M.A.C. Helps Create the Perfect Brow!

by Beyond Beauty Basics

We could all use a little help in the brow department and I am the one who loves to tweeze so I am now paying the price. I have a few spots that I have to fill in everyday and I would be lost if it weren’t for my M.A.C. Brow Set.Brow sets are great because they are just like a mascara but for your brow and they will give you that little bit of color to fill in your brow, but not so it looks drawn on. M.A.C. Brow Set comes in 5 colors to match all brow hair colors and there is also a clear if you were born with fabulous lashes but just need to tame them.

All you do is take the wand, sweep it through your brow, and it will deposit a nice wash of color to give you a fuller, clean, and gorgeous brow without looking like Groucho Marx.

M.A.C. also makes another brow product called Brow Finisher, it comes in 5 shades and it is like a large pencil that deposits a wash of color but in a cool wax like texture. A little of this goes a long way, I have had a pencil for a month now and you would think it was brand new!

There is no excuse for bad brows when you have these fabulous products at your fingertips! Remember, the Brows frame the face so… you could do an incredible makeup, but if your brows are bad, you can forget it!

Available $13.50

Prescriptives Custom Concealer

by Beyond Beauty Basics

Tell me no secrets and I’ll tell you no lies. No one needs to just look at you and know that you went out for the past three nights and got absolutely no sleep.

I recently stopped by the Prescriptives counter to check out what might be new and low and behold, a custom concealer! If you have dark circles and you’re not the average Caucasian woman, you may have had difficulty at some point finding a concealer that matches your skin and actually conceals. Search no more! This concealer comes in whatever color you need because they actually make it for you (as you wait) based on your individual coloring (if you don’t know already, they also make custom foundations).

The texture of the concealer is also adjustable. Alone, it’s a matte consistency. If you find that it’s too matte, they add an oil-free moisture additive, it’s that easy. It has great coverage and sets on its own so you don’t need to powder over it (and risk being cakey under your eyes).

$32.00

New Make-up from Estee Lauder: Resilience Lift Extreme Ultra Firming Makeup

by Beyond Beauty Basics

This new cream foundation has a beautiful texture that just glides over the skin. It gives a medium amount of coverage (and according to Lauder actually lifts the skin, like the treatment product of it’s namesake). The foundation has a large range of colors (including the darker brown shades) so that most everyone can use it.

It hasn’t dropped in all stores yet, but the city stores got it a few days ago and are already running out.

I think Lauder has a hit with this one!
