Must Read: Lucky- October 2007

Look at how gorgeous Mandy Moore is! I have to say, this is one of the best magazine covers I've seen in a while. I actually said, "Wow!" when I saw it. She is just glowing and I love that skirt on her. Maybe The Glow comes from her soaring career. Maybe The Glow comes from the lights and makeup. Or because she actually eats, which goes a long way to putting a smile on my face.

L'Oreal cosmetics were used on Mandy for the cover in neutral shades such as Geranium in their Infallible Lip Colour and the Pink Glow blush. This is a great everyday look for anyone and shows how well you can emphasize what Mama Nature gave you. On Mandy you can appreciate her green eyes and golden-brown hair. What a sophisticated young lady.

Also of note in the issue: beautiful eyes. Makeup artist Jemma Kidd, founder of the Makeup School product line, details three steps to obtaining beautiful eyes. The emphasis is on false eyelashes, which are so popular now it's amazing to think it used to be the exclusive province of runway models and drag queens. However the look can still be achieved without the use of false eyelashes for ladies who are still a little hesitant about that much glue being so close to the peepers. Jemma Kidd does recommend, for those using falsies, to use a dark glue because the look is more natural.
