BJ’s favorite products

My goodness, but how women love beauty tips! New York makeup artist BJ Gillian was inundated with questions when he came on The Shopping Show on FM 107 last Saturday. And since then, I’ve been inundated with requests for his list of favorite products (applause for not taking notes while you were driving, ladies.). So here it is, straight from BJ:

FOUNDATION: SKII AIRTOUCH
CONCEALER: COVERGIRL FRESH COMPLEXION CONCEALER; KRYOLAN DERMACOLOR CREME AND POWDER ( FOR MAJOR COVERAGE)
BLUSH: NARS MULTISTICK
MASCARA: MAX FACTOR LASH PERFECTION MASCARA

LID COLOR: LAURA MERCIER METALLIC CREME EYE COLOR

Goof-proof make-up

As mentioned, I missed Monday’s "Beauty Summit" for stylists and fashion types at the Walker Art Center. But I heard the highlight, aside from the frequent fire alarms (make-up is hot!), was Cover Girl make-up artist B.J. Gillian – a.k.a. "The Guru of Goof-Proof Make-Up," who has painted the faces of Jennifer Aniston, Teri Hatcher, Christie Brinkley and Janet Jackson, to name a few. So I promptly called — he is indeed hilarious — to book him on this Saturday’s Shopping Show on FM107. BJ will bring us up to speed on spring beauty trends (so it’s wrong that I’ve been wearing the same eyeshadow since 2002?), and, most importantly, steer us toward drug store deals as well as products that are truly worth the splurge. Tune in at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, March 30.
