WhatsWear Trend Alert: Simple Makeup

Ida Hsiang on Nov 3, 2009 5:30 AM PST

Today, it is all about going au natural. Gone are the days of heavily done eyes and foundation. Makeup is no longer meant to cover skin, but complement it. Less is more and subtle is the way to go for spring/summer 2010. Instead of dramatic eyes, opt for just mascara and a highlighter in the corners of your eyes for a light and refreshed look. Swap out your foundation for a light bronzer. Heavy makeup will never stand up to the heat. A notable example of trend could be seen on the Miu Miu runway at Paris Fashion week. Models were done up in natural makeup, leaving little to the imagination. They even skipped the bronzer!

"Maintaining your skin is a lifelong commitment," says Chan. "Taking care of the skin is just like taking care of the body- it becomes part of a lifestyle. It is important to dedicate time to your customized plan to help achieve great skin." For starters, Aveda Enbrightenment Cleanser is gentle enough for frequent use and visibly improves skin clarity. Carol's Daughter Gentle Face Wash is also a great addition to your skin regime since it dissolves dirt and grime without stripping away moisture.

Ida Hsiang on Oct 9, 2009 5:19 AM PDT

It's always hard to dump someone. There are hurt feelings and harsh words, maybe a few tears, definitely some cocktails and desserts smothered in chocolate, caramel, and Oreo cookie crumbles. Well, get out the Edy's, Sephora. Everyone knows that Sephora and I (and Sephora.com) have been going steady since I was 15, but we're currently on the rocks. There's a new makeup store in my life, and its name is BeautyTicket.com. Yup, although Sephora was the love of my life, I just can't control my feelings for this much better beauty stop that recently rocked my world. But it wasn't just a one night fling; this is serious. I'm falling in love. This amazing website carries super great brands like YSL, Smashbox, Stila, Tarte, Urban Decay, and Pop, for up to 85% off. Wow.

Turmeric Steps Out Of The Kitchen And Into Your Beauty Kit!

Pauline Montupet on Sep 28, 2009 2:17 PM PDT

Turmeric has jumped from the kitchen spice rack and onto the bathroom shelf! With its peppery flavor and spicy aroma, what place does it have in your skin creams and cleansers? Aside from its traditional culinary uses, the medical and cosmetic benefits of Turmeric date back to ancient times. It has the powerful ability to brighten the complexion, even out skin tone, get rid of blemishes, and also help protect skin from free radicals and toxins. It's often used as a skin softener in Asia, mixed into a paste with milk cream, sandalwood powder and Rosewater and applied to the body. But forget mixing a home paste! Turmeric is now available in a large variety of new face and body products. Use a skin-brightening polish to take your skin from dull to radiant, or an Indonesian face mask to even out skin tone and draw out impurities. For cleansers to detox supplements and all beauty products in between - check out the slideshow for some Turmeric-based products!
