Fall 2010 Beauty Trend: Soft Matte Finish

When it comes to skin texture, a glowy soft matte finish proved the overwhelming trend on the fall runways.  To maintain this look throughout the day, a high quality pressed powder is essential.

Typically loose powder trumps pressed, but this REVLON Photo Ready is the biznass.  Finely milled and non-creasing, it does more than mattify: it provides a final ladylike touch.

Dust on with a big puff brush to dim your shine, even your tone, and properly finish your face for fall.

Unless coverage is a serious issue for you, powder is an area where you can save a little dough and move down market.  Withhold your splurges for concealer and foundation.

Cruelty-Free Beauty: EcoTools

Make-up brushes present a challenge; most are made from from animal hair like sable, badger, squirrel, pony, or goat.

Instead of participating in the skinning of our animal friends, try EcoTools.  Endorsed by vegan Alicia Silverstone, these brushes are soft, durable, non-shedding, and cruelty-free.  They have a high-end feel at a drugstore price.
