As well, patent is no longer reserved for dressing up or accessories only; the new versions of it can be worn day or night, work or play, yay!

It's every woman's dream to have perfectly flawless skin that looks like she's just walked off of a magazine cover. Thanks to Kevyn Aucoin now we all can! He has just released his newest product called Liquid Airbrush, a soy infused lightweight liquid foundation that provides medium coverage to give you that gorgeous airbrushed photo finish.

The formula was created to even out and buff your skin tone. Rather than having a mattifying and drying effect that can cake and stick to your pores, Liquid Airbrush has more of a semi-satin quality and is ideal for medium to oily skin. Buy it here for $45. Available in five colors: Light Ivory, Rosy Beige, Beige With Yellow undertones, Neutral Beige and Dark/Deep.

Superior Slanted Tweezers

Tweezers are hands-down the most addictive tool I've got in my beauty bag. But tweezing is a laborious process if you aren't using good tweezers. To really groom your eyebrows properly, you need a great pair of slanted tweezers.

To avoid infection and ingrown hairs, it's important to use your tweezers properly. Always tweeze when your pores are open-for instance, after a hot shower-and pull the hairs one-by-one in the direction of your hair growth. Wash your face with cool water when you are done, so as to successfully close your pores. When you're finished, be sure to clean the tweezers with astringent or rubbing alcohol. Here are the slanted tweezers likely to give you the best results.

The favorite tool of both Oprah and Kevyn Aucoin, the Tweezerman Slanted Tweezer rules! This stainless-steel tool has a hand-polished tip that works with high-precision. You can buy these cute pink, lavender, or plain tweezers here for $20 and help support the Breast Cancer Awareness Program.

The budget-friendly e.l.f. Professional Slant Tweezer is constructed from stainless steel and has a great grip, so you can really latch on and remove those unwanted hairs. Buy it here for $1.
