What's up in Makeup News! Issa Rae X Cover Girl + Hurricane Inspired Makeup Look? + Makeup Machines!

There's a brand new CoverGirl, retail is taking on some new forms, and hurricane inspired makeup? I'm Jen from Jen Luvs Reviews and What's Up in Makeup Starts Now Welcome to What's Up in Makeup for September 17, 2017. Let's get started with the Top Industry News Covergirl has been a household name in the cosmetics industry for decades, often choosing an amazing person as the "face" of the brand. People like Queen Latifah, Rihanna, Ellen Degeneres, and the ageless Christie Brinkley have enhanced the value of the brand. Now, the company has named its latest CoverGirl... Issa Rae, well known for her web series "Awkward Black Girl" and her role in the HBO series "Insecure". The official announcement was made through Issa’s IG page where she stated, "I remember...casually flipping through COVERGIRL ads, singing their slogan in my head. Never EVER in my life did I imagine I'd be one." Issa stands out as the only face of CoverGirl that has written and starred in her own T.V. show. She said in an official statement, "My character is ever-evolving, and makeup is a tool to help transform my persona — whether for a role I play in content that I produce, or the different roles I take on in my life." She went on to add, "Becoming a CoverGirl means a lot because the brand recognizes just how important it is for people to embrace their individuality and express themselves in unique and diverse ways. This has been a major part of my personal journey, and a message that I want to share with others." Congrats Issa on this latest achievement! And if you see CoverGirl displays in store, you may also see one of the Collective Influencer Network with products to recreate their looks. Look for the Instagram logo on those displays. Creating makeup looks that no one else has done is getting harder and harder to do. It seems people have thought of everything, but turns out there's always a new spin on makeup to be had. On September 9th, instagrammer Kali Harlow stepped out of the box and into the storm with this hurricane inspired eye look. As part of the text accompanying the post, Kali wrote “my heart breaks for the Caribbeans, the Bahamas, and now Florida and eventually Georgia. Everyone please be safe and be careful.” However, not everyone saw the look the way Kali did and comments soon erupted into their own storm. One commenter wrote: “Very cool… Timing? So wrong. People are dying and [you are] taking advantage of the situation to get likes. Not cool.” Kali eventually apologized to “everyone who I have offended with my latest makeup post.” So, what do you think? Was this just art or was it disrespectful to the people who endured, and are still enduring. the effects of this tragic event? We’d love to know your thoughts in the comments below. Fashion Week seems to be an exciting time to gain inspiration for your next makeup look. And once you get that inspiration, the search for the perfect product to recreate the look begins. This year the search has become more affordable. Elf Cosmetics debuted 5 limited edition bundles with designer Christian Siriano! Each bundle contains 5-6 products to help you get the fashion week look, and each is a thrifty $26 or less. Here are the highlights with their inspo shots: Elf x Christian Siriano Fuschia Lip Look - $17 Navy Eye Look - $19 Gold Eye Look - $24 Fuschia Eye Look - $24 and the Green Eye Look - $26 Tom Ford has done it again for all lipstick lovers. The Boys and Girls Collection, which just launched in time for the holidays consists of 100 different shades, each named after one of Tom Ford's closest friends. Each lipstick is clutch-sized, luxury packaging with the "boys" being housed in dark mahagony tubes and the "girls" in white. The Collection has a wide range of finishes including cream, mattes, ultra rich, metallic, and sheers, and shades range from the High Shine pale silvery blue of Lily to the Metallic Dark Aubergine named Travis. With so many available, how do you choose? Most of us would see if there is one with your name. If not, consider this...boys are the more pigmented shades, and girls are the shimmers and sheers. Still stymied? Keep in mind that the girls are limited edition and the boys are permanent at Sephora and tomford.com. You may have seen vending machines by Benefit and Sephora in some major airports across the US. Well, now there's another vending machine on the way. CVS Pharmacy's automated retail vending machines will soon be on the scene, stocked with popular personal care products, as well as over-the-counter health products and snacks. The first 25 machines will be installed now through the end of October in New York and New England, in transportation hubs, office parks and college campuses. An additional 50+ locations throughout the country may be planned next. Now through October 8, there is a curated retail boutique in Story on 10th and 19th in Manhattan's west side. It features the Coty brands CoverGirl, Clairol, Rimmel and Sally Hansen in a setting that says, "come on in and fill your Instagram feed." The concept blends mass, masstige, prestige and luxury, so you will find drugstore products mixed in with luxury skincare...just like your own bathroom! And products are displayed in highly Instagrammable vignettes, including a mosaic at the A1 Array Portrat Studio for your selfies. There will also be virtual try-on mirrors and a DIY maincure station. in EVENTS this week the Nordstrom Beauty Trend Weeks and Trend shows are coming!
