Olivia Palermo at the VMA’s!

I must confess, I do not really enjoy Olivia Palermo. Mostly because I adore Whitney Port, and she’s just not very nice to her on The City! But, rumor has it, much of that is scripted, and she’s actually kind of cool…so I’ll attempt to reserve judgment. (As best I can.)

I will say, though, she looked super hot at the VMA’s last night – she was wearing KohGenDo cosmetics! This is a line I wear a lot of, and have been a fan of for months now.
Dyana Aives, Olivia’s makeup artist, did her makeup for the awards yesterday and said Olivia “raved about how beautiful her skin looked and how natural and bright her complexion appeared.”
Here’s the products that were used if you want to try to steal the look. They are all available at www.kohgendocosmetics.com:
Yellow Makeup Color Base
Moisture Concealer
Aqua Foundation in OC-2
(with a bit of Moisture Foundation in PK23 for color match)
Natural Lighting Powder
Fresh Face Cheek Color in Caramel Bronze
Lipstick in Nude Beige BE04
The KohGenDomakeup and skincare collection was inspired by TV and film actress to create a flawless finish that looks picture perfect on camera and every day. Using the power of Japanese and Chinese herbs, KohGenDo base makeup erases pores and uneven skin tone, giving you a freshnatural look that even looks good on high-definition television.
Some of the best makeup artists in the business swear by KohGenDo. It has been used on the sets of Good Morning America, Beverly Hills 90210, Dancing with the Stars, Hannah Montana, Brothers and Sisters, House M.D. and numerous other TV shows, movies, commercials and theatre productions.
Recently, I had the opportunity to try several of the KohGenDo products. They offer a collection of powder and liquid foundations that are all infused with botanical extracts and other great ingredients. Not only does your skin look good enough for pictures, it actual feels better. If you use it every day, the makeup helps your skin achieve a natural balance, leaving it soft, smooth and clear.
Here are just a few of the makeup products offered by KohGenDo:
- Maifanshi Face Powder - $63
- Maifanshi Natural Lighting Powder - $35
- Maifanshi Pressed Powder - $58
- Maifanshi Moisture Foundation - $60
- Aqua Foundation - $55
- Triple Lighting Foundation - $50
- Maifanshi Moisture Concealer - $42
Though the prices aren’t drugstore numbers, they aren’t unreasonable easier. The Moisture Foundation is my favorite of the products. It’s a creamy liquid foundation that comes in a tube and provides amazing coverage, while also feeling light and never oily. It reduces the appearance of large pores, covers age spots and evens out skintone. This base only comes in three shades, so you might have to mix them to get the perfect color for you.
You can get KohGenDo products at kohgendocosmetics.com, as well as Alcone, Nigel’s Beauty Emporium and Frends. Right now through the end of May, you receive a free Moisture Concealer with a purchase of $80 or more online. In addition to the makeup, they also have a skincare line, which has everything from eye gel to body lotion.
