Ok so, I’m hear to lift the lid off one of the best kept makeup secrets in Hollywood- Gerda Spillman skin care and cosmetics. I was first introduced to these products by Hollywood makeup artist Kim Borio ( have you been listening to her Beauty radio broadcasts?- they’re chock full of beauty info!- www.healthylife.net every Thursday at 12:00 p.m to 1:00 p.m Pacific Standard Time -8:00 pm-9 pm UK time)This Swiss product lines clients are so super star A-list that I am not even allowed to mention their names in this article BUT I can tell you that the makeup artists on the set of such TV shows as American Idol and Prison Break and hit movies like Transformers, Ironman and the Notebook all use Gerda Spillman products.

I only have one name for their bio- foundation which is a mineral based cream - INCREDIBLE. I have never used a product where it was so thin and light but still gave great coverage with a natural finish. It helps protect from UVA and UVB rays. It’s also waterproof but since it’s a mineral based cosmetic it allows the skin to breath AND for all of you who have been reading about me raving on about HDTV TV-this is an ideal product as it’s so sheer it leaves an appearance of a second skin rather than makeup sitting on top of the face. It comes in great shades for the palest to the blackest of skin tone. Bio-foundation was twice voted foundation of the year; I’m not surprised-it really is one of this year’s great beauty finds.
