Dick Page, extraordinary artist and Shiseido Artistic Director, has created a brilliant color to feature exclusively at Nordstrom: Perfect Rouge lipstick in Rose Bronze (RS799) [shown right]. The shade is "soft" and "rose-toned" and features a "delicate metallic pearl". You can pick yours up March (now!) through June of 2009 - only at Nordstrom. Expect to drop $25, and also expect not to regret it!
PS: here are some quick tips from Dick Page on how to get the look featured on the face chart above, called Bronze Beauty...- Glimmering Bronze Smokey Eyes |
- Hydro Powder Shadow in Tiger Eye (H3) from lash to brow.
- On the back of the hand, mix Tiger Eye (H3) with a dab of Accentuating Cream Eyeliner in Dark Brown (2) to create a deeper, lustrous shadow.
- Apply and blend from upper lashline to the crease and to lower lashline.
- Apply Accentuating Cream Eyeliner in Dark Brown (2) to the top and bottom lash lines to elegantly define.
- Apply Lasting Lift Mascara in Black (LL1) to upper and lower lashes to create maximum curl and volume.
- Flushed Cheeks | Pat and blend the Accentuating Color Stick in Bronze Flush (S1) for brilliantly flush cheeks.
- Rose Bronze lips | Apply the New Smoothing Lip Pencil in Rosewood (BR706) to the entire lip area, following the natural lip line and shape, then apply the NEW EXCLUSIVE Perfect Rouge Rose Bronze (RS799) lipstick to the entire lip area to give lips a plump look.

So what do YOU think? Do you "need" any of these? Gonna pass? Share with the class!
I am all over these Armani lipsticks, kids. I love that line and am making a trek over to Saks soon to pick up a Lip Wax (finally) and one or two (or more?) of these sheer lippies. Look for a review soon!
I personally LOVE the customizable palettes that are popping up all over the place. First, I think, Trish McEvoy had her planner system that I think is so amazingly convenient and brilliant. Recently, we've seen Bobbi Brown do it, allowing Bobbi fans to organize cheek, eye and lip colors at will. And MAC always has their pro palettes for shadows and blushes, though they don't really have a nifty combo carry-along type of system (HINT, HINT, MAC gods!). And now Prescriptives is giving their fans a chance to further customize an already lovely and customizable product line! YAY!
Shiseido's Perfect Rouge lipsticks are phenomenol. Look for a reveiw of a few other shades soon. I'd check this out if you're near a Nordies!
