Look Beauty is still an art when good makeup meant just soaps, perfumes and oils carefully selected after word-of-mouth recommendation. Take your pick! Show off your gorgeous eyes - wear eye makeup. When your makeup is completed it should look natural. That means avoiding colors that clash. If you have dark skin and hair you will look better in darker shades; light colors will make you look washed out. If your hair and skin tone are light, light colors will look better on you. Dark makeup will make you look older and harsh. If you have oily skin, first use oil control moisturizer and foundation. Then be sure to wear loose powder, keeping pressed powder with you for touch ups.
Some women don't wear makeup because they are not sure how to use it and are afraid of being overdone. If you are unsure, start will light colors in your shade. Start slowly and add one product at a time. Maybe start with foundation, add mascara, blush or lipstick. If you are not used to wearing makeup, using a lot a first may be a little too much for you, so start slowly. The bottom line is a little is better than none.

Laura Mercier Lip Kisses (SPF 15)

Terrific! This is by far one of the best lipsticks I've ever used! It is lightweight and doesn't cause my dryness-prone lips to chap mercilessly. The flavor is delicious and my only regret is that Laura Mercier doesn't give us more color choices. Bronze Goddess is my favorite. You can use it in all seasons.
color nice, but won't use again After going as organic as possible in food now I am thinking of doing this with cosmetics. The colors are nice in the Mercier line but it feels kind of heavy on the lips - I don't think I would have noticed this before I tried organic things. It's hard to describe but I can definitely feel a difference now when it's got more natural ingredients. And a little scary that there are warnings on the package saying I should stop using it if I get reactions and rashes. Maybe I should not use it before I get symptoms!!
feels and smells great! If you want something that's between a lipstick and a gloss, this is it! It goes on smoothly and has a fresh, slightly shiny finish. And, it smells great. My best makeup purchase in a looooong time!
