alison raffaele gets a makeover


I was introduced to the cult makeup artist line, Alison Raffaele, about a year ago and was impressed by its high-performing beauty products that boast skin-nourishing ingredients (particularly the tinted moisturizer). And now, the line has gone through a makeover in more ways than one: the products have been been tricked out with slick new berry-red lacquer packaging as well as reformulated to be talc- and paraben-free. So rest assured you're getting the same great products, but now they're better than ever. One of the products I'm loving is the Transparent Finish Powder, a colorless, cornstarch-based super-milled loose powder that nixes shine and delivers a nice matte finish. I've since heard that pro makeup artist Billy B. is a fan of this stuff, and with good reason: the powder is ultra-lightweight, so it doesn't feel heavy or look at all mask-like. And, ladies, a good powder is a must for the warmer months (and really, all year, especially if you're oily-skinned) to set your makeup and keep you looking fresh all day-long. I also love that in a pinch, you can use it as a dry shampoo to sop up that delighful hair grease.
