Celebrity and Beauty.com makeup artist Tina Turnbow shared her secret for instant radiance. What is her secret? Well, it mostly has to do with bronzer and how and where you apply it.

I don't know about you, but this cold weather and my pasty white skin makes me want to bathe in Bronzer right about now.

Newness from ModelCo.

Launching in November, ModelCo has formulated two great new products for it's permanent line-up.



Miracle Veil - $38

Suitable for all skin types and dermalogically tested, Miracle Veil Skin Perfecting Fluid is a light-weight skin corrector that minimizes imperfections, disguises redness, lightens pigmentation, evens out skin tone and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles with SPF 14.  

The main active ingredient White Mulberry Root Extract works to brighten the skin with a lightening effect.  Plus, it balances the skin's pigmentation and protects against future discoloration by prohibiting the Tyrosinase activity, which contributes to the production of melanin in the skin. 

Miracle Veil is to be used  after moisturizer, prior to makeup application. Think of it as a makeup primer with some heavy duty benefits.



Luminosity Shimmer Stick - $28

This multi-purpose Luminosity Shimmer Stick adds a hint of shimmer and color to cheeks, eyes, lips and dรฉcolletage in a luminous
peachy pink.  It provides a sexy flush of color for a healthy, rosy complexion that compliments any skin tone. The luxurious, creamy formula glides on with a convenient stick applicator and blends effortlessly for sheer color and shimmering highlights. Accentuate, contour and instantly illuminate the skin.

These two new beauties will be available in November at Henri Bendel, Blue Mercury stores nationwide, www.sephora.com and www.modelco.com.au.


Must Have: Guerlain Terracotta Blush & Sun.

My faux tan has done a number on my skin. So much so that I am doing a week of exfoliation and giving my skin a break from the over drying self-tanners. Not that I won't go back to my self-tanning routine because I look and feel so much more healthy with a faux glow. In the meantime, I am kicking it up a bit with a bit more bronzer.

My latest bronzer fave is this must have from Guerlain, called Terracotta Blush & Sun. I can wear this beauty on it's own, or layered over a darker bronzer for the ultimate glow.


Can you get over that brush? I can't!

Terracotta Blush & Sun comes in three perfect, very wearable shades: Sun Light, a golden peach; Sun Kissed, for more of a rosey tan look; and finally Sun Tan, a golden bronze.
