Lauder Lands Smashbox

18 May 2010

The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. has today announced that it will acquire cosmetics company Smashbox to sit alongside its other premium brands, which include Tom Ford, MAC and Bobbi Brown. Smashbox was founded in 1996 by Brothers Dean and David Factor, great-grandsons of the make-up legend Max Factor, who were inspired by photo studio celebrities to create a unique makeup brand that met the highly demanding needs of a professional photo shoot.


"We expect to benefit greatly from The Estée Lauder Companies' extensive knowledge in product development, operational execution, and international marketing and distribution, and we look forward to the next great period of growth for the brand," said Dean Factor, co-founder and chief executive officer of Smashbox.

REVIEW - Estee Lauder NEW Vita-Mineral Make-Up

HI everyone ...
My first post will be on Estee Lauder's NEW Mineral Make Up in both powder and liquid.

Pros :
Comes with SPF
Skin loving mineral make-up powered with Pomegranate (anti-oxidant)
Dermatologist & Opthalmologist Tested
Fragrance free
Photo Friendly

If you've been a fan of ESTEE LAUDER NUTRITIOUS range, you will love these 2 NEW makeup products.

First off I'm going to share with you the VITA-MINERAL LOOSE POWDER MAKEUP SPF 15.
It is a very lightweight powder that matches your skintone and you can barely feel anything on your skin at all but it does magically cover minor imperfections and even out your skin tone without feeling cakey.
The product comes in 4 tones and equipped with a soft powder brush and pad.
Personally, I would think that the product works better with a KABUKI brush (or you might call it a BUFFING brush) but the brush that comes with it will be handy for touch-up throughout the day though.
A little of this powder goes a long way and you can always add more if you want a better coverage and YES you will still look natural even with a few layers of the powder.

Cons : works better on oily/combination skin. tends to look too powdery on dry skin.
TIPS : SPRAY on your face with a bit of SPRING WATER/ MAC STUDIO FIX/ MAC Charged Water for a more natural radiant look.

Well, next I am going to talk about the VITA-MINERAL MAKEUP SPF 10 (which is in LIQUID form)
Again, the product is very lightweight and have a quite similar texture of ESTEE LAUDER DOUBLE WEAR LIGHT, only smoother, which is a plus point.
Works better for ALL skin type and have a better coverage compared to the POWDER form.
Get the perfect match to your skintone and you will have a fabulous skin by just applying to the needed area (forehead, nose and chin) and blend out to the rest of the face.
It comes with 4 tones as well and a little goes a long way (buildable for better coverage).
You can set the foundation with your usual loose powder/setting powder.

RULE OF THUMB, remember to prep your skin well enough before applying any foundation to have a perfect canvas for the rest of your other makeup like blush, eyeshadow etc.

TIPS :
Apply VITA-MINERAL FOUNDATION on T-Zone and Eye, blend well and buff in a light layer of VITA-MINERAL LOOSE POWDER. Finish off your make up with a sprinkle of SPRING WATER/ MAC STUDIO FIX for a perfect finish. TRUST me, you don't even need concealer for your day look with this technique. (but of course, if you need any additional coverage, you can always go for a little bit of concealer here and there.)

note : Will try to upload a pic of myself with the above technique to show you the effect. I had it on myself during my friend's wedding last weekend and it looks perfectly fine on photo. I'm not a fan of powder but I've to say that Mineral Powder does make me love it now. The only downside of the powder is that it will look horrible on dry skin or on those days where your skin is a bit flaky due to dehydration. *remedy - stick to only LIQUID foundation :)

FOR more info : Kindly proceed to ESTEE LAUDER COUNTER @ PARKSON PAVILION and look for JOYCE, she is the SENIOR makeup artist there. She will be able to try the product on you and give you very good makeup tips.
