When I received Physician’s Formula‘s latest launches this week, I spilled the bag out onto my floor as I normally do and shifted through making a mess of packaging on my floor and on my hand of color swatches. I stopped to pay closer attention when I noticed they had new products called “PH Matchmaker,” which is basically genius makeup – a bronzer, blush and lipgloss that work with the PH in your skin and lighting to customize your perfect colors.

We all experience nights whether restless or reckless that quickly turns into mornings where we wake up looking just a little less than alert. But as the story goes, when that alarm buzzes, it’s time to get up and hide our tired eyes. I got the scoop from Physicians Formula Celebrity Makeup Artist, Joanna Schlip, on how to look alert with a few makeup tricks.
1. Line the top of your eye three quarters of the way starting where the color of your eye begins and take it out to the spot where the crease in your eye ends. Creating a thick line on the top gives the illusion of fuller lashes, which opens the eye. Try Physicians Formula Eye Booster 2-in-1 Lash Boosting Eyeliner + Serum, $10.95.
2. Trace a soft, thin line underneath your lashes on the bottom of your eye. Make sure you avoid the inner rim. It will only make them appear smaller.
3. Smudge a highlighter or a shimmery eye shadow underneath your brow bone and place a tad in the inner corners of your eyes for an instant pick-me-up.
4. Fill in your brows from the arch to the outside of your eye to add lift. I like the Estee Lauder Artist’s Eye Pencil, $19.
5. Apply false lashes to the outer most corners of your peepers, curl them and add mascara.
And woo-la! Grab a grande non-fat latte with an extra shot of espresso and no one will ever know about your rough night.
What are your early morning pick-me-ups?
Everyone knows you don’t need to spend a fortune to look like a million bucks. Well, good news is after reporting on all of the backstage beauty trends and styles of New York Fashion Week’s Fall 2010 runways last spring I found several ways to take the hottest looks from runway to real way and will be talking about them for my next couple TV segments. Here’s the scoop…
No matter what look you’re going for a they all start with a clear complexion. I always recommend using a cleanser that’s effective yet affordable. Noxzema‘s Original Deep Clean collection is great because the formula gets down into your pores to rid impurities and moisturizes your skin. The brand also came out with an acne controlling line for adults that prevents and helps treat breakouts called Clean Blemish Control. It’s secret ingredient: salicylic acid. For those of you who need something a little stronger (more frequent breakouts), they have a line called Triple Clean. Unlike some acne control products, these don’t strip your skin of moisture, which is key. The scent of Noxzema alone does it for me! All products are available for under $5.
Backstage at fashion week colorful liner was in. You can make your peepers pop with Physician’s Formula Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Gel Cream Liners, $11. Each set comes with three shades and are packaged to compliment different eye colors. You can…
This time last year I was in LA getting ready to do a beauty segment for E! on secrets of the stars beauty habits on the red carpet during the Emmys. The experience was incredible! I was with E!‘s own Ashlan Gorse and chatted it up for the rest of the day with people like Padma Lakshmi, Blake Lively, Drew Barrymore and the cast of Mad Men.
This year, I cannot wait to watch the Emmys and have some beauty predictions of what type of makeup looks the nominees will be sporting from Physician’s Formula Celebrity Makeup Artist, Joanna Schlip.
“At this year’s Emmy’s we’ll be seeing two very distinct looks,” remarked Joanna. ”I’m betting on retro glam and and feminine using monochromic, knock-out neutrals.”
Last year, Leighton Meester sported the rocked glam look in a chic white dress perfectly. It’s all about flawless skin, defined brows and a sharp red lip. Joanna also thinks the cat eye will be a huge focal point, but this time, more exaggerated.
Will you be tuning into the Emmys this year? Who are you excited to see on the red carpet?
After a conversation with some of my girlfriends I discovered that bronzer was one of the top beauty products they couldn’t live without and observed that some of them weren’t even wearing the right shade for their skin tone. That being said, I decided to help them out by investigating the techniques on how to choose and apply the magic dust. Physician’s Formula Celebrity Makeup Artist Joanna Schlip gave me the scoop.
The Top 2 Golden Rules of Being A Golden Goddess:
1. Obviously our skin gets darker in the summer and lighter in the winter, which means you need to change your bronzer with the seasons. Always use a bronzer that’s two shades darker than your skin tone.
2. Use…
