Well, men’s fashion week is officially kicking off in Milan.
Here’s the lesson from the night-before: 30 makeup artists alone are endeavoring, as we write this, to make 60 male models at Dolce & Gabbana and Versace look tan and more buff than biology has allowed.
The recipe for natural looking perfection?
Estee Lauder tanning lotion with an instant tint.
Laura Mercier concealer for the face.
MAC body foundation for a smooth finish, and an illuminating gel to define or create the illusion of muscle tone.

can I just say that laura mercier Camouflage is the best concealer I’ve ever used? it is. it makes me so happy and matches my skin tone perfectly and stays put and covers my huge pores.
however, body foundation is kind of creepy.

if you’re near bergdorf, check it out there. the mercier women are excellent…they matched me and then told me not to buy until I’d worn it around for a day. amazing.

which Prescriptives concealer? I’ve used the Camouflage Kit but I just found out it’s been phased out. I’m pissed.

I’d say everybody could use some body foundation…looking at somebody with pale skin and blue veins showing is not a look to aspire too.
But Laura Mercier makes a great camo!!!
