NARS Cosmetics used on MAD MEN Set
Lana Horochowski, Department Head of Makeup for Mad Men, loves using NARS on the cast-members of Mad Men. “I love, love, LOVE the NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencils because they are long-lasting and give that perfect matte finish that is so authentic to the time period,” says Lana. “In the past, we used mostly cream cheek color because that was used in the period. Since powder blush was invented in 1963, we were finally able to throw it in for this season!” Below are details on what Lana has used to create the looks for January Jones’ Betty Draper and Christina Hendricks’ Joan Harris. Please let me know if you have any questions and be sure to tune in this season to see the classic makeup looks that Lana continues to perfect with NARS!
Betty Draper (January Jones):
“January’s character Betty wears NARS Madrague Duo Eyeshadow in almost every scene when she is at home. “It’s a staple,” explains Lana, “but when she goes out, we spice it up with color.” To add emphasis to her eyes, Lana adds NARS Heart Of Glass Eyeshadow. For her lips, she uses NARS Calliope Velvet Matte Lip Pencil and NARS Belle de Jour Velvet Matte Lip Pencil. “I also love Barbarella Lipstick on January because it’s perfect for her every day look.” For blush, try NARS Penny Lane Cream Blush, NARS Gueule de Nuit Cream Blush, and NARS Gilda Powder Blush!
Joan Holloway (Christina Hendricks):
“For Christina’s sexy Joan I love the bold colors of NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencils in Dolce Vita, Red Square, Sex Machine, and Forbidden Red.” Lana also uses NARS Heat Wave Lipstick and NARS Jungle Red Lipstick! For her eyes, she uses NARS Madrague Duo Eyeshadow and NARS Fez and Bali Single Eyeshadows. “With Christina's peaches and cream complexion” Lana explains, “she looks great in NARS Gueule de Nuit Cream Blush, as well as NARS Dolce Vita, Gilda, and Gina Powder Blush.”

Kiehl's Imperial Body Balm
Treat your skin good this winter. Snow flurries are in the forecast for my area today and tomorrow which means winter is officially here...bring on the dry skin.
I moisturize every morning after my shower. I'm constantly trying new lotions and potions, trying to find the ones that keep my skin smooth all day...
A body balm that I am extremely impressed with is Kiehl's Imperial Body Balm. This body balm looks like a huge tub of butter! It's thick, bright yellow in color, and is lightly scented (light cocoa-honeyish scent).
It's super thick and goes on smooth. It takes a few more seconds than normal lotion to rub in, but to me, that means its working extra hard. Here are some other fun facts about this balm:

- Deeply hydrates, regenerates, and comforts extremely dry, lackluster skin
- Accelerates cell turnover with Honey and Fruit Glycolic Acids to immediately reveal a new skin softness and radiance
- High levels of antioxidant-rich butters help protect skin from environmental damage
