Ultimate Beauty Tips From Michael Kors

Ultimate Beauty Tips From Michael Kors

Michael Kors unveiled a cosmetics line for the first time this fall. Here, he shares what inspired his collection, and his best beauty tips

The luxe-sportswear designer Michael Kors is known for sending models down the runway with a straight-from-the-Caribbean glow. . .one that he himself often possesses as well. So launching a line of bronzers and gilded body products was a no-brainer for the designer—only Kors didn't stop there. He created lip products, nail polishes, and a trio of scents to fit a very Kors-like style—one that's sporty, sexy, glam, and, of course, always sun-kissed. "Healthy skin is the foundation," says Kors. "You look rested—like you just got back from vacation."

Beyond that, though, it's not about finding one signature beauty look, he explains. "You can play around and channel your feelings." While you're playing, keep Kors's top beauty tricks in mind.

1/ Make Your Bronze Believable
"Use a powder brush to apply bronzer in small circular motions over your cheekbones, temples, and nose," says Kors. Try his Bronze Powder Brush ($45). Kors developed three shades of bronzer: The rosy hue of Flush is for the light-complected; the tawny hues in Glow (shown) complement medium skin tones; and the deep-copper Glam suits dark complexions ($50 each).

2/ Signature Scents
"Fragrance can completely change how you feel," says Kors, explaining why he created a scent for each makeup line. "I approached fragrance the same way I approach clothes," noting that his fashion collections include sporty, sexy, and glam designs. As with clothing, mixing up your scent lets a woman "go from a morning of shopping to a night out." From left: warm Sexy Amber, exotic Glam Jasmine, and zesty Sporty Citrus ($95 each for 3.4 oz).

3/ Don't Go Overboard!
Look sexy without gobs of makeup. "It should enhance your own beauty, not cover you up," says Kors. One tasteful trifecta: a golden glow paired with fiery tips and lips. "Red is the color of passion—and that's timeless," says Kors. Try Liquid Shimmer Dry Oil Spray ($60), Sexy Nail Lacquer in Sensation ($18), and Sexy Lip Luster in Siren ($24).

4/ Cutivate A Lip Wardrobe
Experimenting with a fresh lipstick shade can switch up your look instantly. "Having a few lipsticks in your bag turns you into a quick-change artist," Kors says. Feel like going understated? Swipe on a nude like Sporty Lip Lacquer in Diva ($24). If you're aiming for elegance, try a dark plum such as Glam Lip Lacquer in Dame ($24, above). "It channels Old Hollywood glamour."
