Too Faced markets their formula as crease-resistant with soft, blendable textures and rich color. Neptune has a soft, fairly dense and buttery texture with good color payoff. It’s very slightly powdery, but it does press and smooth down nicely with little pressure. When I wore it on the lid, it managed eight hours without creasing or fading. I was both surprised and rather impressed! Fans of softer, more buttery formulas (think theBalm, Urban Decay) will likely enjoy Too Faced’s as well. Each eyeshadow is packaged in a glossy black plastic case with a clear inner circle on the top.

TOO FACED was backstage creating the look at Corey Lynn Calter this past week. The look, described by Too Faced Global Artistry Director, Kalina Fernandez, was fresh and playful as if each model had “gotten into her mother’s makeup.”
Eyes: Models rocked a hot pink, teal or purple cat eye created with Too Faced Perfect Eyes Eyeliner in Perfect Peacock and Perfect Purple traced along the natural lash line and flicked out at the edges, past the upper lid.
Lips: Flirty lips were created with a swipe of Too Faced Lip of Luxury Lipstick in Drop Dead Red.
Face: For a fresh-faced look, models wore Too Faced Absolutely Flawless Concealer followed by Amazing Face Liquid Foundation and set with Primed & Poreless Powder. Cheekbones were accented with Ultra Flush Blush in Cocoa Rose.

Traveling Must-Haves by a World Traveler
I’d like to share with you what I take with me whenever I go traveling. From the High-Atlas Berber villages in Morocco, to the Pyramids in Cairo, to Red Sea just off the coast of Saudi Arabia, to Diocletian’s palace in Croatia, and through Nottingham’s rainy days, these products have proven their metaphorical “valor” for their resilient consistency and inherent capacity to work well across varying climate conditions.
I’ve found that my MAC Studio Careblend Pressed Power ($23.00) works for me in all whether conditions. Whether it be the 125 degree weather in Egypt or -30s in New Hampshire, this product provides the same consistent coverage and staying power across temperatures. I’d find that my bronzer and highlighter (listed below) are best suited for all temperatures below 85 degrees. If the temperature is higher, I risk looking shiny all day long. Finally Benefit’s One Hot Minute ($30.00) adds the perfect amount of matte color to my face to prevent me from looking washed-out in any climate.
Now, the eyes are almost a free-for-all. I tend to keep in neutral when I am traveling so as to not stand out as a foreigner too much. (Below is a more detailed list of eye products that I’ve found to last underwater in Jamaica and Croatia, as well as after a long day of work.) To the complete the visage, my must-have lip product is my Burt’s Bees Sun Protect Lip Balm ($3.99). This lip balm neutralizes the color of my lips and allows me to then apply pigmented lip product that is appropriate for the given situation. More often than not, I find myself using MAC Snob ($14.50) or Revlon’s Nude Attitude ($7.99).
Just remember: When traveling, less is more!
