Beauty Scoop – Age defying foundations that work

Beauty Scoop – Age defying foundations that work

There is a great new trend in makeup these days and it’s all about looking younger, fresher and more radiant.  Gone of the days of over-caked faces and looking stern and pasty white.  Today, makeup is all about looking younger, more beautiful and keeping your skin in tip-top condition. Products are popping up all over the place, with buzzwords like “vita-mineral”, “age-rewind”, “age-renew” and “age-defy”.  I tested out three products from three different cosmetics houses and brands, who have the likes of Caroline Murphy, Elle Macpherson and Chirsty Turlington as their brand ambassadors.

Winter has always been a season to smoulder, and you can play by the rules, by focusing on defining either the eyes or the lips.  Or you can break the rules and combine smokey eyes with sexy, provocative lips.  There is sexy and there is trashy when it comes to this look, but if you follow Penelope Cruz’ lead, you’ll break the rules with style and seduction. Personally, I like to play by the rules too, I don’t know if its just a safe zone or if I prefer to have one focal point, but I must admit, solid coloured lips with sexy, defined eyes really do look amazing together. So, here are some products I got to play with this week, and some I have yet to try but am just as intrigued.  These products will help you nail the winter smoulder look whether you’re playing it safe or living on the wild side.
