The Best Pressed Powder

Jacqui Stafford — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 19:05:55 +0000

Everyone's always asking me the trick to flawless skin up close (especially since that damn HDTV magnifies just about everything). But I've been obsessed with T. LeClerc pressed powder in Banane since forever. Yes, the powder's a scary shade of yellow, but it gives your skin that undeniable, lit-from-within glow. Annoyingly, it's always sold out just about everywhere, but you can get it here. $50; T. LeClerc Poudre Compacte Dermophile Pressed Powder Cannellet-leclerc.co.uk/

The Ultimate Gorgeous Home Accessory

I've fallen in love with the exquisitely-designed glassware collection from talented designer Scott Avidon. This particular piece—inspired by a solitary early morning run around the coastal hills of Ireland as the rolling fog revealed the glorious shades of green—works in a myriad of ways: a cigar ashtray, a placement for fine jewelry, or even a stunning dining table centerpiece.$395; avidondesign.com.

Dream Fragrance

One of those classics that remains as timeless as the day I first discovered it in Paris—a super-cute, Audrey Hepburn-esque Parisian girl passed by, and I asked her the name of the fragrance she was wearing. "Mais, c'est Chance!" she told me, and skipped away. This is what this is: The essence of Paris, captured in a bottle. Buy it here.">

The Ultimate Eye Pencil

Here's how I look awake and refreshed for my 5am TV call times: Trace a slim line of pearly white liner by Makeup Forever (Aqua Eyes in 14L) along the lower lashline and near the tear duct. The white instantly makes your eyes pop and look as if you've had eight hours of blissful shut-eye. Buy it here.

THE SEXY ANKLE BOOTIE

The shoe-bootie is still here to stay. This spring, the sexy ankle booty comes with textured embellishments in candy-store shades. Don’t be fooled by the double-platform heel—it actually makes the shoe more wearable, yet gives you that supermodel height. Buy it here.

THE LEG-LENGTHENING NEUTRAL PUMP

Here’s a tip directly from my personal style class: Rub a shimmering body lotion over bare legs, then wear a nude-shaded, high heeled pump to give the illusion of longer, leaner legs this spring. Buy it here.

THE STRAPPY WEDGE

The most wearable trend this spring? A mid-height, multi-strap wedge that’s a sexier version of last summer’s gladiator sandals. Pour La Victoire’s pinky-nude design works with skinny jeans by day, and a sparkling mini by night. Buy it here.

Flip It

Even for the world's most non-tech person, I'm one of the early adopters of the FLIP pocket-sized camcorder—and I'm addicted. I carry one in every handbag I own to capture those only-in-New York, split-second moments in time. Everything from baby's first glimpse of Elmo at Madison Square Garden, to the drag queen in full Kabuki-makeup hailing a cab in a snowstorm. Priceless. Plus I can send it to grandma in England and sister in Australia within secs. Click here to buy!

Head over Heels

Wore a pair of Alexandra Neel's celeb-adored shoes on the Tyra Show the other day—and now I'm addicted. This outrageously-sexy d'Orsay pump is your foot's equivalent of a push-up bra: the low-cut front and nude shade make your legs go on for miles. Halle Berry, Jennifer Aniston and Madonna are fans.

Badgely Mischka clutch

From the front row at Badgley Mischka’s Fall 2010 show, it was all gorgeously-textured, moody shades of sparkling smoke, mist, silver and jet. This silk envelope clutch in dream-about-graphite is a simple silhouette yet an instant classic—and supplies just enough dramatic twinkle for any cocktail hour.
