Global — Who isn't on an eternal quest to find the perfect makeup? Whether it's long-lasting lipstick or flawless finish foundation, we can't get enough of the beauty prodcts that make us look and feel good. Recently, I had the most amazing opportunity to gather a group of agents and get acquainted with the brand called Motives, which happens to be a fave of starlets including Jennifer Lopez and Eva Longoria. They even have a line of products in collaboration with actress Lala Anthony, who is married to NBA player Carmelo Anthony.
When I first heard about the brand and their unique service of custom blend foundations and powders, I was ecstatic. I've been searching for a loose powder that would give me light coverage and a natural finish. Until my Motives representative Jessie of jvnsglamour.com custom blended a powder for me, I hadn't found one that didn't either make me look dusty and dull or like a ripe orange. Now don't get me wrong, orange is my fave color, just not for my face!

But I digress. The rep visited my headquarters, bringing a cornucopia of beauty goodies. She brought the cosmetic counter to us! For two plus hours, she gave me and my agents makeovers and educated us on choosing makeup that worked for each of our skin tones and complexions. At the end of her informative consultaion, I wanted to try almost everything and coudn't resist indulging myself with a few products including the custom blend loose powder and Kabuki brush for application; the Perfect Face Primer that has a silky texture, making it a great canvas for applying my powder. I also tried the khol eyeliner in Sterling Silver (a graphite color) and invested in a pair of faux eyelashes to wear on special occasions.
The loose powder, which has become an ultimate favorite of mine already, is mineral based and comes in an uber chic square acrylic container. I watched as it was custom blended with tonal base and highlight powders with monikers like Sandstone, Amber, and Jade. I also requested a smidge of bronzer in my powder. Also blended in were SPF and moisturizer, in powder formula of course, with an option of sheer, medium, or full coverage. It was medium for me!
