Summer-proof makeup!
Friday, July 29th, 2011Its muggy hot not sunny hot and this weather makes me not want to wear sunblock let alone makeup (I know no block is bad and I try to sit in the shade!). But while writing a beauty story for Self I was chatting with Emily Kate Warren, a wonderful makeup artist in NYC and we were talking about lipcolor that lasts really, after long-work days in AC and yucky humid days around town. Her suggestion: Tarte LipSurgence Lip Luster, $24. It goes on with the ease and of a pencil, has the shine of a balm and the rich pigment of a stain that really lasts. It’s a find, especially now. Plus its paraben, petrochemical and phthalets-free.
My other makeup discovery happened by chance at the Beach Club. Dashiell jumped into the three-feet and scraped his chin on the bottom of the pool. Ouch! He came out bleeding and I hustled him over the lifeguard for the first aid kit. While she fixed him up I couldn’t help but notice her insanely lustrous lashes. I was dying with curiosity and asked, “How can you keep your lashes so lush all day if you have to jump in the pool?” Apparently, lifeguards know their waterproof mascara and she told me she swears by Dior DiorShow BlackOut Waterproof Mascara, $24. And now I do too.
