Eyecolor: Hazel

Skin Tone: Medium fair with yellow undertones

Skin Type: Combination with somewhat oily t-zone and dry areas around the nose and chin which I need to be ever-vigilant about exfoliating (or the blackheads appear). I also have stubborn undereye darkness that definitely requires concealer.

Review: Sublime Glow Daily Moisturizer and Natural Skin Tone Enhancer

What They Say: "Experience a healthy summer glow all year long with Sublime Glow. Enriched with Vitamin E, skin-smoothing Mango Butter and Sweet Almond Oil, Sublime Glow hydrates skin with vital, nourishing ingredients. Natural Skin Tone Enhancers specifically designed for Fair skin tones gradually add a hint of color to even out and enhance your skin's natural complexion. Light capturing micro-pearls accentuate your body's natural contours and give skin a soft, subtle radiance."

Jen's Experience: There's a reason that they call this a natural skin tone enhancer and not a self-tanning product. It takes many, many layers of this, morning and night, to really get a full-on tanning effect. Once you've got it, it's easy to maintain and longer lasting than other products like this that I've tried. And other thing in the positive column: since it doesn't create much of an effect too early, it's really hard to make much of a mistake. Go over your knees or ankles by accident? Don't worry, it won't be noticable tomorrow. On the negative side, it's not a cheap product at $9.99 per tube. It's probably okay if all you need is some color on your legs. But if you're working on a full body tan, you'll need about 2 tubes a month. Overall, I think it's a high quality product that creates a really natural effect, and that's hard to complain about.

Retail Price: $9.99 (drugstores)

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

The 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.
