Halloween Haute: Your Faves Best Makeup Looks

Pharrell Glytone Skincare Regimen: Get Lucky!
Let’s get lucky with Pharrell Glytone skincare regimen! Pharrell Williams, once a devout Cetaphil user, has switched up his skincare regimen.

This dimension, as celebrity makeup artist Sam Fine prefers, is what makes a nude lipstick truly ready-to-wear for brown skin. Nude shades and pink (tones) can get lost against rich skin tones, so I use brown lip liner for definition. For example, for someone with Kerry’s complexion, she could use the same options the Scandal makeup department uses on the actress: Laura Mercier Lip Liner in Hazelnut…
