Get a winning look with Color by Cynde Watson

If you feel you may be due for a New Year's makeover, why not pencil in Color by Cynde Watson? With this season's "fresh face" look, the focus is on the natural radiant glow of your skin. Nude tones reign in Watson's collection, and her easy and novel pencil-based approach yields stunning results!

More than 15 years ago, the pageant queen (Miss New Jersey, 1992) and model moved behind the scenes of the beauty business, doing makeup and styling at photo shoots. Angela Bassett, Anika Noni Rose, and Queen Latifah are just a few of the glamour girls whom Watson is credited with beautifying. Watson eventually became the executive director of global makeup artistry and education for Bobbi Brown Cosmetics. She was also the lead consultant and makeup pro at Mark/Avon Cosmetics before branching out on her on with the Color by Cynde Watson cosmetics line.

Color by Cynde Watson is available only via Home Shopping Network and its Web site. The must-have item in the collection is the Camouflage Face Pencil Kit, which features four dual-ended color pencils for everything from foundation to blush. Other items we like: the Balance & Brighten Concealer Pencil, which covers dark shadows and balances uneven skin; and the Bronzer/Highlighter Pencil, which imparts a sun-kissed look.

Don't worry about mastering the technique; step-by-step information is included. Depending on your skin tone, your palette is the warm or cool version of Beige (light complexion), Sand (medium complexion), or Brown (dark complexion). Each kit includes a pencil sharpener and chic espresso leatherette pencil case!

Now, write that name down!
