Beauty Review: Tom Ford Brow Sculptor

Tom Ford Brow Sculptor

Tom Ford Brow Sculptor

Put those tweezers down. Bold brows are not only on trend this Spring; they naturally define and enhance the structure of the face. The full brow can make even a clean face more polished. The adored designer, Tom Ford, has said that brows are the only part of the face you can dramatically change without surgery. And he has created what I think is the best tool for grooming and filling in the hairs: Tom Ford Brow Sculptor.

First, use the spooly (grooming brush) on one end to direct and straighten the hairs. On the other end, the flat “calligraphy” tip of the crayon allows for precise but thick strokes. It is like nothing I have ever seen before. Fill in with your matching color, applying the color on top of your brow hairs. Brush through the hairs again to blend. To keep the chiseled shape sharp, you just twist the cap counterclockwise to reveal the sharpener.

Pop Goes The Nail Polish

nail polish

Summer is just around the corner and it is time to update those digits. Bold colors are the trend and there are loads of options to suit everyone’s fancy. These fresh and vibrant nails will look fun on the beach and show off everyone’s summer glow.

Dior Nail Vernis Pink Kimono really shocks with its vibrancy. Pearly particles enhance light reflection. This shade is even more enjoyable with Dior’s new chip-resistant formula.

Le Metier de Beaute launched their candy-colored shades earlier this spring with the resort collection. Three saturated nail lacquer shades make you want to get to a beach, stat! The limited-edition colors are ShocKEN Pink, Yield to Yellow and Not So Safe Orange.

For a softer version of these vibrant shades, turn to Chanel’s Spring Collection. “June” is a striking tangerine peach. (See a sales associate.)

Keep your eyes peeled for the new NARS Thakoon collaboration in May. These vibrant polish shades were inspired by the colors found in Indian spice markets.

  • Anardana – Azalea pink
  • Ratin Jot – Orchid purple
  • Amchoor – Bright yellow
  • Kutki – Powder blue
  • Koliary – Cyan blue

 

Laura Mercier Nail Lacquer in Sizzle is the perfect interpretation of a classic red, reinvented for a bold summer look. (Coming soon.)

First Deborah Lippmann made glitter sophisticated. Now she is taking neon to a grown-up level. Her Run The World Nail Lacquer Set features fun yet wearable neon shades that feel fresh with a understated matte finish.

Bright colors aren’t your thing? Try Tom Ford Beauty Nail Lacquer in Gold Haze for an opaque, metallic finish. Your fingers have never felt so glam.

Shop cosmetics and fragrance during the Scent Event at NeimanMarcus.com and NM stores to receive gifts and samples, through Sunday, May 6.

New at NM: Guerlain Terra Azzurra by Emilio Pucci

Guerlain Terra Azzurra by Emilio Pucci

Good things happen when the beauty and fashion worlds collide. And now we can look forward to “Guerlain by Emilio Pucci”, arriving in stores in May. The collaboration draws its inspiration from summertime on the Italian Riviera. The collection utilizes a signature print, revived from the archives: “Winter Capri,” a blue flower interlaced with swirls and flames.

The lead character in the collection is the hybrid Terra Azzurra Bronzing Powder & Blush. The compact is made of ebony-colored wood and comes in an accessory pouch printed with the Pucci motif. The powder itself is also embossed with the Pucci logo and contains four colors that combine to universally flattering shade. You can look sun-kissed by using the bronzing shade all over the face or blend the three blush shades for contouring on the cheekbones. This is bronzer and blush, together in one beautiful package.

Commanding a classroom of students is nothing new to Trish McEvoy. The beautician behind a self-titled makeup line, NYC Skin Care Center and best-selling book, is dedicated to teaching her philosophy of the “Power of Makeup.” Last Thursday McEvoy and her team of national makeup artists flew to Dallas to teach a makeup master class to three eager-to-learn groups of 40 women at NM Dallas-NorthPark.

McEvoy kicked-off her curriculum with an open ended question. “How many of you look at others and say, how does she do it?” Her method of addressing everyday beauty insecurities leads to empowering women with the tools, tips and tricks to master makeup.
