But there’s more, because the counters are offering additional gifts with purchase.

Following are the additional offers at the counters.

Bobbi Brown recently reformulated and relaunched her corrector and concealer. This is a huge development, because corrector and concealer are the cornerstone of a Bobbi Brown makeover; she calls them her “Secret of the Universe.” They are the first and most important step in her 10 Step Beauty makeup application process (designed so that you could run out the door after any step and still feel good about yourself).

For a company with such a French name, Le Métier de Beauté has a surprisingly straightforward approach to makeup application. You really don’t have to be a makeup artist to apply their products like a pro. One of Le Metier’s specialties is making that “red-carpet smoky eye” accessible to every woman, of any age. National artist Ivan Castro explained the process, step-by-step.

Ivan starts with Le Metier’s Dualistic Eye Pencil ($36). This eyeliner pencil contains an ingredient called Nylon 12, which enables the formula to stretch and move with the skin, for all-day wear that doesn’t fade or crease.

Makeup connoisseurs know: Summer means Estée Lauder’s Bronze Goddess collection. Every year, Estée Lauder creates a new take on that “Girl from Ipanema” summer ideal — pitch perfect for that year’s trends. Certain types of products are always included: new summer fragrances, for instance, and a limited edition blush that’s usually the flagship piece of the collection.

This year’s offering is the exceptional Sea Star Bronzing Blush ($34), a two-tone powder featuring peachy sand and a pink starfish (the design goes all the way through to the pan). You can swirl them together for a universally flattering peach-pink. Or, if you prefer a pop of pink on your cheeks, focus your brush on the starfish.

Estée Lauder’s powders are finely milled and never powdery or cakey on the skin. Just don’t wait too long to visit your counter. The Sea Star may not be around all summer.

Armani Beauty national artist Rhona Samuels recently visited Dallas NorthPark by way of Phoenix, en route to Miami. So naturally, summer-proof (heat-proof, sweat-proof) makeup was on her mind. One of the most exciting new products Rhona talked about was Armani’s Eyes To Kill Intense eyeshadow. She informally explained them as “powder-to-cream” eyeshadows. You’ve probably heard of cream-to-powder, but powder-to-cream?
