Chaneling that inner glow
April 10, 2005 | 12:00am
Ask any model the secret of being a knockout in any photograph and the answer you’ll get is not eight glasses of water or really good sex. It’s knowing their lighting. Just how do you think Rosie O’ Donell looks human in photos? Good photographers know what to illuminate and what to hide. Lighting has been the dirtiest and best kept secret in Hollywood and the fashion industry. It’s been said that when Dynasty did its final reunion show, the stars each insisted on having their own "beauty" lights to diffuse the lines and make it seem that time has not passed that much. It worked, everyone seemed cryogenically frozen until they were ready for their one last catfight.
The whole concept is too big for my brain – I have other things to worry about apart from being a supernatural siren going towards the light. However, because of miracle factories such as the House of Chanel (and what miracles indeed they do churn out!), we can now have our lighting and live it, too!
Now the word glow was raped in the ‘70s with the cakey frosted look. It looked rather interesting in pictures but I can imagine it being north of appalling in real life. Today, it’s closer to its real definition and with certain potions it can exceed it.
Chanel introduces three great products for your summer home boudoir or for your ready jet-set luggage. Blanc Universel de Chanel, a color enhancing corrective base, creates a pure unified complexion. The gel cream in silky snow white leaves the skin radiant and glowing (regardless of skin color) and not bleached out. The white powder and silicones glide on the skin, and finishes to a gentle matte. Not slimy squid as you might fear. Its lovely alone on sun kissed skin or as a pre-base under foundation.
Speaking of covering bases, Voile Universel is another wonder-product. The ultra sheer foundation is tinted with a range of tones from fresh pink to sultry gold. It’s much like a turbo-boosted tinted moisturizer, which softly diffuses blemishes with a luminous finish and boosts skin with a cocktail of vitamins E and B5 combined with essential fatty acids giving it a healthy glow. All topped with an SPF 15 protection that we all know we need as much as water and a gay best friend these days.
Of course, every beauty spell must be sealed with a kiss. Aqualumiere de Chanel, a moisturizing, protective sheer color lipstick, puts the plug on the strobe light that is you. A feel-good lipstick that combines lip care and beauty, it provides the triple benefits of shine, hydration and protection against the damaging effects of the external environment. I should know, my lips turned black over Easter because I baked myself without putting on protective lip care – regrets, regrets! It comes in 15 shades (my favorite is Male, a juicy berry tone that melts on the lips) that nourish with shea butter and a volume booster that plumps up lips!
So now that you know the importance of light…go be your own superstar for the one last cat fight!
