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).

My favourite Cover Girl runway looks for fall 2008 (get the Cover Girl Look Book)
***Procter Gamble Beauty is offering their Fall 2008 Look Book … you can download it at the end of this post!***
I still remember my reaction at a summer P & G Beauty function when I found out that famed makeup artist Pat McGrath (and P & G Global Creative Design Director) had created the fall 2008 runway looks for a number of big designers and that we’d be able to get a sneak peak.
When I heard that, I gasped and for about a few seconds I stopped breathing because U.K. base Pat McGrath is one of the biggest international makeup artists and she’s worked on pretty much every single big fashion show you can think of and she’s been responsible for creating memorable faces for designers such as Prada, Miu Miu and Dolce and Gabbana.
Six Fall 2008 Makeup Trends
Unlike other seasons that have been marked by two or three distinctive looks, fall 2008 brings a few different strong trends. The great thing about this is the fact that with options come choices.
This means that if a look doesn’t suit you or if you simply don’t feel comfortable sporting a certain look, you can choose a look that you feel comfortable wearing.

Cover Girl Lash Blast Mascara = maximum volume without clumping
“Big, bold, look-at-me lashes”
It’s so easy for companies to make these types of claims. If you’ve seen the TV advertisement with Drew Barrymore for Cover Girl’s new LashBlast mascara, then you’ll remember the catchy line.
Here’s the deal, the catchy line is far more than just a cute giggle created by a clever advertising company. Cover Girl’s LashBlast is FANTASTIC!

Pink Beauty has created a blush for women who have a naturally reddish complexion
I was invited not long ago to a makeup session with Pink Beauty for their summer collection Pink in the Nude. The event was appropriately held at a local restaurant also called Nyood (pronounced nude).
You don’t have to twist my arm to spend an afternoon eating delicious appetizers, sipping on a delicious cocktail (appropriately called Pink Beauty) and talking about makeup.
April Jacob, founder and creator of Pink Beauty, presented two distinct looks that were both very soft and very flattering.
Guerlain two-brush mascara is now sold in North America
It’s here! It’s here! It’s finally here!
Guerlain’s new two-brush mascara (Le 2 de Guerlain Mascara) has been quite popular in Europe and it’s finally here!
Mascara can be such a frustrating thing to apply. I’ve always said that it’s all in the brush when it comes to the perfect mascara application and Guerlain seems to obviously agree with my findings (I wish) and that’s why they’ve created this duo-brush mascara!
Have you ever watched a professional makeup artist apply mascara on one of their celebrity clients? It almost seems like they are coating each lash individually and it can take several minutes to get that perfect frame for your eyes.
