Question of The Month

Blush or Bronzer?

You can use either or both, depending on your skin tone and the look that you’re going for.  If you want to go with both try the following: apply a powder bronzer like New York Color Smooth Skin Bronzing Face Powder to the spots that the sun naturally hits (forehead, nose, chin).  Finish off with a dusting of New York Color Cheek Glow Blush on the apples of your cheeks.

Featured Questions

What is primer and do I need to use it?

Primer is used to create a smooth base underneath your makeup. While it’s not a necessity, it can be a great addition for special occasions when you want to ensure a flawless look that will last.

I never know what shade of foundation/powder to buy - how can I get the best color match?

Hold the product up to your jawline and look for the closest match.  Still in doubt? Aim for something sheer with a yellow base which usually will look the most natural.  If when you get home, you find the color just doesn’t work – don’t panic!  Many stores accept returns – check your store’s policy before buying for stress-free color selection.

What colors are hot for eyes?

The bright and vivid blues, greens, purples and yellows are still going strong! Now that summer’s here it’s even easier to sport these eye popping colors since most folks are tan (whether from the sun, a bottle or makeup) which helps show off the shades. Ease into it with a sheer wash of your chosen shade or some well placed liner. Check out New York Color Color Wheel Mosaic Eye and Waterproof Eyeliner for some bright ideas.

Do I have to match the nail color on my nails and toes?

While matching all your digits is the classic way to go, it’s by no means written in stone.  If you think you’ll feel odd with two completely different colors, try two shades of the same family, using the darker on your toes.
