Rummaging through your mother’s makeup
drawer or makeup bag was once considered as
bad as rummaging through her closet. Playing
makeup is a common activity for young girls, but
many of the products discovered in their mother’s
collection is either extremely dated or essentially
not right for their much younger skin type.
However, that has changed. Makeup and skin
care companies are creating products that are as
appealing to your mothers as they are to their
kin! Some products and product lines to check
out – FW has got you covered!

• Clinique is a popular choice for skin care and
makeup. Once thought of as a product geared
more towards older women- that has changed
in recent years with young woman realizing the
benefit that early skin care products can have.
One particular Clinique set that is perfect for
both mother and daughter is their “All About
Tomorrow Set”. This skin care set includes
Turnaround™ Concentrate Visible Skin Renewer
which visibly brightens your skin, Turnaround
15-Minute Facial for a weekly radiance boost and
All About Eyes Rich™ which diminishes the
look of under-eye circles and shadows.

• Philosophy has in recent years become a
popular choice for skin care. Oprah Winfrey is
a fan and like most things that Oprah touches,
it has inevitably turned into gold! Philosophy’s
“Makeup Optional Collection” is a 5-step
regimen that refreshes and rejuvenates skin
(young and old) to allow you to wear 50% less
makeup. Makeup artists always say that the key
to a flawless face is flawless skin, and this set
by Philosophy will definitely give your face that
added boost!

• No matter what age we are, we’re always
confused by our skin’s unpredictable behaviour!
However, Benefit has released a new collection
that includes products that will help keep your
skin fresh, clean and free of problems. The
“Skincare Solutions Collection” is set of 6
products aimed to specific area of your face,such as eye cream. Each product has a distinct
purpose from exfoliating, to moisturizing to
cleansing.

• Mineral makeup is proving to be a popular
choice for women, regardless of age. Even more
common brands such as CoverGirl and L’Oreal
have introduced minerals into their powders
to enhance one’s natural complexion. A good
choice is Bare Escentuals’ “bareMinerals Get
Started Complexion Enhancers”. Offering a
comprehensive set which introduces simple ways
to enhance your best features such as your eyes
and cheek bones. This collection dares you to go
beyond your normal foundation-only routine and
create new dynamic ways to showcase your skin.
This set includes a brochure as well as a DVD to
help use the product.

• Whether we like it or not, from school to work,
we are always busy! And on the go products are
that much more essential to our everyday routine.
Also, having to worry about our makeup’s
longevity throughout the day is another problem
our busy minds don’t need to contend with.
When applying your makeup in the morning, we
want to make sure it stays put – no matter what
our busy day might bring our way. Make Up
For Ever has a “Mist & Fix to Go” spray which
sets all types of make and ensures that it stays
on even under the most extreme conditions. The
bottle is small enough to fit in your purse to take
along with you wherever you go!
Those are just a few of the products made
available that can be used by both mother and
daughter. In this case, sharing has never looked
so good.
