Should women over 35 continue to wear MAC Cosmetic makeup? (part 2)
Spending time with Senior Artist Jane McKay from MAC cosmetics is like sitting down with an encyclopedia of makeup.
Her knowledge is so vast that I could barely keep up writing all tips she was sharing with me.
I hope you read part one of this incredible feature and here’s part two!
5) What about ethnic beauties? How can Asian women, Latinas and darker skin beauties work with makeup trends as they age?
* It’s very important that you choose a concealer and a foundation that will help achieve an even look. Ethnic beauties usually have a hard time at it with dark spots on their face and it makes such a huge difference when you even out the skin.
* Ethnic beauties MUST invest in the right foundation and the right texture for their skin.
* Ethnic beauties usually have a yellow undertone and using pink will seriously brighten and open the face.

Should women over 35 continue to wear MAC Cosmetics makeup? (part 1)
I’ve been wearing MAC Cosmetics for a long time now. I mix some MAC colours with my other makeup items and I cannot remember when was the last time my makeup bag didn’t include at least three to four MAC products.
Lately, I’ve been wondering if MAC Cosmetics was a line that was still appropriate for women over 35. When you look at a cosmetic line like Bobbi Brown where all the colours are greyed down it’s easier to see how women of a certain age would gravitate towards that line.
MAC Cosmetics has much brighter and bolder colours and I wanted to understand how women needed to approach the line as they age.
I met with Senior Artist Jane McKay for a little MAC education.
During my meeting with her, I had some precise questions and she in return had very precise answers. She also managed to give me a 15-minute face that completely hid all of my hyperpigmentation spots (you’ll see the photo at the end of part 2).

Who else wants to know about fall 2008 Nail Polish Trends?
For fall 2008, we’re seeing the same tendency we’ve been seeing in the summer - bright red nails and some darker shades.
The new season will bring a number of different and sometimes opposite trends (think the dark black with whiter ruffle shirt versus the colourful country look).
For this new season, I don’t think you’ll be able to find one shade to compliment all of your different looks … you might want to have a few options handy (no pun intended).
Blue nail polish was a very strong trend for summer 2008, but the shade has been replaced with a deep purple shade.
The usual suspects (aka major nail polish brands) have put out their fall collections and you’ll notice that just like the opulence of big chunky jewelry, jumbo handbags and oversize cocktail ring, the nail polish colours for fall 2008 are very rich and decadent.

CoverGirl TRUblend minerals Mineral Blush is a winner with women over 35!
Review submitted by our product reviewer Eleni
I checked out this product recently and immediately noticed that it felt light and the colour was a natural, believable shade of sunny sand (I tried #430 in Shimmering Sand).
This loose mineral powder can be used all over or just as a natural-looking blush on the apples of the cheeks.
You’ll never get great results by using the puff/applicator that comes with any product, so please forego that and always use a good brush - it does make a difference.
