I have received hundreds of e-mails recently asking me about the foundation I have been using on "What Not To Wear". Although I have written about this magical stuff in recent newsletters, I'd like to share with you new comers about the best foundation line ever. Era Face Spray-On Foundation by Classified Cosmetics is the answer to alot of women's beauty dilemmas. An oil-free and water resistant foundation, it sprays a fine mist of great coverage that lasts and lasts. I use it a little differently on the face than the company suggests which just shows this is a very versatile foundation. For lighter coverage, I like to dip a non-latex sponge in a little moisturizer, then spray the foundation onto the sponge and apply to the face. You can also spray it directly on the face and buff it in (with the puff included) for more coverage. No need for concealer, just spray a bit into the palm of your hand and use your finger or a concealer brush to spot conceal any areas that need extra coverage. Tattoos, scars, unsightly veins and anything else on the body can be quickly covered with no blending by just spraying Era on in a flash. Classified Cosmetics has also created Era Rayz- an amazing spray-on bronzer and Era Glaze- an awesome shimmer for the body. For those of you that need a little help evening out the skin before applying foundation, Era Primer will smooth out and brighten the face creating a flawless canvas. I am not a spokes person for this line I just swear by the results. As a professional makeup artist I am bombarded with new foundations to try and I seam to always stick with Era. No matter what skin type or skin problems women, celebs, or models I work with might have Era is always the answer.

Every winter my nails get so brittle and my cuticles so dry it makes me crazy! I decided to ask my friend and nail expert Firoze` what I can do to keep them strong and beautiful all year long. To pamper and strengthen your nails and soften cuticles she suggests an easy and inexpensive treatment that can be found in your kitchen. Take a cup of 100% natural olive oil and heat it up ia a bowl until it’s warm. Next, take a fresh lemon and squeeze it into the oil. Plop yourself in front of the t.v. and soak your hands into this mixture for 20 minutes. This will not only soften the cuticles and strengthen the nails but the lemon juice will help fade liver spots and sun damage. Firoze` also suggests trying her natural line of nail polishes and treatments. Most products on the market contain nasty things like formaldehyde and dibutyl phthalate that dehydrate nails. She has developed unique blends of organic cotton and silk, herbs, vitamins and oils that nourish and condition nails so they will be strong healthy no matter what the season. Her products are so popular they have appeared on the pages of Vogue, Bazar, O, Lucky and InStyle. Her nail rejuvenating and cuticle cream works wonders when applied to the hands at night and then wearing cotton gloves to bed. You will have a luxurious spa treatment while you sleep and wake up to younger lovelier hands. Visit www.Firoze.com to see the entire product line.
