Everyone loves a Limited Edition Lipstick - Fast Kisses from Lancôme!

What happens when Lancôme Makeup Artist, Lora Spiga and fashion designer, Mark Fast get together to hand pick a lipstick to compliment the knitwear garment he designed exclusively for Luminato to reinterpret Lancôme's iconic rose and femininity?  Why a fuchsia lipstick matching Fast's creation!  And as long as you are going to match it to your design, you might as well name it for yourself too - introducing the very limited edition L'Absolu Rouge Lipstick - Fast Kisses - which will only be sold at two exclusive locations in Canada - the Lancôme counter at the The Bay on Queen Street if you are in Toronto or online at www.lancome.ca/markfast  - available  for $35 from June 17 - June 19 or until stock runs out, whatever comes first. You can also come down to The Bay on Queen Street on June 17th, from 5-6pm to meet Mark and Lora who will be available to autograph your pretty new lipstick!  Now I haven't seen the colour in person but the clever Michelle at Lipstick Rules has already procured herself one and you can see it on her here.

And here's how to get Lora's Luminato look:

1.         Start with a very well moisturized complexion. This includes eyes and lips.

2.         Apply La Base Pro to T-Zone. This will help perfect your make-up result and give a more flawless finish.

3.         Apply Teint Idole Fresh Wear all over the face with your hands. Start at the center of the face and spread outward. Use the foundation brush to even the foundation out. This ensures uniformity.

4.         Apply Effacernes concealer into the inner corner of the eye to create more lightness. Use concealer to perfect the skin.

5.         Set with Color Ideal Pressed powder. Apply only in concealed areas, side of the nose and between eyebrows. Do not apply powder to entire face.

6.         Contour using Tropiques Minérale Pressed Powder Bronzer in Suntan. Focus on the areas that naturally get sun (nose, across the center of the face, forehead).

7.         For a stronger contoured effect, apply bronzer with a brush #7 (Precision Blush Brush) underneath the cheek bones brushing towards the ears and on jawline.

8.         Apply Blush Subtil in Shimmer Mocha Havanna in large circular motions on cheekbones moving up towards hairline.

9.         Prep the eye with Aquatique eyeshadow base. This will give the eye a very clean look and help shadow to stay all day.

10.      Tap Color Design Eye Shadow in Honeymoon onto mobile lid with fingertips.

11.      Apply 2-3 coats of Définicils Mascara. Be sure to stretch the mascara from root to tip paying close attention to the root. This allows you to create the illusion of a fuller lash line without the added eyeliner.

12.      Apply L'Absolu Rouge in FAST KISSES. Start at the center of the lips.
