THE HOT SPOT Flawless skin, rosy cheeks, and lush, flirty lashes should all be included in your daily beauty arsenal. If you’re looking to even out your skin tone, add a touch of bronze to your cheeks or get that just bitten, red lip, try Benefit Cosmetics, which is where celebrities and their make-up artists turn to to achieve these looks.
THE EXPERIENCE Benefit’s blushes, foundations, lipsticks and mascaras have made “Best of Beauty” lists and have been applied on practically every celebrity in Hollywood. If you want that Los Angeles glow, start with Benefit’s new Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow! ($34) foundation and a touch of Benetint cheek stain ($20) on the apples of cheeks. Want a neutral smokey eye? Emily Blunt layers her lids in Benefit’s Velvet Eyeshadow in Where There’s Smoke ($18), a gorgeous pewter shade. Finish off any eye look with Benefit’s beloved BADgal lash mascara ($19), worn on celebrities such as Kate Mara. The super black formula gives lashes a full, voluminous look with its creamy formula and large brush. Want to give cheeks the perfect touch of coral? Kourtney Kardashian, Christina Aguilera and Katy Perry are all fans of the coral pink CORALista ($28). This blush gives a “tropical flush” that looks amazing on all skin tones, and the blush comes with a natural bristle blush for easy application. Need to perk up pale skin? Sweep celeb favorite Hoola bronzer ($28) onto areas the sun would naturally hit: forehead, nose and chin.
GETTING YOUR BEAUTY FIX The make-up artists at Benefit will help you perfect your day or night look. Make an appointment for a makeover and lesson, and while you’re there, trust your eyebrows to one of their famous eyebrow waxes at the Brow Bar.
