Carisa Janes Reinvents Luxury Cosmetics

Hailed as “the world’s youngest beauty-biz veteran” by Glamour Magazine in 1999, Hourglass founder Carisa Janes quickly established herself in the cosmetic business as a beauty innovator. Having started as an original member of a now iconic Gen-X line, Janes learned the inner workings of the cosmetics industry by developing products all the way from concept to market. She eventually went on to become the creative force behind two successful prestige brands and in the teen market. In 2004, Janes’ visionary approach to cosmetics led her to create Hourglass Cosmetics.

Having sensed a void in the luxury cosmetics arena, Janes was inspired to create a brand that truly exemplified modern luxury. She developed a line that was not only beautiful and functional, but also incorporated advanced skincare technology without the use of parabens and overpowering fragrances commonly found in many beauty products.

Today, with Veil Fluid Makeup and Veil Mineral Primer as their bestselling products, Hourglass Cosmetics has quickly established itself as the must-have staple in a woman’s daily makeup routine—including Janes’. “I feel makeup is the most feminine form of creative expression,” Janes said, “and it’s also one of the great luxuries of being a woman.”

From their patent-pending Solar Tan Self-Tanning Primer to the cult-favorite Veil Fluid Makeup and Veil Mineral Primer, Hourglass pushes the boundaries when it comes to creating innovative, luxurious makeup that any beauty junkie would be proud to carry in their beauty bag. And their foundation assortment is no exception. Revealing the latest in treatment and anti-aging technology, each Hourglass one is formulated with advanced, cutting-edge ingredients that repair, slow, and prevent the signs of aging. Featuring smooth-to-the-touch textures and formulas, the entire complexion line offers the makeup coverage you crave with all the benefits of quality skincare—so you get the best of both beauty worlds.

Hourglass’ foundation does so many good things for your skin, you’ll forget you’re wearing just makeup. To start, its got an SPF, so no extra sunscreen is needed to protect your skin from the damaging rays of the sun. Next, its smooth, silicone-based formula also includes a 3% concentration of Matrixyl® to keep wrinkles at bay, while vitamins A and E work together to moisturize and nourish the skin with essential antioxidants. Lastly, Veil Fluid Makeup is ideal for all skin types and its oil- and fragrance-free formula is non-irritating, making it perfect for sensitive and rosacea- or acne- prone skin. Consider it a part of your everyday, anti-aging skincare regimen. Retail: $60; Veil Fluid Makeup Oil Free SPF 15, Retail: $52; Veil Mineral Primer SPF 15, Retail: $55; Illusion Tinted Moisturizer Oil Free SPF 15

 
Application Tips:

• After allowing moisturizer to set, apply Veil Fluid Makeup in a circular motion using Foundation Brush No. 2 or your fingertips. Applying Veil Fluid Makeup with a sponge is not recommended.

• For a truly flawless finish, mix Veil Fluid Makeup and Veil Fluid Mineral Primer at a ratio of 2:1 prior to applying.

Special Ingredients:
Matrixyl®: This wrinkle-treating active peptide was developed to be superior to retinol and vitamin C in its efficiency toward the prevention and treatment of wrinkles. Its anti-wrinkle efficacy not only delivers results quickly, but achieves them without the irritating or negative side effects commonly associated with retinol, like redness, itchiness, scaling, or increased sensitivity to the sun. In a six-month study, daily application of Matrixyl® at 3% (the same amount used in Veil) resulted in:

• 21.6% decrease in wrinkle depth decrease

• 16.4% increase in skin smoothness

• 24.4% decrease in wrinkle volume

Leading fashion manicurist Deborah Lippmann is the go-to girl for Hollywood’s hottest nails! The nail polish trend-maker styled Lady Gaga’s nails for Vanity Fair’s September cover with Waking Up In Vegas. The putty-licious gray crème is a super-sultry rendition of the popular grey-nail look.

The first time the pair met, Lippmann applied Ruby Red Slippers to the popstar’s nails—an encounter that inspired bold new addition to the Deborah Lippmann line, Bad Romance. Lippmann set out to capture all the elements of Gaga’s larger than life persona in a bottle and thought “What would Gaga do?” The result? Bad Romance—a moody, dark yet brilliantly provocative glitter polish. The chunky sequin shade reflects Gaga’s signature statement-making style and the bold message of the namesake song.

During the September issue Vanity Fair shoot, Lippmann presented Gaga with the first bottle of Bad Romance and she couldn’t have been more appreciative to have a polish named after one of her songs.

Reviews:

Lady Gaga’s fans in the U.S. will finally be able to pick up the pop star’s collection of revamped hits, Lady Gaga — The Remix when the album hits stores Stateside on August 3. The album — which features reworked hits from production stars such as Madonna collaborator Stuart Price and artists like dance-pop band Passion Pit — has already sold more than 500,000 units internationally.

The album features 10 tracks from Gaga’s albums The Fame and The Fame Monster. Gaga’s Little Monsters can bump remixed versions of hits like “Alejandro,” “Bad Romance,” “Just Dance,” “LoveGame,” “Paparazzi,” “Poker Face” and “Telephone.”

Lady Gaga — The Remix should allow fans to experience the ubiquitous singer’s major hits in a new way. Mother Monster is already cementing her superstar status by becoming the first living person to collect more than 10 million Facebook fans, a staggering figure that even bests President Barack Obama (Gaga also has more Twitter followers and YouTube subscribers than the prez).

The album should tide over Gaga’s fans until the pop star unleashes her follow-up to The Fame Monster. However, there is a light at the end of the tunnel: The star recently revealed that she has finished recording her next album. “I’ve been working on it for months now, and I feel very strongly that it’s finished right now,” Gaga told Rolling Stone. “It came so quickly. Some artists take years; I don’t. I write music every day.”

I loved her first album, second and now her remixes…..
