Customized Color – You Already Own

Custom Cover Drops from CoverFX are pure pigments that allow you to customize any product in your beauty regimen and control the level of coverage. These color drops can be mixed with anything liquid, think: moisturizers, serums, oils, primers, foundations, tinted moisturizers and more – to turn them into a custom cosmetic base.

The formula features Flash Fusion™ technology, so as soon as you drop, everything but the pure pigment flashes off, weightlessly transforming your favorite beauty product in the palm of your hand. The pigments are also coated with Lecithin, which is biochemically similar to skin, smoothing the pigment particles so they spread easily.

It’s simple to use, too. Just place your usual product into the palm of your hand, drop in Custom Cover Drops, mix with your fingertips and transform into perfect customized coverage, from a sheer tint (1 drop) to a full coverage foundation (4 drops). Available in 25 shades.

Cover FX Custom Cover Drops, $44, this April at Sephora stores nationwide.

Love this! The newest breakthrough from NYC New York Color turns any nail color into peel-able polish. Strip Me Off Base Coat tackles even your thickest polishes and its formula protects nails while smoothing ridges and imperfections – plus it keeps you from damaging acetone soaks that dry nails and cuticles.

Sure it works with satin, gloss and matte polishes, but the best part? It also easily peels off glitter and textured effects, too, when you’re so ready for the party to be over.

You just apply Strip Me Off base coat to clean nails and once the white coat has dried to a transparent finish, paint with your favorite nail color, or even textured polish! The last and most gratifying step: waiting to grow tired of your polish fast enough so you can peel it off Elmer’s-glue-first-grade-style!

Strip Me Off Base Coat isn’t available online yet but is rolling out in an area Target, Walmart, CVS and Duane Reade near you.

Some of our favorite base and top coats.

Illamasqua Next-Levels Contouring – with Gel

Illamasqua launches Gel Sculpt and Gel Color, the brand’s first contouring stick and collection of cheek tints.

The lightweight and waterproof formula in Gel Sculpt’s Silhouette blends effortlessly into the skin, creating a subtle and natural contoured look. According to Alex Box, Illamasqua Creative Director, the Gel Sculpt is “one of the most innovative, exciting products we have made as it revolutionizes the way we look at contouring.”

Crafted with a similar formula, Gel Color is a highly pigmented cheek tint that provides an instant flush of color. Available in Fluster, a delicate poetic pink, and Charm, an apricot-like pigment, “Gel Color is designed to give the most convincing, fresh flush to the cheek. It mimics nature in that you can see your skin through the color and unlike cream or matte blushers; its transparency is what makes it feel fresh and real.”

Gel Sculpt in Silhouette ($37) and Gel Color in Fluster and Charm ($37) will be available April 1^st on Net-A-Porter.com
