Christina Hendricks, Julia Roberts and Lily Allen adore Lancome’s latest skin care product, Génifique Youth Activating Concentrate ($78- $98, sephora.com). The product has been shown in clinical trials to improve skin in 7 days. It evens out skin tone and improves texture.

On Friday, October 22, Lancome will donate $7.00 for every bottle bought to the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital to aid with scientific research. St. Jude is the first and only pediatric cancer center to be designated as a Comprehensive Cancer Center by the National Cancer Institute. St. Jude is the only pediatric cancer research center where families never pay for a treatment not covered by insurance—and no child is ever denied treatment because of the family’s inability to pay. St. Jude is financially supported by ALSAC, its fundraising organization.

If you’re in the market for a new anti-aging product, you may want to take a closer look at Lancome’s Genifique this Friday. You’ll not only pamper yourself, you’ll help someone else.

The one beauty faux pas Kim Kardashian wishes women would stop making?

“I hate when women wear the wrong foundation color,” she tells the Toronto Sun. “It might be the worst thing on the planet when they wear their makeup too light.”

Karadashian, who turns 30 Thursday, helped launch FusionBeauty ColorCEUTICALS collection earlier this week in Toronto, where she revealed her beauty routine.

It’s simple, she says: Toner, cleanser and moisturizers by Perfect Skin. When she’s not working, she sports little makeup, foundation and blush, the paper reports.

Her one beauty must-have? “Definitely blot paper or powder,” she says.

She says it’s inspiring that women turn to her website and Twitter account for beauty and fashion tips.

Says the reality starlet, “I do it for fun and put up fun beauty tips and fashion, so it’s really amazing that people read it and follow it.”

I ran out of my last face wash, and headed to Sephora in search of something new! I use Murad’s Skin Perfecting Lotion, I already knew I loved the line! It’s an awesome non-drying, foaming cleanser that washes away surface oil and makeup. I don’t like to take my makeup off first with a makeup remover – then wash my face with a different product. This combines both – leaving my face feeling clean and healthy! I highly recommend this product! You won’t be disappointed!

I have very sensitive skin, and as I get older, the sun is taking its toll. By the end of the summer, I will have a patch of sun spots that are less than cute. I hate it! I looked into finding sun-spot removers, but there weren’t a lot to pick from. I was happy to get a sample of this product, see if it really works!

I use it twice a day, in the morning and before bed. I’ve noticed the sun spots are slowly going away. I’ve been using it for two weeks, and I’m confident that in a month or so these spots of mine shall be gone like the summer sun! I highly reccommend it!

High-Potency Spot Treatment powerfully reverses UV damage three ways: provides instant luminosity and radiance, reverses visible damage on skin surface and inhibits invisible damage from rising to the surface.

How to use: Apply on areas of concern for targeted action (such as on intense, stubborn spots) or apply over the entire face and décolleté for preventative action (such as blotchiness and hyperpigmentation).

Everyone has their favorite fashion basics–the little black dress, the classic strand of pearls or a soft cashmere cardigan. Now, get the stylish basics of beauty with Laura Geller’s Baked Makeup essentials, formulas that truly transform your cosmetics routine and work for all skin types.

I love this collection! The colors are so gorgeous on. It is perfect as fall approaches! The colors combine to make a very radiant, very beautiful color. I’ve tried all of these products, and I love them all! They are amazing!

Laura Geller knows that looking great starts with a personalized take on colors and trends. That’s why her Baked Collection of powders, foundations, bronzers, shadows and liners work for everyone, whether your look is all natural, classic feminine or daring diva. Here, Laura offers her top favorites along with how-to tips for application. Now let’s get back to the baked basics!

Radiant Skin: “It’s absolutely the foundation to feeling and looking great,” says Laura. Say goodbye to dull, flawed skin with Laura Geller’s Balance-n-Bronze. This innovative and multi-tasking split compact contains a color-correcting baked powder foundation and bronzer in one! Swirls of soft tan, yellow and cream work to correct ruddiness, brighten sallowness and balance the overall complexion. Its silky texture allows for buildable coverage without caking or creasing.

Laura’s Lesson: “Use the balance half of the compact all over the face for breathable coverage and to even out the complexion, then apply the bronzer half where the sun would naturally hit your face for a gorgeous, yet completely natural (and safe!) sun-kissed glow.”

Flawless Flush: It is hot in here or it just us?! Radiate the youthful glow of a “just flushed” cheek with Laura Geller’s Blush-n-Brighten, a mélange of pink, cream, berry and gold hues that blend together to create the perfect shade of color for a smooth, even and natural-looking radiance.

Laura’s Lesson: “To give the face a polished, professional look, apply whatever blush is left on the brush to your eyelids right over your eyeshadow. It’s what we always do on-set to lift and perfect!”

The split dome features Laura’s Baked Cake Eyeliner and a coordinating eyeshadow designed to enhance eye color and define eye shape.

About Laura Geller’s Baked Collection: Laura’s unique Baked Makeup is made exclusively for her in Italy. Each luxurious product starts out as a highly pigmented liquid that is infused with a variety of vibrant, skin flattering colors. The colors are then swirled together and “baked” for 24 hours in terracotta pans to protect the integrity, rich texture and vibrancy. No two products are exactly alike; however, each will deliver breathtaking, breathable coverage and unparalleled blendability! Each product in the collection is free of mineral oil and formulated with age-fighting antioxidants Centella Asiatica and White Tea. Each and every baked product offers micro-layers of skin perfecting coverage for a fresh, luminous and naturally radiant look.

I don’t know how she did it, but Laura Geller has come up with probably the best bronzer I’ve ever used. It just the perfect color! It lightens and brightens where it should! It makes your face look like it’s glowing. And the nice thing is – it stays put. If you use Laura Geller’s primer first, then the bronzer – you’re more than set. It’s not going anywhere! It’s going to look flawless all day!

Half Balance-n-Brighten, baked color-correcting foundation and half Bronze-n-Brighten, baked color-correcting bronzer, this split compact gives you the best of both worlds.

Included is the Retractable Baked Powder Brush designed specifically for her baked complexion products. This brush is made of synthetic fibers that readily pick up the powder and cleanly deposit it on the skin. The synthetic hair also helps your brush stay clean by not absorbing makeup or oils from your face.

How to Use From Laura Geller: I always recommend to my client that they layer the Bronze-n-Brighten over the Balance-n-Brighten for a touch of radiance. You can apply it lightly for a sun-kissed look without any trace of orange. Add a second layer of color for a deeper shade of bronze. The color stays where you put it, will not transfer onto your clothes and it always looks great on your skin.
