L'Oreal RevitaLift Miracle Blur Review - A Makeup Bag Must

I'm in love with  L'Oreal Revitalift Miracle Blur Instant Skin Smoother Finishing Cream, SPF 30.  It's a year or so old but is worth revisiting.  It provides a smooth foundation for your makeup, a real life photoshop effect and an SPF of 30.

In short: LOVE it.

We do our own makeup before we hit the air on CBS11 & TXA21 and are always looking for something that makes us look ready for high definition TV.  This stuff is a great asset to any makeup bag - whether you're on TV or not.

Tracy Kornet and I reviewed it for CBSDFW.com, which you can find below.  L'Oreal suggests using it with its entire suite of their products.

I don't and it still works great.

Anchor Makeup Must-Haves

Years on-camera wearing a face full of anchor spackle has taught me a few tricks.  Talk to any television reporter or anchor (male or female) and he or she will have a tip or two you can use.

My friend and CBS11 colleague, Tracy Kornet, does a wonderful applying makeup in a way that is natural yet strong enough to withstand the harsh high-definition TV lights.  We actually had a wonderful makeup artist at our station for a while who taught us a number of secrets I'll share in the future.

Tracy and I found a moment on Thursday to gab about a few of our fabulous new makeup finds. I'm talking things we wouldn't dare consider going on-camera (or out on the town, in my case) without wearing. Interestingly enough, it's mostly about starting with a good foundation, literally, to keep your makeup in place.

Here's why these are indispensible:
