“The look is a fresh face with a hint of coral – a girl who is too young to wear makeup.” – Gordon Espinet

Eyes: Girl Boy or Clear brow set – brushed against the hair to create a textured brow.

Face: Face and Body foundation – a minimal amount of foundation was brushed onto skin for a sheer application. Rich Coral or Virgin Isle cream colour base – stippled onto cheek bone and slightly toward the temple. Mineralize Skinfinish – applied to t-zone in appropriate shades to minimize shine.

Lips: Gentle Coral tinted lip conditioner spf 15 – pressed onto the center of the lips and blended.

Face: Redhead mineralize skinfinish – blended onto cheek bones. Sculpt sculpting powder – applied under cheek bones for a contour. Pearl cream colour base – patted on to the tops of the cheek bones for a highlight.

Lips: Not So Shy lipstain – delicately pressed onto lips.

“She is the dolly from the attic. She’s Gretel from Hansel & Gretel who knows a little more than she did before she went into the woods.” – Gregory Arlt

Eyes: Seedy Pearl eye shadow – brushed across the lid. Phloof! eye shadow – as a highlighter brushed under the eyebrow, along the side of the eye and down the bridge. Reflects Transparent Teal – a dot on the finger pressed onto lid. Quarry eye shadow – lightly applied to the crease of the lid. Plushblack plush lash mascara – applied to the tips of curled lashes.

Face: Strobe Cream – massaged into the face. Face and Body foundation – a sheer application to even out skin tone. Dame & Well Dressed powder blush & Seedy Pearl eye shadow – blended to create a healthy glow on the apples of cheeks.

        That product (the Girl Boy Brow Set) is currently available. It seems like it’s just a light brown color. Nothing special. I am curious about the haircolor MSFs though. Interesting to put something related to hair color on your face. I wonder if it helps your facial tone compliment your hair color.

          Brow Set can be really useful if you have brows that don’t stay in place – I love Clear Brow Set, personally.

          I heard something through the grapevine that there might be a winter launch where these would fit, otherwise you’ll probably see ‘em in the spring.

      I imagine it’s something we’ll see in Spring 2009. I saw Dazzlelash back in February, and I believe that is coming out pretty soon. Sounds like a blonde/redhead/brunette theme, though!
