Dewy is the new Matte


Those of you whose fall begins in September and October have a jump on those of us in states where cooler weather doesn't even breeze in til November. You're enjoying the deeper shades and matte makeup of autumn while we're still peering into our summer bags for our peachy-pink lipgloss.

But this little number just may bridge the beauty gap for all of us: Clinique's new Blushwear Cream Stick, part of their new "Modern Matte" line for Fall 2008. It goes on like a cream (i.e., it's blendable) and dries like a powder. The shades are just light enough for LA and just deep enough for New York, with a color called "Glow" that's great for an all-over bronzing effect.

For those of you still fanning yourselves in the heat, it's a great way to cozy up to fall -- and at less than $20, it's far less expensive than a leaf-peeping vacation.
