Sheer color shines this season

HOLIDAY mekeup shimmers and shines.

There’s a new craving for luxury this season. Women weary of neutrals are cafling
out for a shot of color and a hint of glamor.

Cosmetics companies answer with products that glint and gleam, complementing
the richness of holiday fashions in jewel-toned velvets and muted metallics.

New dual-purpose products add versatility to your cosmetics wardrobe and may

even work with products already in your makeup bag.

Barbara Alexander Lnows what works. The creative director of Cargo, a new
Canadian-made line of professional-quatity cosmetics available exclusive at Earon’s,
says che most current way to add shine to your makeup is nor with the oils that slicked
the faces of fashion models on the runways and in the magazines last spring. It's with
whar she calls “flying pigment powders,” finely crushed colored powders that are so
light and feathery, “they add the sheerest shine possible with more holding power
than oil-based shine.”

When oil-based shine mixes with body heat, it moves, says the makeup artist.
These powders stay put. .

Another product that shines is Cargo’s Glitter Gloss Stack: four glitter powders in

Asian country.

Inger Jackson and Lorraine
Oliver think so anyways,

The two North Vancouver moms
have started a cottage industry,
Forever & Ever, fashioning chenille
bedspreads into kiddic-sized robes.

They invite customers to bring
their own bedspread or choose from
a selection of woven cloths, chenille
and vintage fabrics that two friends
have culled from antique stores and
estate sales throughout Western
Canada.

Kids love the pre-washed, worn
comfort of the robes, they say, and
cuddle.them like a “blankey with
arms.” The robes sell for $75 to
$135 and are available by custom
order at 985-1126.
