Perfect Skin Made Easy

No offense, but your skin could look better, and mine looks basically perfect. Okay, fine, I can't actually see your skin and you can't see mine, but whatever, I stick by my statement. Whether you have great skin or troubled skin you will LOVE this three step process with a trio of products from Amazing Cosmetics.

$34

First, apply The Anti-Aging Face Primer all over your face. It's basically just a moisturizer (don't worry its very light; oil, fragrance and paraben-free) and a primer in one bottle. (Whether you wear blush, foundation, basically anything on your face I always recommend a primer.) It will keep you moisturized for 24 hours and it makes your skin totally smooth for the next step...

$42 (An Allure Editors Choice winner, to boot)

The Amazing Concealer. This does NOT go all over, you are not a mannequin. Use on under eye circles, redness (like right on the sides of your nose), dark spots or basically anywhere that is showing any skin damages. It's waterproof so it will not being going anywhere all day and you only need a PIN-SIZE DOT. Because you only need a tiny bit the bottle will last you forever. There are 10 different shades, so you can definitely find one to match your skin tone. One of my favorite things about this product is that while it will cover anything you don't want seen, it won't clog your pores and make you break out, plus it has cucumber extract, which is anti-puffing and smoothing.

$36

Finally, I apply my Velvet Mineral Liquid. I tend to stay away from 'concealer' as I don't like to feel like I am wearing a second skin, but if I am going to be in pictures, I also don't want a shiny face. This product is amazing. It obviously conceals, but it's also hydrating and feeds your skin with minerals. It is SPF 15 (don't forget how crazy I am about SPF, no wrinkles for me!). The Mineral Liquid also comes in 10 shades.

Check out their website, they even have instructional videos on how to use the products:

Our Story

We are Sutton and Astor Van Brigsby. We were born and raised on Park Avenue, a mere hop, skip and 30-second ride with our driver, Morton, from Fifth Avenue. Oh, yes, there was a time when our daily shopping trips were what chick-flick montages were made of – sales assistants scurried at our beck and call, we did lots of twirling in front of fitting room mirrors without spilling our glasses of champagne, and doormen helped Morton help us into the car with stacks of hatboxes – which had shopping bags of clothing and shoes inside of them, because we’re not really into hats. But our designer RTW-filled reality came crashing to a traumatizing end when our father went ballistic one day – WHY we do not know – and cut up our credit cards. Apparently, it bothered him that we had spent his secretary’s annual salary in one trip to Bergdorf. He completely cut us off, I mean stone cold. With the exception of health insurance, cell phone bills, cable and electricity, we are COMPLETELY on our own. Left to our own devices to stay as well dressed as before but on a salary that doesn’t even compare to our past allowance. So, I, Astor, took a job in fashion and Sutton took a job in beauty. It is all we know and love, after all, and we figured that way we would have our bases covered with discounts – what else is a girl to do? If you’re like us, trying to keep a closet stocked with the kind of stuff Bill Cunningham will notice you in on a less-than-desirable salary, join us, won’t you? We’ll support each other, we’ll have cry fests over things we can’t have – and we’ll come up with ways to make the number of those things less and less by hunting sample sales, scouring the internet for discounts and even DIYing up our own versions. We WILL get through this together.
