Lena Korres at Sephora!


Our favorite Greek skincare goddess was stateside last week, promoting Korres' new color line! Lena Korres (left) stopped by Sephora Times Square and Sephora Soho, where her team was giving free color consultations, amidst the DJ rocking out and balloons floating everywhere ... party, party! It's honestly tough to pick the best products out of this color line; they're all impressive. The moisturizing, tinted lip butters, and cedar wood eyeliner pencils, and water-based liquid foundation ... sigh. (Fun fact: The Korres girls made that makeup box, pictured, out of a box they bought at a Soho art store. Clever!) The new Korres Discovery Kit was quite the buzz too—a limited-edition 6-piece set with Korres Deep Colour Mascara, Cherry Lip Gloss, Shimmering Eye Shadow in Sheer Gold, and Soft Eyeliner Pencils, all in a reusable makeup bag. One of the Korres artists, Kerri, taught us a cool trick: Use the Eye Shadow in 22S Orange as a bronzer/illuminater on your cheekbones, not just on the eyes. It really works. A baby bronzer! And, since we caught Ms. Korres on the first day of spring, it had to be asked: What are her can't-live-without products for spring? The Yogurt Mask and Yoghurt Cooling Gel, she said, which are both uber-hydrating and soothing on winter-worn skin. "They're both great for skin that's dry and dehydrated this time of year. Very moisturizing!" Next up for Korres: A brand-spankin'-new store in Brooklyn Heights, opening soon. We'll keep you posted! —Jessica Anderson
