Makeup: Beauty Brand Pronunciation Guide

May 20th, 2011

Celebrity Makeup News and Blogs:

Some brands may be downright difficult to pronounce but with one quick read of this handy-dandy guide, you won’t ever have to feel shy at the makeup counter again. When it comes to makeup and beauty brands, there are those good old, simple-to-say American brands like CoverGirl or Revlon. Then there are intimidating foreign names like Shu Uemura that can leave you feeling like Nomi in “Showgirls” when she says her couture gown is “Ver-SAYCE” instead of “Ver-Sa-Chee.” Read: more than a little mortified.

Do you prefer wearing high-end makeup?

May 13th, 2011

Celebrity Makeup News and Blogs:

Do you prefer wearing high-end makeup? Why/why not?

With makeup, it’s an escape – it’s pretty, fun, and drama-free (well, it’s supposed to be!), so I like a product that impresses me on all fronts. With more affordable brands, sometimes packaging or textures are a little less refined. At the end of the day, I reach for the best products I own, whether they were $2 or $40.

Thanks to Gisela for today’s question!
