On the stands: June 2008 Allure (not a typo)



I don't like Allure a whole ton magazine wise so I didn't subscribe but here is a look at what was in this time last year.

Jessica Alba was the cover model showing off a sultry purple eye with sheer cheek & lip colors.

According to Make up artist Mark Carrasquillo this is how you get the cover look.

Use a purple creme shadow (Revlon Illuminance Creme Shadow in Wild Orchids) and blend over your lid and lower lashline.
Next, use a glowy natural cheek color (Revlon ColorStay Mineral Blush in Golden Rose) and apply to cheek bone.
Swipe a clear balm (Revlon Moon Drops Moisturizing Lip Conditioner) across your lips.

The 'Look Now' portion showed how to get a perfect stained lip.

Take your desired color and apply to your lips. Do not let set, simply take a cloth and dab against mouth until you receive desired effect.

The 'Color of The Moment' is a Sheer Bronze like in Benefit Talk to the Tan & Georgio Armani Bronze Mania Skin Tint.

Summer clothes that were considered necessary (A want/need using price as the major factor)

Floral Dresses
Straw Bags
Brown Tinted Sunglasses
Brown Strappy Wedges
Khaki Short shorts

Tear drop earrings were also featured.

This issue mainly contained beauty awards. But I'm not going to list all of them. Sorry.

Shimmery Bronzer & Cream Blush

Hope you like it. =)
