Secret cover-up of celebrity make-up artists
In her "Pulse" column in yesterday's New York Times, Ellen Tien featured Cover FX.
Her piece follows.
- Camouflage for Cuties
Shoppers are seeking summer cover-ups of all types — and Cover FX offers just that. The oil-free foundation is a secret weapon in the kits of celebrity make-up artists.
Doubling as a concealer, it has been used on Angelina Jolie and Cate Blanchett to cover blemishes and tattoos. Cover FX comes in more than 30 shades for precise skin-tone matching. Its Dermafix technology lets you build coverage; it won't rub away every time you pat on more.
A dusting of Setting FX makes the product water resistant, and can be used to set eyeliner and mascara, too. Scars, veins, acne, bruises and tattoos do a fast fade with just a few daubs of the brush, so dare to be bare.
Cover FX costs $37 and Setting FX $30.

My wife (known universally as The Squid) has only worn makeup once - on our wedding day. And that was sparse. It's one of the many things I love about her.

Concur with flautist. Never can be arsed to use any makeup at all whatsoever.
Then again, I don't have paparazzi chasing my ass everywhere.

Scars, veins, acne, bruises, tattoos?
Damn. There is some hard livin' going on in celebrityville. Makes me wonder what kinds of swamp hags some of them are without their grout and caulk.
My motto: Minimal makeup! Let the citizens of the world get used to gazing upon your minor imperfections. Builds character.

Why don't they just called it primer/sealer like anyone doing a paint job on an old wreck would?
