Estee Lauder Nutritious Vita-Mineral Makeup Collection.

Mineral makeup seems to be all the rage these days. Natural and good for you makeup. Count me in. I was so excited to hear about this new Nutritious Vita-Mineral Makeup Collection from Estee Lauder, especially because it includes a liquid mineral makeup in the line-up.

Utilizing the best of Estée Lauder’s skin care technology and ingredients, Nutritious loose powder makeup and liquid makeup help protect skin, while delivering a boost of visible energy and radiance. Each Nutritious makeup product instantly erases the signs of fatigue and enhances the beauty of your skin with a natural finish.

 

Just look at all of the nutrients and good for you ingredients:

Pomegranate - one of the most nutrient-dense fruits ever discovered. The makeup utilizes the fruit’s numerous skin boosting nutrients and potent antioxidants such as Vitamins C and E as well as Iron and Potassium, to provide a burst of radiance to the skin for a healthy glow and immediate vibrancy. Pomegranate also works in the formula to help neutralize free radicals and protect the skin from harmful environmental conditions.
Titanium Dioxide
- to protect against armful UVA and UVB rays
Silica - gently absorb excess oil which also helps to provide a soft focus effect that scatters light and hides skin imperfections, as well as aids in a smooth and seamless application.

The final result? Natural and invisible coverage with a flawless, photo-friendly finish.

So, the choice is yours. Liquid or Powder. I cannot wear mineral powders, so liquid is my choice.

Nutritious Vita-Mineral Loose Powder SPF 15 Makeup is non-drying and is packaged in a clear jar with a band of the Nutritious line’s signature red and a golden metal cap featuring the Estee Lauder cartouche. For maximum portability, the powder comes with its own exclusive deluxe loose powder foundation brush that makes creating a seamlessly natural, flawless look a breeze.

Nutritious Vita-Mineral Liquid SPF 10 Makeup is the newest form to get your mineral makeup every day and provides additional moisturization. Packaged in a clear tube with a band of the Nutritious line’s signature red and a golden metal cap, the liquid makeup is easy to use at home or on-the-go. Simply apply a small amount of the foundation to the finger tip and dot a small amount of product on the nose, cheeks, chin, temples and between the brows – or wherever needed. For a perfect finish, use your finger tips or Estée Lauder’s Foundation Brush to blend the foundation, working from the center of the face outwards.

Like I said, the Vita-Mineral Liquid is my choice. It smoothes on beautifully and does leave a luminous, not shiny, finish to my skin. I only need a bit of setting powder to make it last the day. I was really impressed with it and will definitely be adding this into my foundation rotation. I can see me using it more and more in the Summer months though, as I will depend on the staying power and UV block that is built iin.

Nutritious Vita-Mineral Loose Powder SPF 15 Makeup and Nutritious Vita-Mineral Liquid SPF 10 Makeup i are each available in 6 shades. My perfect winter shade is 02, and 03 will probably suit my faux bronzed skin in the Summer. Each formula will sell for $33.50. Check them out at Estée Lauder counters nationwide and on www.esteelauder.com beginning in February 2009.

Kate, Anne and Angelina at the SAG Awards with Makeup by Lancôme.

The 15th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards aired live last night from The Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles . The celebrities shined on the red carpet and Lancôme has the exclusive details on the beauty looks created for Kate Winslet, Anne Hathaway and Angelina Jolie.

Kate Winslet

Kate looked gorgeous in a vibrant blue Narciso Rodriguez gown and dazzling Chopard jewels.

Celebrity makeup artist Jillian Dempsey played up Kate’s eyes with lots of black eyeliner, mascara and shimmering shadow paired with a soft neutral palette on her lips and cheeks. Jillian used Lancôme Artliner in Noir on the upper lash line and then lightly dusted Jillian Dempsey Professional for Avon Eyeshadow Trio in Pebble Wash on the eyelid. She finished the eyes with a few coats of Lancôme Ôscillation Mascara in Black. For the lips, she used Serge Lutens nude lip liner and filled in the entire lip. Finally, she applied Color Fever Gloss in Engaging, a very sheer nude shade, for a high-shine pout.


Anne Hathaway

Anne donned a beautiful white Grecian-inspired dress with gold detail at the neckline and waist.

Celebrity makeup artist Kate Lee created a dramatic smokey eye by applying dark eyeliner to the upper lash line and blended it on the eyelid. To make Anne’s eyes pop, she applied several coats of Lancôme Ôscillation Mascara in Black for a faux-lash effect. Kate opted for a soft, stained pout. She applied Lancôme Le Lipstique lip liner in Sheer Naturalto the entire lip, then coated the lips with Lancôme Color Fever Gloss in Seductive for a glossy finish.


Angelina Jolie

Angelina looked stunning in a dark, navy blue Max Azria gown.

Celebrity makeup artist Mary Burton wanted to create a 60’s look and chose to focus on Angelina’s eyes by applying lots of eyeliner and mascara. She used a liquid eyeliner (Lancôme Artliner in Noir) just above the lash line. To compliment Angelina’s eye color and to make her eyes really stand out, she applied a bluish grey eyeshadow (YSL Ombre Solo Double Effect Eyeshadow in #3 Blue Silk) to the eyelid. Finally, she applied several coats of Lancôme Courbe Virtuôse Mascara in Black. Mary added a touch of pink to the apples of the cheeks using Shu Uemura blush in M Pink 31. To create ultra-shiny and luminous lips, Mary used Lancôme Color Fever Gloss in Rose Jolie.
