Get the Look with Revlon: 

Rachel Brosnahan at the Critics Choice Awards 2019

Get Rachel's gorgeous look with Revlon! Here is the beauty breakdown from Revlon's Lisa Aharon:

Who: Rachel Brosnahan, Critics Choice Awards Nominee for Best Actress

Makeup by: Lisa Aharon for Revlon

Skin:

After prepping Rachel's skin, I buffed and blended Revlon Photoready Candid Natural Finish Anti-Pollution Foundation Porcelain from the center of the face outward. Revlon PhotoReady Candid Antioxidant Concealer in Banana worked seemlessly under the eyes and in the spots that needed a bit more coverage. Both are lightweight with a natural finish that I love. To finish the complexion, I lightly dusted Revlon PhotoReady Candid Setting Powder keeping it mostly in the center of the face and forehead. A cool rose tone is a favorite for Rachel's porcelain skin, so I used Revlon Powder Blush in the shade Rosy Rendevous. I started on the apples of the cheeks and blended slightly under the cheek bone towards the hairline. I then patted Revlon PhotoReady Insta-Fix Highlighting Stick in Pink Light to make the high point of the cheekbones radiate slightly. 

Eyes:

ColorStay Brow Creator in Soft Brown helped me to define, shape, and slightly fill in Rachel's brows. Filling in and sharpening the brow helps to frame the eyes and guide where the shadow is placed next. Since the suit was clean and white, we decided to have fun with the color on the eyes. I used Revlon ColorStay Creme Eyeshadow in Merlot as the base layer for a bold effect. We kept the shape a bit 6-s to compliment the high ponytail. To add dimension and brightness, I added the light purple shade of the Revlon Colorstay Looks Book Palette in Insider. I used a blend of the light purple and pink shade from the same palette for the inner corner of the eye as well. Revlon ColorStay Creme Gel Eyeliner in Black helped to intensify the lash line. A few coats of Revlon Volumazing Mascara added both lenght and thickness to Rachel's aleady beautiful lashes. It's long lasting so I can rely on it not to flake or smudge on a red carpet. 

Lips:

It's been very dry in LA. So, I've been reaching for extra moisture whenever I can. Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick has a rich amount of pigment but also delivers the hydration I needed for Rachel's lips. After trying a few lighter shades, we landed on Bare Affair to complete her mod makeup look. 

I am totally going to recreate this look! My skin is the same super fair shade as Rachel. So, I think these products would work really well for me. Plus, I am super excited about the new PhotoReady Candid Collection!

Are you ready to get glowing for Spring? Spring weather and a change of season is just what I needed to invigorate my makeup routine. These new launches from Mally Beauty are amazing! Some goregous products and some very unique ones as well! Let's dive right in, shall we?

Pure Pigment Melting Lip Powder:

What a unique product! Honestly, I have never tried anything quite like it. This is a loose powder color pigment...for the lips! 

Made in Korea and inspired by Korean beauty, this product is formulated with encapsulated pigments that break on contact to provide instant moisture. The Pure Pigment Melting Lip Powder keeps lips healthy and hydrated while delivering rich, long-lasting color. Harnessing the power of Silica Silyate, a hydrogel that transforms from powder to cream upon contact with the oils naturally produced by the skin, the formula melts onto lips and offers a hydrating, matte finish. It won’t smudge, budge or transfer during wear. You can tap the product onto your cheeks and blend with your fingertips to wear as a blush too!

This come packaged as duos. I tried the following: Soft Nude/Tender Rose and Mellow Mauve/Gentle Pink. The shades are super flattering and I love the nice long wear of these, too! Plus, the packaging is super cute.

This pretty duo contains a Glowing Goddess Luminizer (in a universal glowing shade) and Blush & Bronzer Brush. Gold toned highlighters are so on-trend right now. So, this is a perfect addition to my makeup routine. I love the pop of glow that this adds to my cheeks. I like to add this highlighter as the final step to my makeup routine. Plus, the brush is just the perfect size to add a sweep of glow to the top of my cheekbones, my browbones, nose, and chin. I tend to hit all of those spots for an all-over, yet sculpted, glow! This highlighter can be super glittery. So, be sure to use a light hand when you apply.

This duo retails for $32.00 on QVC for the set.

Blushing Brilliance Blush & Highlighter Wand:
This sleek little wand is great for a quick swipe of color for blush and for highlighting. It's sleek design makes it perfect for travel or your handbag. Plus, the slim shape can give you very precice application and results. I like to swipe it on and then blend it in with my fingers.

Shimmer, Shape & Go:
This is a gorgeous trio of cheek color and highlight/contour sticks. These creamy and chubby sticks work beautifully together to give beautiful rosey cheek color, deep contours, and a pop of glowy highlight. I find these super easy to use. Just swipe them on, blend in with fingers, and you are all set!

Mally's secret to getting in shape? This set of three face-shaping crayons! Featuring a weightless, creamy, super-blendable formula, the Shimmer, Shape & Go Highlight & Contour trio reveals the secret to easy contouring and highlighting.

Create sculpting shadows, illuminating highlights, and a soft blush for radiant-looking skin. The chubby crayon design makes application fast, easy, and mess-proof; simply swipe on and blend for a defined, "perfois" face!

Christie Brinkley Authentic Beauty: 

Gorgeous Cosmetics for Eyes, Lips, and Cheeks

Christie Brinkley has done it again! I am already a big fan of her Authentic Skincare line. I absolutely love Authentic Skincare produts. So, you know that I am super excited to try out her newly released cosmetics line. Introducing: Christie Brinkley Authentic Beauty.

Not to mention, who doesn’t want to look like Christie Brinkley??? She is just as gorgeous as when she first started modeling decades ago. Have you seen what she looks like latley? The woman does not seem to age and seriously only gets more lovely as she gets older. So, of course, I want to know her secrets. Whatever she is doing is absolutely working for her! 

So, now Supermodel Christie Brinkley, known for her timeless beauty, is sharing her skincare, make up, and makeup tips with the rest of the world!

Taking her passion for beauty, Christie just launched her very own color cosmetics, Christie Brinkley Authentic Beauty, an easy-to-use collection inspired by her must-have products that are now your go-to essentials.

Makeup Tip from Christie:

To achieve Christie’s youthful look, it’s all about concealer and Christie shares a personal trick she swears by - using two concealers: one that's paler than your skin tone and one that's slightly darker. Take the Christie Brinkley Authentic Beauty Secrets And Lines Under Eye Concealer in the lightest shade that compliments your skin and apply it to the inner crease of your eye and at the highest point under your brow. Using a darker conceler, apply under the eye and blend the two shades together resulting in total coverage that naturally enhances your eyes. 

Unfortunately for me, Christie Brinkley Authentic Beauty does not have a concealer light enough for my super fair (almost porcelain) skin tone. However, if the concealers work for your skin tone, you should totally try her tips (above).
