At this year's Fashion Week, all the lights were not only coming from the flashes from photographers and heavy light fixtures, but also from the faces of the models on the runway. It was all about illuminating faces and I was definitely intrigued and wanted a lighteed face of my very own.

After sitting my butt at more than a few make-up counters, I decided that the best line for me and my complexion was Stila Illuminating Liquid Foundation in 60 Watt. What I really love about this foundation is the easy ways it glides on. Normally, if you want most foundations to glide on you have to mix it with a little moistrizer or wet a make-up sponge. Since I like ot apply make-up sans sponges, this right up my make-up alley. The small light reflectors, which is the key ingredient in illuminating make-up, is very subtle and sparkly. Its not about shimmer this season, its all about light reflectors.

Now, Mama loves her some good concealer and especially if its from the same line as the foundation I am using. Since I was so thrilled with the foundation, I put a quick order for the matching concealer in Medium. I was not so thrilled with the concealer. It didn't blend in that well and bleed away quick without covering the little imperfections that I was trying to conceal. The finish was soft, dewey, and natural, but didn't conceal. It was a waste for me, but maybe that's just me. For now I will stick with foundation and put the concealer in the "At-Least-I-Tried-It!" basket and keep it moving.

Stay Stylish!
