Here is one suggestion for a perfect combination of foundation finish, eye and lip make-up that will satisfy your need to experiment and will give you a great, yet practical makeover you'll be able to repeat at any time.
1. The Complexion Perfection Duo (priced at $40) - an ingenious blend of a cream-to-powder foundation and a matching concealer. The Camouflaging Concealer helps reduce shadows, wrinkles and skin imperfections instantly. It also contains astringent Thai Lemon Grass which helps tighten and lift your skin for a smooth finish. The foundation comes in 10 separate shades. Its nourishing formula contains Chamomile and the more exotic Illippe Butter and Neem to soothe your skin, while at the same time allowing for a silky, matte finish.
2. BoHo Exotic Eyes Kit (also $40) - Key words: a blend between glamorous Hollywood and the intense thrill of dramatic Bollywood eye makeup. Richly pigmented eyeshadow, intense mascara and eye liners will leave you feeling beautiful and self confident. The kit contains:
- One pair of "Flutter" Eyelashes and Eyelash Adhesive
- "Maharani Rose/Rajah Brown" Shimmer Shadow
- "India Ink" Black Kohl/Kajal Eye Pencil
- "Sapphire Stone" Kohl/Kajal Eye Pencil

3. Moroccan Lip Veils ($15 each, sold separately) - drenching your lips in sheer color blended with long-lasting nourishing hydration (SPF 15). Take your pick from these highly addictive six colors: sheer pink, shimmery, luminous pink, apricot (a celebrity favorite), cinnamon, shimmering pinkish gold and sheer wine.
