Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Crème Compact.

One of my favorite tinted moisturizers is now available in a new cream, or as Laura says, "crème"  form. What's not to love? The formula is similar, but even easier to apply and much easier for travel. Meet Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Crème Compact.

The lightweight crème formula is super easy to blend on with a sponge or even fingers. I even like using my favorite makeup brush to apply. The finish is super soft, subtly dewy and makes skin look very natural, yet almost flawless.  With an SPF 20 and a hint of color, this portable compact is perfect for travel and touch ups on the go.

There are twelve shades to choose from.

• Porcelain - for very fair skin tones
• Blush - for fair skin with pink undertones
• Nude - Light beige for fair to light skin tones
• Sand - for light to medium skin tones
• Bisque - for light neutral complexions with balance of yellow and pink undertones
• Fawn - for medium skin with pink tones
• Almond - for light medium skin tones
• Tawny - medium skin tone with neutral undertones
• Caramel - for light tanned & olive complexions with yellow undertones
• Tan - medium to dark skin tones
• Walnut - for rich, deep skin tones
• Mocha - for deep complexions with a balance of yellow and red undertones

Right now, I am using the color Fawn to blend nicely with my self-tan. It is a medium shade with pink undertones. It looks darker in the compact than it is. Remember, it may look like a foundation, but it is still a tinted moisturizer. The color is more like a wash of color, so it is lighter when going on, and more forgiving than the liquid formula.

The Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Crème Compact is for sale for $45.00 right now online at lauramercier.com and in Sephora.

L’Oréal Paris True Match Super-Blendable Makeup.

L’Oréal Paris has just extended the range of their cult-favorite True Match Super-Blendable Makeup to 33 shades! Yes, there is truly a perfect shade for all women.

The foundation line now represents the universe of skin color and are guaranteed to match 100% of all skin tones. Finally, a brand that gets it. As none of us come in the same shape or size, none of us have nearly the same complexion. Start looking within your color family, Warm, Cool, or Neutral and then look for your perfect shade. The best thing is, if you don't find your perfect shade the first time, just return the shade and go up or down a shade until you find your true match.

True Match Super-Blendable Makeup has come just in time for me, as my glow is fading and I have stopped self-tanning. I need a makeup for in between seasons and this one is perfect. As the name suggests, it is super-blendable.  I like to apply it with a damp Beautyblender sponge, but is also easy to apply using fingers by pressing it into the skin, starting form the middle of the face and blending out. The foundation blends seamlessly, as it mimics that of my skin and lasts all day when layered over one of my favorite makeup primers.

NARS Eyeliner Stylo.

If there were any time that bold, defined eyes were in, it is now. With strong colors, cat eyeliner and defined lines taking center stage, NARS new Eyeliner Stylo is one eyeliner you want in your makeup bag.

The Eyeliner Stylo is a liquid liner in a thin, felt tip marker like pen. It lines and defines with precision, in one smoothe stroke. The formula is pigment based, so the color is always even. It really is one of the easiest liquid liners I have ever used. The liner is very long-lasting too, but simply removes with cleanser.

Your fall eye will be accented, easily, in one of the four shades:

• Carpates - Black
• Nuku Hiva - Brown
• Atlantic - Navy
• Koala - Grey

Look for the Eyeliner Stylo now at narscosmetics.com and Sephora. Each liner sells for $27.00.
