Shiseido The Makeup - Sheer Gloss Lipstick

What They Say: "It is lustrous, semi-translucent and delicate in color, but this lipstick stays put, and gives even color to the entire lips. Made with skin-caring ingredients to make lips supple."

Melissa's DeLush Downlow: I know, I've said I like being able to wear more matte lipstick when the weather turns cooler, but I fell absolutely in love with this certain color in Sephora (Honey Tea) and couldn't help myself. (Even if I DO have entirely too many lipsticks, lip glosses, and lip balms to be considered decent.) Actually, there were a few colors I was heavily debating between, as Shiseido's gorgeous color range and finish typically tends to be well-worth the somewhat higher price.

The day I bought this, I went to a party and the topic turned to makeup (hey, I can't help it!) and I showed the girls what I'd gotten that day. They all liked this lipstick's texture and amazing color quality. While it is somewhat sheer, it is still substantial as they claim and stays wonderfully. The pigment is concentrated and true, and it isn't too slick or shiny for those that prefer lipstick over gloss.

Retail Price: $20.00 (at select department stores - click here to find out where you can purchase Shiseido near you)

NY Fashion Week: "Fresh Out of the Water" at Herve Leger by Max Azria

The Finished Makeup LookThe inspiration for the look at Herve Leger by Max Azria was the girls from the Bond movies.  The make-up artist wanted to highlight beautiful skin with honed bones.  The focus of the look? A wet eye, which they achieved with MAC gold Pigment.  The eye was outlined with MAC Technakohl Eyeliner in Photogravure to give it an additional punch along with a nice coat of MAC Plushlash.  To give additional focus to the eyes, the artist used a "chalky" lip.  Beyond a simple nude, it was a pale, pale matte pink that had the effect of erasing the lips from the model's face.  

The result was a simple, sophisticated look that is pretty and wearable for those with warmer skin tones.  If you've got blue undertones, you can still achieve the look, but I would recommend a little more color on the lips to avoid looking frostbitten.
