Get a Healthy Glow: Highlighters

FabSugar — Thu, 24 Aug 2006 11:32:27 -0700

Ever wonder how celebrities all get that healthy, radiant glow? Most likely, it's because their makeup artist is using a face illuminator, like Benefit's High Beam and Moon Beam complexion highlighters. These products can be used as spot enhancers or blended all over your face for a glowing, sexy look. High Beam is a satiny pink shine, while women with olive or tan skin tones should opt for Moon Beam, which gives skin a more natural, golden-pink glow. Both cost $22 and are available here and here.

To apply highlighters such as Benefit's High Beam, use these simple tips:

First, be sure to pick the right color for your skin tone. Women with blue undertones should use a pinkish color like High Beam, and if your skin is more yellow, use a golden color.
With the nail polish-like brush, draw an X on the apple of each of cheek and beneath each brow.
Using your fingertips, blend the Xs in an upward and outward circular motion.
For an all-over dewy effect, try mixing just a dab of highlighter into your foundation or moisturizer.

Fab Ad: Derek Lam, Spring '10

FabSugar — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 16:00:08 -0800

Derek Lam likes to keep his friends close and his models closer. After seeing Ginta Lapina on his arm at the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Awards last week, we found the model posing in Lam's new Spring campaign. "We went back to the beach, but it’s a dreamy world of cream-colored sand, highlighted by pops of color from vibrant clothing and accessories," said Creative Director Doug Lloyd.

The ad, shot by Solve Sundsbo at Pier 59 Studio in New York, showcases Ginta looking quirky cute in Lam's polka-dot confections. I love the punchy accessories, and Ginta's updo and red lips are a fun contrast to the beachy backdrop. Side note, what's up with the luring ominous shadow?
