Let's face it, makeup and skin care products are the most wonderful and least painful ways to take off the years. But with so many products, it's tough to know which ones work. The good news, there is help from experts who deal with cosmetics every day.
Cosmetics buyers have to be expert in what they buy for their stores, to make sure they meet the needs of people looking for the best solutions. Cosmetics buyers for the Nieman Marcus group of stores are holding a beauty event where makeup buyers are showing off what they have found to be the best products for women in their 20's, 30's, 40's, and 50 plus.
"Our...buyers have really analyzed what works for women at diff age groups," said Katharine Rubino from the store at Merrick Park. "So what works for women in 20's, 30's, and so forth." For the 20-somethings, try a product for pimples called Eradicate by Katy Somerville.
"This is great for blemishes, covering them and hiding them" said Rubino. For sassy scents, the 20-somethings love "Rocket Dreams" by Valentino.
For 30-somethings, when you want to maintain your beauty it's Laura Mercier's tinted moisturizer. It hydrates your skin and it has SPF 20.
Feel like a splurge? Stars such as Marcia Cross and Giselle Bundchen swear by La Mer's Moisturizing Gel Cream priced at $230.00. For 40-somethings, try Chanel's newest lip color line Rouge Coco's completely reformulated lipsticks in all new colors.
What's fun is that each of the names of the lipsticks have something to do with Coco Chanel's life-one of the reds is Paris Red," said Rubino. For nails, the biggest look is neutral and inspired by a "Sex and the City" star. "This is actually inspired by Sara Jessica Parker; Deborah Lippman Nail Polish called "Sara "Smiles-" said Rubino.
And for 50-plus, it's all about defying the aging process with a wonderful makeup base by Sisely. It's all natural and transparent with a matte finish. The beauty event also features the "Things you can't live without" checklist that includes a eye lash growing cream called Neulash and a parts table featuring the best tweezers, a skim slimming cream called FAT GIRL SLIM and a professional teeth whitening system.
