Each year, I take a look at what’s on offer in the sunscreen world. Our family goes through 12-15 tubes in a summer, so I’m price-conscious. What I put on my face ( see the articles Clinique : A Gorgeous Lipstick, A Fabulous Sunscreen and 2 Estee Lauder Product Reviews : A Best-In-Class Sunscreen and a So-So Foundation ) and what my kids cover themselves with at the beach or the pool is not the same product.

June 9, 2008
By far my favorite Aveda product is the makeup. The pigments are lovely, the colors, for the most part, are very wearable though the whole collection looks shinier every time I look at it.

Foundation mistakes are the most obvious
Foundation is the most critical makeup item and the most difficult to buy. These are the stumbling blocks:
1. The time it takes to find a perfect color.
2. The confidence you have in the advice of the woman at the counter who sells by commission, under department store lights.
3. Buying discontinued [...]

November 23, 2007
After reading the article on light concealers, you’ll recall why concealer becomes more beneficial as you get older. The lighter concelear is used in shadowed areas. It also brings forward certain areas of the face which helps accentuate the bone structure.
Why you need a skin-tone concealer
The darker concealer should be an exact match [...]
YES, YOU REALLY DO NEED 2 CONCEALERS. Part 1: THE LIGHT.
November 22, 2007
Concealer is the one makeup item that becomes more useful with age. As you get older, the layer of fat under the skin becomes thinner and the shadowed areas on the face (around the eyes, around the nose) are accentuated. The skin also has areas of imperfection like sunspots and broken veins that are easily [...]
