Benefit

A good primer is always a must have–especially in hot, humid weather! Benefit’s new That Gal is a smooth, silky, pink primer that will instantly make your skin appear flawless and bright! You can wear it alone for a soft radiance, or apply before makeup for a smooth, gorgeous application. This will help your makeup last longer and look amazing!

That Gal contains soothing raspberry and chamomile, combined with sweet almond and algae extracts in order to help skin retain its moisture, resulting in a soft, silky finish. It has light reflecting pigments that will brighten complexions. Simply twist the base until the primer is distributed on the top, apply with fingertips onto face, and blend in an even, upward motion. You can also gently pat it on during the day to re-brighten your complexion! You’ll wonder how you lived without this amazing beauty booster. You can get it for $27 here!

Want to give your lips an extra shimmer for a glam look? Benefit’s gorgeous 24k Sexy Gold Lipstick is perfect! It will give you a subtle glow that will give your makeup stand out!

This lipstick is sheer with a golden sheen that will make any dull look fabulous. You can wear it alone for a hint of shimmer, or wear it over another lipstick for a sexy glimmer! This is definitely a must in your purse on a night out. It’s great to accent a cute pair of gold heels or a gold purse! You can get it for $20 here.

Benefit is great at solving everyday cosmetic problems and turning them into miracles! Their new D’finer D’liner will work magic on your lips, and make sure your lipstick will never bleed again!

This pencil is invisible and will stop your lipstick from feathering. How is this possible? The pencil melts into fine lines, redefining your lip line. All you have to do is line along the outside edge of your lips, then apply lipstick or lip gloss, and ta-da! Your lipcolor will stay put all day, and won’t wander away! This is definitely a must-have for summer–with this pencil, not even the heat will keep your lipstick from staying on your lips! You can get the D’finer D’liner for $18 here.

We’ve seen the pinks, the reds, the corals, the mauves…but the blues? I’d have to say that I do not own any blue lip gloss in my makeup box, but Benefit’s new California Kissin’ has convinced me to make an addition! But why blue?

The subtle, blue sheen of this gloss actually helps teeth appear whiter! Who doesn’t want a dazzling smile to go with their sexy, shiny lips? The gloss also a cool, minty taste that freshens breath! You wear it over or under any lipstick. Get this gloss for $16 here!

The hottest eye shadow shades for this summer are icy, pastel colors that will compliment your perfect tan! These shades are light enough to work on anybody! Let’s take a look at some of them:

Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow/Liner in My Date’s My Brother

This beautiful, soft petal pink will look fabulous against that summer tan! Pink is always suitable for any occasion–it’s your chance to show off your fun, girly side! This cream doubles as a shadow and a liner, and it won’t crease at all! You can get it for $18 here.

This light, pale green is totally flattering, and will make your eyes pop! Green is always a great shade to enhance any eye color, and will give you a nice, fresh look! This matte shadow is ultra silky, and will go on smoothly! You can get it for $19 here.

Ashley Tisdale looked so glam at the High School Musical Tour in New York City and Los Angeles. What?! Ashley gets to sing “We’re All In This Together” on stage and wear fabulous makeup? Lucky! So you don’t feel left out, here’s how you can get sexy smokey eyes like Ashley:

1. Sweep Urban Decay Eye Shadow in Maui Wowie [$16] all over eye, from the lid to just under the brow bone.

2. Highlight brow bone with Benefit High Beam [$22] by dabbing on one dot and blending with fingertips.

3. Line top lid with NARS Eyeliner Pencil in Black Moon [$19] along upper lash line. Draw a thin line along the lower lash line as well, and then fill in the lower inner rim. This will give you super smokey eyes!

4. For ultra long and thick lashes, sweep 2 coats of Bourjois Coup de Theatre False Lash Illusion - Duo Mascara in Noir Diva on upper lashes, followed by 2 coats on lower lashes. Use the white brush on lashes first to thicken and lengthen lashes, and then use the black brush for highly pigmented color and shine!

5. With LORAC Cheek Duo in Hot Flash [$28.50] sweep the pink shimmery blush on apples of cheeks, and then sweep the bronze shimmer all over cheeks, forehead, nose, and chin. This will give you a gorgeous glow! Tip: Use a big brush (Powder Brush - Jumbo, $5.99) instead of the small square brush that comes with the product. The big brush will give you full and natural coverage!

6. Finish the look by applying Bobbi Brown Lip Gloss in Sandwash Apricot [$19] on lips for super color and shine!

Kyndra Mayo, the glam queen of Laguna Beach Season 3, wears her make-up with more luster–black liner with shimmery gloss. This look is perfect for a night out! Here’s how to get her head-turning style:

Apply to the lower inner rim as well. This eye liner glides on so easily, and it won’t smudge!

4. Apply two coats of Too Faced Lash Injection in Pitch Black [$19.50] to upper lashes, and one coat to lower lashes. This mascara will give your lashes maximum volume and extra length, making them look full and beautiful.
