Anna Sui Eye Gloss 002
"THE HAVE TO HAVE PRODUCTS TO ADD TO YOUR KIT!"

Are you up for adding a few new little treats 'n treasures to zshoozsh up your kit...

Anna Sui Gold PencilI couldn't go past the Anna Sui counter w/out being tempted by something luscious for her glitter goddesses! Some of my fav's are her brilliant Anna Sui Eye Gloss eye gloss (001 - in silver:), a beautiful creamy textured eyeliner in soft gold w/ a glimmer of fine sparkle, and who can resist her luminous bath crystals...
For beautiful glowing cheeks, a sheer covering of Vincent Longo's ever so summer sunset creme shadow in limestone, creates a soft flush. Hot off the press for MAC the sheer antique gold "leisuretime" eye shadow all over. Define w/ Shu Uemura's metallic olive eye shadow shaded into the outer edge of your lashline to smudge out your liner.

When I put the question of fav products to those in the know MAC, She, Anna Sui and Stila came up tops! Here's what other "Pro" makeup mavens + beauty junkies had to say:

Aly, of WigEnvy, can't live without her Shu Uemura seal brown eyebrow pencil. While the Anna Sui pale jade eye gloss (002) combined w/ a dark purple-charcoal eyeliner (203 )adorn her eyes, Anna Sui Nail Polish 116Aly finishes the look w/ matching pale jade polish (116) for added nail sparkles.
Being a beauty junkie, flawless skin is a prerequisite: "I love my Jurlique aromatic drops in rose/chamomile for morning and night, and I have to say 'party blend' is a fav essential oil pick me up at work or where ever necessary!".

Seattle based actress, Amy is a big fan of Bumble and BumbleBumble and Bumble hair products. "They smell great, are all natural and don't leave my hair feeling weighty OR unnourished" she says of her gorgeous, naturally spiraled locks.
A makeup maven in the making, Amy "still can't go past MAC's Full Coverage foundation for bright lights and a fifties look", but her day to day makeup is pared down this year as being on stage means wearing so much at work and Amy prefers the "no-makeup makeup look to give her skin a breather..."

Opera Australia's makeup maestro, David, is into She's pearl glitter (the one in the I Dream of Jeannie bottle :) - for its holographic shimmer. Ben Nye "lumiere luxe powders" have captivated David's creative flair - and who could not love their intense metallic colors such as iced gold, Indian copper, Aztec gold + ice, completing the range w/ the ice lipstick collection - winter ice, silver ice and gold ice... But his "can't live w/out - for the quickest, precision eyelining" has to be Shiseido's fine liner - a felt-tip pen style liquid eyeliner (in black) that glides on effortlessly for the finest or thickest of lines.

ChiChi LipstickMeanwhile, in the Melbourne Network 10 makeup room, the team love MAC all round, esp for studio fix foundation + pro palette color convenience. Up there w/ the best, ChiChi's socialite lippie - the funky silvery peony creamy lipstick is hot property in the makeup room.
Another socialite fan from 10 is news reader Jennifer Hanson, who loves to complete her look w/ ChiChi's illuminating powder stack (silver/purple, silver/pink, silver/white combo). To keep her beautiful skin in shape, Jennifer rates Clarins gentle exfoliating refining treatment and MD Formulations AHA cream high on her list of her must haves for her kit.

This seasons looks are more about a great makeup that requires minimum fuss to maintain.
