The products below are a top 10 for me. They suit almost every complexion, and will help any woman look her best and on trend this season. Out of the many products I might use when doing a makeup session, I selected these because they work very well together. Together they give you a natural glow that is dewy, healthy and youthful — very appropriate to Spring and Summer!
Clifford Hashimoto recommends —
Luminous Silk Foundation - Giorgio Armani. Available in 18 shades, this foundation smoothes out skin and fills in fine lines instantly, so that blush and concealer seamlessly blend into skin - resulting in a gorgeous finish! www.giorgioarmanibeauty-usa.com
Undercover Pot Concealer - Laura Mercier. This concealer formulation is the perfect texture and comes in several color combinations. Find the one that best suits your skin tone. To help create a flawless face, apply a small amount with ring finger, patting – then smoothing – under eye and around sides of nose, to brighten and help cover dark spots. www.lauramercier.com
HD Microfinish Powder - Make Up For Ever. A translucent finishing powder. That can be applied over foundation, or simply worn alone. It comes in one universal shade for all skin tones. An Allure ‘Best of Beauty’ award winner! www.sephora.com
The Book of Nudes - Laura Mercier. This sophisticated palette features eight classically neutral eye colors, one universal black/brown cake eyeliner and three sunkissed cream veil shades for face and cheeks. www.sephora.com
Powder Blush - NARS. Nars blushes provide a healthy glow which flatters any skin tone. My two favorite shades are Deep Throat (peach with shimmer) and Orgasm (Peachy/Pink with golden shimmer). www.narscosmetics.com
Eye & Lip Pencils - NARS. My favorite NARS eyeliner pencil is Black Moon. It opens the eye – with a strong solid line, or with a blurred/smokey effect. For lip pencils, check out Fantasia (soft peach) and Roseland (rosy pink). And, for a true red, you must get the Velvet Matte lip pencil in Cruella (scarlet red). www.narscosmetics.com
Lip Lacquer - NARS. NARS has the best glosses. I love the Lip Lacquer that comes in portable pots. They provide a sheer, subtle color for naturally glossy lips. It comes in three shades – all fabulous – Babydoll (cotton candy pink), Chelsea (nude beige) and Eros (raspberry rose with shimmer). www.narscosmetics.com
DiorShow Mascara - Dior. This is the best mascara on the market – a cult-followed mascara that leaves lashes ultra thick, long and curled. Also available in a waterproof formula. www.sephora.com
You can find most of these products on-line or in stores like Sephora, Saks and Bloomingdales.
