc free, it contains the finest silica to soften the appearance, never look oily and adds the most beautiful airbrush glow to the skin.

Leave it to MUFE to accomplish such a beautiful powder. You will become almost addicted to your look and even brush it on over bare skin to make you look a bit better, even without makeup.
