Pat McGrath Enters the Foundation Game with 36 Shades

The excitement around every Pat McGrath latest release is as loud as the colorful and richly pigmented lipsticks she's known for: Mother is entering the complexion game with the launch of Skin Fetish: Sublime Perfection foundation.

Described as her "secret to runway radiance," it's the first release in the new Pat McGrath complexion trio, which also includes the Sublime Perfection Primer and Setting Powder.

It took McGrath 25 years (!) to whip up the perfect foundation formula, which combines Vita-Serum Complex to tackle wrinkles and boost hydration and Diamond Core Powder Technology to soften and smooth the skin's texture. The artist is launching with 36 shades that fall into five different shade categories—light, light medium, medium, medium deep, and deep—all of which were tested on set, backstage at runway shows and on the runway.

With several beauty brands coming out with 40+ shade ranges, 36 might seem small to most, but Pat insists 36 is all she needs. "As a makeup artist, we know the real amount of shades that we need when we’re doing 250 girls of all nationalities," she told Bustle. "According to professionals, this is the number. This is the full amount of colors I would have in my kit if I was going to cover the world."

As for the other products launching, the Sublime Perfection Primer is a "major moisture magnet" that works to freshen up skin and provide a velvety matte base for the Sublime Perfection Foundation. Keep everything in place with the silky smooth Sublime Perfection Setting Powder, which comes in five shades to enhance the finish of your foundation.

Set your phone reminders because Pat McGrath's Skin Fetish: Sublime Foundation ($68), Primer ($60), and Setting Powder ($55) will launch on July 26 online at patmcgrath.com.

Giant Italian-Style Hoagie

Wrap entire hoagie tightly in plastic wrap, then cut crosswise into 4 even sections. (The plastic wrap acts sort of like a girdle, holding in all of the meat, cheese, and veg so that they won't fly out you slice smaller segments. It also acts as insurance in case the parchment paper gets damp.) If you're taking your sandwich out into the world, wrap again in plastic or return to bag or sleeve that bread came in to hold it all together for easy transporting.

Sour Cream Coffee Cake from The Silver Palate Cookbook

[unable to retrieve full-text content]This recipe is one of our favorites from The Silver Palate Cookbook, our February 2019 Cookbook Club pick. It’s an elegant, moist cake ideal for serving at a large brunch party (it’s worth timing to have it ready 30 minutes out of the oven) or with your morning coffee. If you don’t have pecans handy, walnuts make a great substitute.

Everything You've Ever Wanted to Know About Microneedling

For those looking to improve the look of scars, boost collagen, or encourage hair growth, microneedling can offer a minimally invasive solution. The practice dates back to 1995, but has gained significant traction in recent years thanks to new technology—and YouTube and Instagram, where the mesmerizing (albeit bloody) process stars in tens of thousands of videos. Here, dermatologist Macrene Alexiades , MD, PhD, who has published extensive research on microneedling, along with fellow Yale clinical professor and dermatologist Mona Gohara , MD demystify the multi-purpose treatment. Microneedling creates microscopic punctures in the skin. Simply put, microneedling is the insertion of very fine short needles into the skin for the purposes of rejuvenation, explains Macrene. The most popular (and cost effective) microneedling device, known as a dermaroller , is made up of micro-fine needles that range in diameter from 0.5 and 2.5 millimeters. But, if the prospect of multiple needle wounds s...
