welcome, matte.
Written by Yvette N. Coleman

Mally Roncal is once again leading us into the new wave of hassle free beauty.  I first met Mally at the C.E.W event earlier this year and from the few moments that I had the chance to spend with her, she has been with me everyday. 

In my purse that is!  This summer I have been shapin’ and glowin’ just about everywhere and even through the heat wave!  Her lightweight defining system that comes in it’s cute pink pouch has caused so much curiosity when I pull it out, (not to mention the aroma from the so seductive lip gloss that shares that pouch from Mally).

So naturally when I heard that she had a new system - - I knew I must have it.  Mally has a new trick in her beauty bag and is guiding the way with a new, modern take on matte.

Mally gives her audience more to crave with the introduction of: Lift, Shape & Glow and Matte Wand.  Just in step for fall and to gain the loyalty of other beauty manics that want a shimmer-less product in their arsenal as well.

“The matte trend is hot right now,” says Mally.  “More and more, women are looking for shimmer free products and I wanted to give them the ability to achieve the look of the moment without any hassle and without looking dated.

” Just as it’s shimmery counterpart the matte system highlights bone structure while casting a sexy glow all without a hint of shimmer.

A double-ended miracle worker, Matte Wand instantly erases fatigue and dullness in the eyes.  One quick flick with this pen-like tool will awaken the entire face, so it’s no surprise Light Wand, is already a must-have product among today’s hard working, sleep deprived set.  One side is a soft pencil, the other a subtle sponge dabber that dispenses the perfect amount of matte shadow dust to soften and blend.  By applying to areas such as the inner corners of eyes, brow bones and cupid’s bow, Matte Wand accents the face, rendering a bright, yet natural illumination. 
Mally's tip: Don't be fooled by the pencil's subtle color- it delivers noticeable brightness, so no need for a heavy hand. $25.00 

Mally’s how to tricks:

Lift, Shape & Glow face defining system

Step 1: First, use the white end of the double-sided brush and apply the highlight powder anywhere you want to Lift, especially cheekbones and brow bones. Tip: Apply the light powder to collarbones to enhance your sexy décolletage.

Step 2: Use the dark end of the brush to apply Shape in the hollows under the cheekbone. No need to worry about racing stripes - this powder is lightly pigmented to create sheer definition and a beautiful, natural contour. Another trick: Apply it along the jaw line to define the face and achieve an instant lift, starting at the back of the ear and sweeping all the way to the chin.

Step 3: Finally, it's time for some Glow, girl! Mally tried just about every color on the planet to devise the perfect blush shades. To apply, smile, then work the matte blush into the apple of the cheek using a circular motion. Molly's tip: Slowly make the circle bigger and blend until the desired look is achieved.

"Matte Wand is perfect for those who shun shimmer, but still want to bring a touch of light to critical areas," says Mally.

Some of Molly's Super-Stealth Matte Wand tricks:

  1. Matte Wand can also be used to highlight the brow bone for extra definition.
  2. Dab the dust slightly onto the bridge of the nose, smudging the edges with your fingers as necessary to help draw attention away from dark circles.
  3. When used on the cupid's bow, it makes lips appear fuller and pout-ier.
  4. Apply Matte Wand as a "lip sharpener" - a trick Mally always uses on her clients' pouts. Once you finish your regular lip routine, take the pencil end and outline the outer comers of the mouth. Then take the powder end and soften the pencil line, blending with your finger. This makes the lip line appear sharper and more defined.

"Even though they seem simple, little tricks like these are the difference in makeup that looks like it's done by a pro," says Mally.

Lift, Shape & Glow and Matte Wand are available on QVC, QVC.com and Henri Bendel, 1-800 HBENDEL.
