The Makeup Show LA! Part One: Smashbox

Leopard print hair, body paint, and crowds and crowds of people talking about glitter.  No it's not Burning Man, it's the Makeup Show LA!  I braved the sea of palettes, potions, and pots to bring you the biggest makeup trends of the moment and to figure out what products are worth your hard-earned dough.

The biggest trend this year seemed to be towards HD Makeup (with brands like Make Up For Ever leading the charge), natural makeup (Mineral makeup abounded), and shimmer and glitter.  I'll tell you all about these trends and more next week.

But you don't want to fork over your hard earned money on just TRENDS, you want something TRIED AND TRUE.  I hunted around to find out the most popular products from various lines to you could know your purchase was approved by makeup artists and everyday women alike.

I started off with a trip to Smashbox to find out about their heavy hitters. I spoke with Lori who told me all about Halo, Smashbox's mineral powder, O glow, their innovative blush gel, their breakthrough primer, and more.
