Sustainable beauty

I'm not sure which is better, seeing "Made in USA by Ferro Cosmetics Buffalo NY" on the bottom of the containers, or the look of the mineral foundations on my skin. Move over bareMinerals, our own Krissy Ferro has created a make-up line that that is good for the skin and practically invisible to detect. Mineral-based foundation is, in general, a make-up miracle, like waterproof mascara and Helena Rubenstein's first salon. Now Ferro produces a Radiance Foundation that reflects light, an Ultimate Foundation that focuses on imperfections, and a variety of veils that can give you the finish you want, from sparkle to dewy (go for the Crystal Mineral Veil) to illuminating to matte. She has also created an extensive line of bronzers, blushers, and eye shadows.

"Don't bother sending eye shadow," I told the Ferro rep. "They never seem to impress as much as the foundations and bronzers."

"Maybe we can convince you to change your mind," the rep replied, and they did. Eye Candy in Vegas Tan-now, how can I put this-lets someone like me wear gold glitter without looking like one of my kids played beauty salon on my face. It's subtle, it covers, and it shimmers. How? I don't know. That's not my business. It's Krissy's, and we are lucky to have her. Spread the word. Ferro is a member of the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics.

FERRO COSMETICS was one of several eco-friendly skin care products distributed during the launch party for the Green Room, a design showcase featuring innovative, sustainable products exhibited at the New York Design Center.

CSI: Miami actress Boti Bliss, singers Aubrey O'Day and D. Woods of Danity Kane, Paris Hilton look-alike impersonator Natalie Reid, actresses and models Fernanda Romero and Candace Kita, and DJ Shy were among those treated to Ferro Cosmetics at Thirteen Minutes Magazine's Remixed Release Party and Fashion Show in LA.
