Electric Holiday 2009 FOTD
Hey Glossies,
Recently, I went to the first holiday party of the season. It was fun times with fabulous friends!!
I planned to do a smoky look with my newly-acquired NARS Night Breed, but I decided to use the L’Oreal HiP Duo in Electrified. Electrified duo = plum-infused silverish-taupe and metallic plum. I love this combo!!!
I also wore the FACE Atelier Diamond Pink lipstick. I love pink lipstick because every woman, regardless of skin tone, can wear a shade of pink. I like the Diamond Pink color because it is sheer yet buildable. The texture is great and when the color, finally faded, my lips were left soft and supple.
- MUFE HD Foundation 177
- Clinique Clinique Perfectly Real Liquid Foundation – 47
- Napolean Perdis Foundation Stick #7
- FACE atelier’s Ultra Loose Powder – Translucent
- MAC MSF Natural – Medium Deep
I really liked the FACE Atelier Loose Powder. A little goes a long way, so to my Women of Color, do not fear this product does not ash. Since the MSF Natural products do not reduce shine, I suggest wearing the Loose Powder under the MAC MSF Natural. The Loose Powder kept shine at bay for hours and I love that. My skin is not oily in general, but since the weather has turned cold, the heat goes up and the sweat can begin. lol
Have a wonderful holiday season!

I was introduced to the cosmetic brand, FACE atelier via Specktra.net. Some of the members loved the products, especially the foundations. I was re-introduced to this brand at The Makeup Show in Los Angeles. The Pro-Team was quite helpful. FYI: FACE atelier is the official makeup sponsor of Madonna’s Confessions Tour.
I was matched up to the Ultra Foundation PRO in Cocoa #10, which happens to be the darkest shade FA carries in the line. FACE atelier needs to create darker shades because it is the right thing to do, BUT FA does offer products called Zero Plus and Zero Minus to foundation darker or lighter. The foundation costs $30 for the size is a bit steep, but I love it.
I really like the coverage and the liquid does not burn or tingle my face like some other high-end brands. I love the fact the foundation is unscented. There is no SPF in the products, so users can always add the desirable number of SPF.
Sidebar: Use the Beauty Blender sponge for smooth application. All beauty mavens should be using the Beauty Blender and cleanser, which is the best EVER!!!
Face Atelier products can be found online as well as in salons and boutiques around the world. I wish that FACE Atelier was available in more stores.
