Summer Inspiration The Prettiest Makeup Ever

Have any of you seen “Public Enemies” yet? It’s a terrific movie and Marion Cotillard’s lush, ’30s look will blow you away. (See below.) This is the kind of makeup you’ll want to wear all summer – or anytime, really: Natural-looking, fresh and perfectly pulled-together. Which is the whole idea of makeup, no? Anyway, I’m planning to duplicate the effect immediately with some favorite items from my line:

Here is what you will need to get started (all of which can be purchased at www.Motivescosmetics.com/urbeautifulj/urbeautifulj).

* Motives Liquid Powder Mineral Makeup with SPF 15, $24.95 (patted on where needed)

* Motives Lip Crayon in Tender, $14 (traced all over the lips and topped with clear balm)

* Loren’s Get In Line Gel Eyeliner in Little Black Dress, collection of 6 colors, $84.95 (applied with a flat brush, and along your upper lash line for definition)

* Motives Pressed Blush in Porcelain Doll, $13.50

Motives Beauty - Tips to make your lipstick last

Catherine-zeta-jones [Image via InStyle]

Make your lipstick last longer!We all know it’s just not realistic to think you’re going to leave the house in the morning and never have to reapply your lips. But, it is completely possible to make it all the way to lunch—morning Starbucks and all!—without having to fuss with your makeup bag. Here, five steps to the perfect application for longer lasting lip color:
Start with moisturized lips. But don’t pile on a lot of product.
A liner is essential. If you don’t want a bold effect, use a nude shade. The line will keep lipstick from running.
Apply a layer of lipstick.
Blot on a tissue. This will help set the lipstick, and sort of acts as a stain. Resist the urge to press lips together here.
Apply a second coat. Again, do not press lips together. This is the fastest way to remove the color you’re trying to make stay put.Give these steps a try and report back!Lots of love,Loren

It's Official: Beauty Editors and Bloggers Loved The Motives Muse Event!

As promised, here are some photos from the smash-hit, Motives Muse event, which I held at my penthouse in New York City a few weeks ago.

Me and the lovely Shyema Azam (Marie Claire editor / beauty blogger extraordinaire)

My Three Muses - Ava, Marilyn, and Audrey ;)

Claudia works her magic as J.R. looks on

The reviews have been pouring in since the event, and it's official -- beauty editors, beauty bloggers, and industry experts absolutely love the line! The latest and greatest review comes via Beauty and the Feast, a popular beauty and lifestyle blog by Marie Claire editor, Shyema Azam.Here's an excerpt from Shyema's blog rave:
"So, I have to admit, when I walked in the place, I automatically assumed this would be another fancy makeup line that no one can afford and I’d really have to dig to find “what’s different.” But the price range is a refreshing $12-$25.And here’s my favorite part — they were making customized foundation right at the event. I was watching the other girls get it done and it was looking really, really good. I was on my way out, but after seeing that I sat to get mine done."Is this great or what!? I'm overjoyed that the Motives "secret" is finally out! For more photos of the fabulous Muse event, check out flick'r.com!
