Mally's Makeup Tips for Every Age.

Mally Roncal, celebrity makeup artist behind some of the most beautiful faces such as Beyoncé! and her own makeup line Mally Beauty, she knows a lot about makeup and what works for everyone. Specifically Mally has a few makeup tips that she shares with everyone, no matter what age they are.

Mally's Makeup Tips for Every Age

Shimmer

Shimmer shouldn’t be too thick at any age. Instead, opt for a fine shimmer that just adds a touch of light. Apply it to your brow bone, cheekbones and down the center of the nose. Try Mally Beauty Believable Bronzer. It contains a Blush, Highlighter and Bronzer in one palette. $40.00.

Pink Cheeks

Pink cheeks work on ALL ages – I even encourage women in their 60’s and 70’s to wear bright color on their cheeks. It brightens up the skin so you can be radiant all day long. Try Mally Beauty 24/7 Illuminating Blush. A special, dry-texture cream lays a base of beautifully illuminated light on the skin, while the natural blushing powder works with the base to give you a natural, lit-from-within look that lasts. $35.00

Red Lips

No matter how old or young you are, a red lip is a classic and fool proof way to complete your look. If  you are in your 20’s, opt for a brighter more orange based red. Work a true, bold red if you are in your 40’s. Try Mally Beauty Red Lip Kit. It contains 3 products; a Primer, a creamy lip liner and either a cool, neutral or warm red Vitamin E infused Lipstick $35.00

Too Faced Boudoir Eyes Soft & Sexy Eye Shadow Collection.

Calling all neutral eye look lovers, there is a new palette that you have to know about. This one is designed to give eyes that soft, sexy, neutral look we all love. Introducing Too Faced Boudoir Eyes.

"Create eyes that are so big, dreamy, and sultry that when someone looks into them, they get lost inside." - Jerrod Blandino, founder Too Faced Cosmetics.

Nine shades in all, this collection of shadows contains three larger base shadows and six accent shades. Five of the shades are new to the brand. They are super soft, silky and yes, even sexy with finishes from matte, to shimmery to full on sparkle.

The set includes a little cheat sheet with three very easy to create looks to make it easy to make the most of all the colors.

The shades (you have to get a kick out of the names):

  • In the Buff
  • Fuzzy Handcuffs
  • Voulez-Vous
  • Satin Sheets
  • Sugar Walls
  • Garter Belt
  • Birthday Suit
  • Lap Dance
  • French Tickler

I am loving the new tin palette - it is a definite upgrade form the brands usual cardboard cartons.

Of course my new favorite shade in the palette, Lap Dance, is broken. :(

The Boudoir Eyes Soft & Sexy Eye Shadow Collection retails for $36.00 and is available at Sephora, Ulta, Macy's and toofaced.com.

M·A·C Mineralize Rich Lipstick.

M·A·C is expanding their Mineralize line of products to now include lipstick. Yay! You know I love lip products and I was so excited when I read about the launch of Mineralize Rich Lipstick. Now that they are here and I was sent a few to try, I could not wait to tell you about them. They are good!

M·A·C’s love affair with lips has led to the launch of a new M·A·C masterpiece. Introducing MAC Mineralize Rich Lipstick – it’s larger in size and scope and lavishes lips with nutrient-rich moisture. Featuring a luxurious formula and gorgeous colour, enhanced with a mineral moist complex that provides lips with nourishment and lasting hydration. Lightweight colour glides on with ease for an intense bright with shade retention.

There are twelve shades in the collection and they are all very wearable. The colors are pigmented, but softly, as in they are not "look at me" lip colors. The colors are buildable though. The finish is somewhat glossy, like a cream gloss.

  • Style Surge - Neutral coral cream
  • Luxe Naturale - Light beige cream
  • Glamour Era - Mid-tone warm brown frost
  • Posh Tone - Soft warm nude cream
  • Lady At Play - Mid-tone cool tangerine
  • Lush Life - Deep cool plum
  • Dreaminess - Soft cool pink cream
  • Grande Dame - Mid-tone neutral rose cream
  • All Out Gorgeous - Deep warm red
  • Everyday Diva - True red cream
  • Elegant Accent - Mid-tone warm rose cream
  • Divine Choice - Mid-tone cool pink cream

The formula is very smooth and light feeling on the lips - very buttery soft. It is made up of 77 minerals to instantly nourish lips.

The new shape of the lipstick tube is different as it takes a nod in the direction of the other Mineralize product caps. It is made of metal and is suprisingly magentized. The cap "clicks" into place on the base.

M·A·C Mineralize Rich Lipstick sells for $22.00 each. Look for them now at all M·A·C locations, Nordstrom, Macy's and online at maccosmetics.com.
