Products That Work For Every Woman!

Pick a neutral eye liner in a shade of black or brown.

Brown and black eyeliners work well with all eye colors, enhance the depth of your features and even create the illusion of thicker, fuller lashes. My favorites include Jane’s gel eyeliners .You can find them at your local drugstore or mass-market retailer.

For a higher end option, try Lancome’s Le Crayon Kohl in Black Coffee . This liner is a traditional pencil formula but the pencil is super soft and won’t irritate or pull on sensitive eye skin. $23.

Natural colored eyeshadow doesn’t have to mean boring!

Every girl should have a range of at least three neutral shadows in her makeup stash. For a versatile palette, check out Spell Cosmetic’s Mineral Eyeshadows Kits: the Naked Eyes Trio or the New Day Trio . These mineral shadows are highly pigmented, easy to apply, and are so finely milled they feel like cotton on your lids. Each trio is $17.00 at Spell Cosmetics



Tinted lip gloss for shine and just a hint of color works well on every lady.

Plus with winter on the way, you get the added moisturizing benefits. I use My Lip Stuff’s Tinted Gloss .

It’s delicious, very reasonably priced and is all natural. Or punch up your color a bit with a lip stain. Lip stains are perfect for layering under clear lip balms and glosses. The color is typically long-wearing since it sinks into your lips’ skin.


My suggestions:

Sonia Kashuk lip and cheek stain or the new NP Set by Napoleon Perdis Lip Stain and Plumper Collection for $15.




Groomed brows are the instant facial pick-me-up.

If you have time for nothing else, just clean up any stray hairs that are outside your main brow area. Give them a quick brush with a brow brush, and keep them in check with a dab of clear lip balm or clear mascara/brow gel. Check out the all new line: The Model Brow . It’s just been launched and features some grand products and tools!

  2. Oh goodness, Jami… you keep talking about My Lip Stuff, I just have to get my hands on it now! :)
    And to know that it’ll work for my naturally-tanned skintone, and that it’s a lip tint, and that it’s natural product, and it’s such an awesome price… okay, I’m buying it!
    Thanks for all the recommendations. Finding what’s right for my colouring has always been tough for me, and you make it so much easier. :)
