It has been a brutal summer in the Northeast. It will probably be our second warmest July of record. We have had about 20+ plus days of 90 degree temperature. Add to that the humidity. And of course in New York City, while the subway is certainly the most convenient way to travel, the temperatures are about 15+ degrees hotter under the ground. While I may look well-groomed and coiffed when I leave my apartment, I most certainly don’t look it by the time I arrive at my destination! My make-up is melted off and my eyes are irritated from the now liquid pools that have formed on my skin! I use a minimum amount of make-up normally, and I certainly don’t like applying heavy coverage nor do I have the time to constantly be primping and re-applying! Well, the make-up goddesses must have heard my plight and taken pity on me! (Either that or I really did look that bad!) As luck would have it, I was fortunately to meet Rochelle Rae, of Rae cosmetics when she was in New York.
Rochelle, who attended the prestigious Makeup Designory in Hollywood has a well deserved reputation as a premier makeup artist and beauty entrepreneur, became frustrated with the heavy makeup prevalent in today’s market, as well as the seemingly endless trips to the mirror to reapply. She wanted, as did her clientele, a makeup that would work in real life: and would be natural and long lasting to support real women and their active lifestyles.
After two years of research, design and careful attention to every detail Rochelle introduced Rae cosmetics; a fresh and versatile mineral make up line designed for active women and athletes looking for performance as well as beauty from their cosmetics. Pharmaceutical grade minerals and powders are oil-free, fragrance-free, won’t clog pores and are approved for use after treatments, such as microdermabrasion, peels and cosmetic surgery. Rae cosmetics were designed to work with all skin tones and types, including the most sensitive.
The line consists of face, eyes, lips, blush and bronzers as well as brushes and tools. Based out of Austin, Texas (and they really know hot down there!!), her line is readily available throughout the great Lone State. For those of us outside, she is rapidly expanding.
