Nicole Paxson, heiress to the Home Shopping Network fortune would seem to have a perfect life right? Money can buy anything. However, when Nicole was 12 years old she came down with Lupus which made her extremely self-conscious due to the “red-butterfly” rash on her face among its other symptoms. This has inspired her new full-coverage makeup line that is the perfect product to cover scars, acne, spider veins, discoloration and stretch marks.

It’s also water resistant, which is super-cool. I tried the foundation and it did not want to come off when I washed my face. You could wear it in the ocean or in a pool. My favorite product is the crème to powder foundation. I tested it in Las Vegas and it didn’t make my face dry like my Chanel crème to powder foundation. The skin pudding is the best coverage for marks and scars on your body that you want covered when wearing revealing clothes or bathing suits.

The line is also more natural than other makeup lines and contains sunscreen, though I would suggest always wearing an additional sunscreen under makeup for maximum protection. The line consists of a concealing stick, shine-control powder, and highlighting skin bronzer as well. Hollywood actresses like Christina Millian , Sharon Stone and even some A-list makeup artists are also fans of the line. Nicole donates a percentage of all sales to Lupus related charities.
