Sheer Glow Foundation"Foundation is key in a woman’s makeup routine. It is a MUST for achieving a flawless complexion. The biggest mistake women make when wearing foundation is wearing too much or the wrong shade – either too dark or too light. Finding the right shade and right foundation texture is crucial. The skin's natural highlights should be shining through. This foundation is infused with a Complexion Brightening Formula that makes skin look immaculate."

Brush Botan Kabuki # 20"I love the NARS Kabuki brushes. You cannot achieve good makeup without good tools. They originated in Japan with the beauty rituals of early Kabuki and Geisha theaters. When using them, you get superior coverage and control. It inspired me to create a collection of Kabuki Artisan brushes for NARS."
