Gressa Eye Tints

Leave it to Svetlana Sanchez, the gifted chemist behind Gressa's bestselling foundation serums, to create a clean cream eye shadow that doesn't collect in the crease. It's not a cream in the traditional sense, the product itself is much more firm and dry, plus it doesn't reflect light aside from the shimmer content. But it blends like a dream, devoid of pesky fall out, and has a more modern, and 3 dimensional effect when compared to a powdered shadow. Available in three shades, (including Aureo, a lemony iced white gold that anyone can wear, as a base or inner eye accent), and the more intriguing Bronce and Obscur, a shimmering mid-tone brick that has enough of a cool undertone to remain neutral, and a matte, cool espresso for either a soft eye liner or crease depth, respectively.

The latter two are pictured below, with Bronce being my hands down favorite of the three. I use it daily as an eyeliner along the lower lash line and in the center of my lid to keep things interesting. Chanel Beauty's fall release, Le Rouge, was an exotic, artsy homage to a bold red eyeshadow. Less vampy, Bronce is on the same wavelength, but way more wearable, and versatile, given it plays nice with a spectrum of other shades. My latest favorite, being a cool teal.

RMS Beauty's Eue polish in Lucky

Rose-Marie Swift, goto makeup artist for Giselle and Miranda Kerr, has nailed the un-makeup look, the glow, the almost supernatural ethereal light reflecting cheekbones and juice cleansing beach bum bronze complexions that you see in some many advertisements and editorials. Her Living Luminizer accomplished the pearly angelic cheekbones, and then she threw out this gem out. A peachy, golden cream that's far less balm-y than the Luminizer, her eye polishes are drier in terms of texture, readily warming up when applied with fingertips. And that's the key with this, it's a product for finger-painting Picassos to freshen your existing makeup.

It softens and tones down my powder or cream blushes when they veer to blue-pink, (think Nars' Orgasm once this is applied over it), plus it makes my bronzer more believable. It makes cheek bones pop, gives a sun-kissed bloom and looks incredibly modern on top of eyelids with just mascara. Coco Chanel said something about  taking one accessory off before leaving the house,;this little pot is the beauty equivalent. It takes your make up down a notch, but ups the believability. A universally flattering shade, this will definitely earn a place in the canon of iconic clean beauty staples.
