According to an anonymous source, Claire Danes experiencing side effects from Latisse!

A gossip item out of the New York Post’s “Page Six” is making Claire Danes’ lashes flutter.

An anonymous source claims “that Danes’ makeup artist has to plaster on concealer to cover the bruise-like purplish and yellowish” skin discoloration that the actress’ use of lash-growth drug Latisse has left around her eyes.

Cited as a possible side effect, skin darkening joins redness, itchiness and alternate hair growth as unwanted consequences that may occur with use of the serum, for which Danes was tapped earlier this year as spokesmodel.

While the 31-year-old Emmy-winning star admits on her Latisse blog to experiencing redness during the first week she was on the lash-growth serum, product maker Allergan is calling foul on the talk of skin darkening.

“Between Claire’s team, Allergan and Claire’s physician, we don’t know where this false rumor originated,” an Allergan spokesperson tells StyleList.

“Claire Danes has been using Latisse since late 2009, and has been happy with her experience and lash results. She continues to use Latisse, and is proud to continue to serve as a spokesperson for the Latisse brand,” adds the spokesperson.

I wonder if it’s true!?

The magic of the Triple Touch!

I have fallen in love with this product! It’s a time saver with all three products in one compact but the time saving is the least of its benefits. You start with the white primer that smooths on like silk and does an amazing job at concealing any pores or wrinkles. Then just a few dabs of concealer hides any imperfections or discoloration. Final step is the foundation powder, its just glides on my skin and leaves my face looking flawless!

My skin has never looked better, I have actually been asked what I am using since I started wearing SENSAI. I thought with only 3 color choices the color might look off. I am somewhere between fair and medium and chose the medium and it matches my skin perfectly.

SENSAI Triple Touch Compact
It’s time to stop worrying about concealer looking splotchy. Just because there will be powdery white snow piling up on your windowsill in a few short weeks, doesn’t mean that your face needs to look powdery, too! Put an end to foundation “pile up” on your face! With the new SENSAI Triple Touch Compact there is no need to worry about your makeup looking too thick, coated and messy, even if you touch up multiple times throughout the day.

All it takes is 3 easy steps for beautiful skin. Instead of carrying around three separate skincare products (wrinkle filling primer, cream concealer, foundation powder) everywhere you go, use this all-in-one elegant compact which blends all together for fresh, flawless skin.

HOW TO USE:

First: Use a hydrating primer or a translucent concealer that will fill in and smooth out fine lines and any wrinkles you may have.

Second: While using your fingertips, pat in a light non-drying, skin-fitting concealer to balance out any discolorations of the skin.

Third: Finish this process off with a light dusting of a non-drying powder foundation that matches the concealer to unify the layers.

The multi-tiered slim Triple Touch Compactfrom SENSAI by Kanebo (www.kanebo.com) has a wrinkle-filling, crease-smoothing translucent concealer, a tinted concealer to balance out discolorations and a luxuriously soft setting powder to unify the two concealers for a silky smooth, flawless finish. All three components feature the new “Melting Touch Formula” that allows each of the layers to “melt” into the skin for a superb, long lasting fit while the Hyaluronic Acid-synthesis triggering Koishimaru Silk hydrates the skin continuously throughout the evening so the concealers and powders don’t dry and cake!
