All The Pretty Palettes

'Tis the season when we may be dressing up and going out a little more. Both require putting your best face forward. A pretty palette can effortlessly help you create unique looks for different occasions.  I played in the makeup aisles to find the best products for you.

Day & Light Eye Shadow Palette

I happen to own this limited edition palette. I wear every one of these colors. It is a marvelous mix of metallics and matte neutral shades. It actually is one of the best palettes I have ever owned. Highly recommended. Only $39.

Laura Geller Party in a Palette Set of 4 Full Face Palettes

Laura's baked powders are really great and finely milled. This has to be the best value of the season. You actually get four palettes. Each one is different. All of the blushes are matte. Add the glow from the highlighters in each palette. The shadows really last. Bonus is that this set is one of Oprah's Favorite Things for 2022. Keep one for yourself and gift the other three sets.

Sun Kissed Beauty

{ Via:  Vogue }

Who doesn't love the look of being kissed by the sun? It's youthful and healthy looking.  But the sun actually can age our face, and no one wants that! Thankfully, there are products that can help us out.  For this pretty post, I took a long virtual walk down the beauty aisles of the best brands. This roundup features my favorites, and the most interesting products for a sunny glow from sun up to sundown.

HERE: 11 Ways To Get Kissed By The Sun

Air Brush Bronzer
A next generation matte innovation is a new product for a naturally sun kissed flawless looking complexion. Best yet, this powder smooths and blurs pores and imperfections. There's a shade for
 every skintone.

Bronzers
A new collection of bronzed hues for the eyes, lips, face and body brings sun-kissed color to you for a golden-hour glow. I am interested in that
 Strobe Body Lotion!
MAC Cosmetics

Glow Away
Here's a bronzing coconut body stick. "A waterproof, all-over body bronzer for an instant, natural-looking glow. Blurs the look of imperfections to make skin appear smoother." You simply swipe on arms or legs, and quickly blend with fingertips. How interesting! Click the link below and watch a video.
Marc Jacobs Beauty

Matte Radiance Baked Powder
Matte Radiance Baked Powder is available in 5 effortless bronze shades to wake up your skin with a radiant glow.  I wear color 03, and love it. No sparkle or glitter at all. Just a radiance or sheen.
Laura Mercier

Bronze-n-Brighten

This powder has been baked, and then hand finished in Italy. Said to create an incredibly natural tanned look.  Haven't tried this but I do like her baked highlighters.

Laura Geller

Shimmer Brick Compact

I love her shimmer bricks. Shown above is
bronze." Another product handmade in Italy, it will give you radiance and light. It's a multi-tasker, too. You can use 
it as eyeshadow. 
Bobbi Brown

Trish McEvoy Tanning Drops
A very interesting product. You mix it with any moisturizer, except Vitamin C Cream. It instantly transforms any serum, oil, cream, or foundation into a custom self-tanner. Within four hours, the weightless formula will give skin an even natural glow. Pretty cool, right? Her products are luxurious. I would trust 
this to work. 
Saks Fifth Avenue

Breezy Cream Bronzer
If powder is not your jam, this waterproof buildable cream applies like a breeze! It dries down to a matte finish. It's clean beauty.
Tarte Cosmetics

Shimmering Hair and Body Oil Spray

Oh how luxurious! Bronze Goddess is a shimmer spray that helps tame flyaway hair, reduce frizz and enhance gloss and shine. Lightly scented with the sun-kissed Bronze Goddess Eau Fraîche fragrance. I bet it is pretty in wet hair at the pool.
Estee Lauder

Countersun Tinted Mineral Sunscreen Mist
I love the idea of this product. Formulated with non-nano zinc oxide and California poppy extract, this physical (not chemical) SPF 30 formula provides an effective shield from UVA and UVB rays while the tint helps camouflage imperfections and even out skin tone.

PERRICONE MD
