THREE CUSTOM COLOR SPECIALISTS introduces FAVORITES LIP GLOSS PALETTE
A collection of 10 unique and beautiful shades from 10 unique and beautiful women who know what they want and how to get it.
NEW YORK, April 29, 2002 - Inspired by the unprecedented success of their individual "Favorites" lip colors, Trae Bodge and Chad Hayduk, the mad scientists at Three Custom Color Specialists created a palette of custom-made colors to honor some of their favorite women. The result: Favorites Lip Gloss Palette, a collection of gorgeous tints that is as colorful as the women the colors personify, an eclectic mix of the industry's movers and shakers, trendsetters, makeup artists and actresses that represent all ages and races.
ON THE SCENE
#1 "Lynore's Favorite" - Lynore Routte - Jewelry and Accessories Designer
This up-and-comer's head-turning jewelry and studded denim aprons and bags are coveted by the hip hop and boho set alike. Lynore's designs have been seen in Missy Elliot's "Get Yer Freak On" video, worn incessantly by Andre Benjamin of Outkast, and featured in countless fashion magazines. Reflecting her luminous persona, "Lynore's Favorite" is a twinkling glossy beige sprinkled with flecks of gold, green, and red.
#2 "Simona's Favorite" - Simona Liberman - New York Beauty Publicist
As a publicist in the beauty biz, Simona has makeup galore at her fingertips. But try as she might, Simona just couldn't find a shade to call her favorite. So Simona turned to her friends at Three Custom Color Specialists who knew what to do. Trae took a bit of hot pink, swirled in a little bit of ice crystal shimmer and came up with a sparkling watermelon wash that brought a smile to Simona's face.
#3 "Ji's Favorite" - Ji Baek - Owner, Rescue Nail Spa
Before Ji Baek nailed the manicure and pedicure industry, she spent most of the day on her feet running a restaurant. Back then, pedicures were a necessity to keeping her feet in tip-top shape, and that's when Ji noticed there was a real need for a place devoted to ultra-pampering pedicures and manicures. Inspired, she signed up for beauty school to learn the business, and soon filled the need with Rescue Nail Spa where today everyone from celebrities to the social-elite flock to get their tootsies treated. Ji teamed up with Trae to create "Ji's Favorite" - a lavender-pink gloss with an opalescent shimmer that keeps Ji's lips in tip top shape!
#4 "HipGuide" Favorite - Syl Tang - Founder, HipGuide
For HipGuide CEO Syl Tang, being chic is part of her job description. In search of the "it" lip color for all her photo ops, Syl teamed up with Trae to create her signature shade. Aptly titled "HipGuide," Syl's shade is a rich burgundy gloss with swirls of dazzling red shimmer that goes on sheer or opaque, and looks perfect on every skin tone.
BEHIND THE SCENES (Makeup Artists)
#5 "Naomi's Favorite" - Naomi Donne
Award-winning makeup artist for stage and screen, Naomi's work has been seen in "The Royal Tenenbaums," " Zoolander," and "Chocolat," and the stage productions of "AIDA," "The Sweet Smell of Success," and "The Graduate." Naomi's talent will be showcased in the upcoming film "Duplex," starring Ben Stiller and Drew Barrymore. "Naomi's Favorite" was inspired by the look she created for Juliette Binoche in "Chocolat." Naomi teamed up with Chad to create "Naomi's Favorite" - a rich berry stain that imparts a sensuous, healthy look.
#6 "Rebecca's Favorite" - Rebecca Restrepo for Contact, NY
Rebecca's makeup "artwork" has been seen in fashion editorials and on celebrity faces around the globe. Now her very own lip color will be seen on a "celebrity near you," as "Rebecca's Favorite" is a bright, cheery coral that she created with Chad that looks good on film and off. Dab it on the lips or cheeks for an instant flush of freshness.
#7 "Babette's Favorite" - Babette Crowder
With a successful beauty boutique in Lawrence, Kansas, and a thriving career as a makeup artist, you'd think Babette wouldn't want for anything. Not so! This fiery redhead thinks pink is so pretty, but it looks anything but when it's on her lips. Now thanks to Chad she's created the perfect fusion of pink and coral, "Babette's Favorite" is finally "pretty in pink!"
STAGE AND SCREEN
#8 "Kristin's Favorite" - Kristin Chenoweth (Broadway Star)
When Tony Award-winner Kristin Chenowith isn't wowing audiences on stage in productions like "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown," or on t.v. in shows like "Frasier", this Broken Arrow, Oklahoma native is busy exploring the Big Apple. Known for her distinctive voice (it gets her recognized in supermarkets and airports nationwide), it seems only fitting that "Kristin's Favorite", created with Chad, is just as distinct: cherry-apple red infused with a light dusting of shimmer gold.
#9 "Ines' Favorite" - Ines Rivero (Model)
Argentinian beauty Ines Rivero has taken the fashion industry by storm since becoming the only Latin model to ever appear as a Victoria's Secret "Angel." To complement her striking looks, Trae whipped her up a beautiful blend of exotic tints that resemble a rich, South American sunset. The result: "Ines' Favorite", a super sheer, creamy burnt orange.
#10 "Sophisticated" Favorite - Jamie-Lynn Sigler (Actress)
Before making waves as Tony Soprano's fiery daughter "Meadow" on HBO's runaway hit "Sopranos," Jamie-Lynn Sigler was making them in the theater and in the classroom, showing promise in both. In fact, Jamie-Lynn's been practicing for this role since the age of 3, when she asked to be enrolled in dancing school. Always mature for her age, it's no wonder that the color she created with Trae - a "Sophisticated" sheer deep red, scattered with bits of copper.
Favorites Lip Gloss Palette is available for $53.50, and
all 10 gorgeous Favorites shades are also available individually for $18.50ea.
