INDIAN SUMMER SOLUTIONS

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) August 13, 2003 -- Boston, MA � August 2003 � Labor Day traditionally marks the end of summer. However, warm weather often extends well into the fall creating the phenomenon known as �Indian Summer.� As welcome as the warm weather is, it leaves many women wondering what to keep and what to toss from their summer makeup ensembles. Debra Macki, Boston�s most sought-after professional makeup artist offers her tips on extending your summer look into fall.

�Making the transition from summer to fall shouldn�t wreak havoc on your makeup bag,� explains Debra. �Now is the time to experiment and breathe new life into the colors you wore all summer. By mixing and matching different shades, you can create a whole new palette that will bring you well into the fall.�



Following are some of Debra�s tips to take you from summer into fall:



Cheeky Keen: Extend the life of your tan into fall with a bronzer. Try Debra�s CHEEKY, a silky-smooth bronzing powder that can be used on the face and body. Not a sun-worshipper? Use it to create a natural-looking faux glow. SRP: $20. Give cheeks a super fast sun-kissed flush with Debra�s blushes in FAME, a golden honey or ZEAL, a glistening peach. SRP: $22 each.

Lip Service: Fall calls for rich plums and sultry reds. Debra�s EGOISTE, a lush, brick red and STARDOM, a deep plum are two sheer fall lipstick must-haves. SRP: $16 each. Layer your favorite summer gloss over either color for long-lasting lips or make lips super shiny with Debra�s glosses in CRYSTAL (clear) or SUPERMODEL (an iridescent clear). SRP: $16 each.



Eye Spy: Smoldering eyes are all the rage this fall. However, this year�s twist: the smoky black eye has been replaced by bold blues and purples. Try Debra�s MATERIAL GIRL, a sparkling, denim blue or AMBITION, a subtle, shimmering purple. SRP: $19 each. Pair each shadow with a matching eye pencil for the ultimate smoky look. MIDNIGHT BLUE, a rich, navy blue compliments MATERIAL GIRL to a T. VINTAGE, a soft, shimmering purple pencil works well with AMBITION. SRP: $14 each.
