POWDER PLAY
"Powder will always be your friend in the summer," says Sam Fine, a celebrity makeup artist and creator of the soon-to-launch DVD The Basics of Beauty, who has worked closely with Jennifer Hudson, Tyra Banks and Vanessa Williams. But resist going overboard. "Don’t fight the glow during the summer – let it literally shine through," Sam says. "The forehead and cheeks are more consistent in color and texture so forgo using foundation and powder in those areas and keep them dewy.” His favorite beauty bargain brands for women of color like Jennifer include Black Opal, Iman Cosmetics and the Queen collection from CoverGirl.
