Disco Diva, the new Grammy Classic

By Laura Medina

Despite the Grammy issuing a new dress code on nipple slips and butt dips, people tune into the Grammys for what's rockin', what's hot, and ok, let face it, what's sexy.

It's not sexy unless your figure...and skin are in good health.

A flawless complexion is a good foundation to build up sexy, especially if it's going to be on display, make it their while to put it on display.

A good foundation to build upon sexy is a worthy BB Cream, a shield of foundation against the elements and the popping flash bulbs, and an arsenals of primers with benefits.  These BB creams and primers are an adult woman's best buddies.  You're mature. You earned your sexiness, now own it.

For an air-brushed/photoshopped complexion in a flash, pat on SMASHBOX CAMERA READY BB CREAM BROAD SPECTRUM SPF 35.

Smashbox, cosmetics specifically made for the halogen spotlights, put out an array of primers to tackle all sorts of blemishes: 

PHOTO FINISH MORE THAN PRIMER DARK SPOT CORRECTING is this scribe's fave.  It fills in the "zit pits" aka acne scars (traumatized during the tween years then again as an adult) while C-Phyte Complex lightening the dark spots as it brightens the complexion.

PHOTO FINISH FOUNDATION PRIMER BROAD SPECTRUM SPF 20 WITH DERMAXYL COMPLEX: Prime, protect, correct, and prevent in just one step...without the pigmentation. This anti-aging primer creates the perfect canvas for foundation application. Worn alone or under foundation, this unique formula helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and pores for visibly softer skin. SPF 20 helps guard against harmful UVA/UVB rays. Winner of Allure Magazine Best of Beauty Editor's Choice Award for Best Primer. 

 JUMBO PHOTO FINISH FOUNDATION PRIMER: For those already hooked on primer as a speedy skincare and coverage, you can get more from this extra-value sized primer packed with the essential vitamins A and E, grape seed extract and green tea, the silky formula minimizes lines for a velvety-smooth complexion. Wear alone or with foundation to increase wear.

For a Seventies' Disco Diva smoldering look with 21st century standing-power, Smashbox's velvety-smooth Photo Op Eye Shadow formula in 6 hi-res hues gives you that smudgy but smoldering eyes gives people that impression you've been dancing the night away at the Grammy after-parties, instead of covering midnight runway shows.  Either way, it makes looking an hot mess even better.

Image Factory Airblush Whipped Cheek in Berry Bliss is the best-textured mousse-whipped, light-as-air mousse blush.  This little pot delivers an impact of rich berry color for that streaky, chiseled cheekbone look and there is still enough left over to dab onto the lips to build a matte berry-red lip which makes a great matte lip base for...

These pair of ultra-luxurious and decadent, thick Image Factory Lip Enchancing Glosses in thick, caramel Chic for that drenching nude lip or a vampy but rich Luxe.  Both impart a rich opaque coverage and thick color that you really don't need lipstick.

This is how you get your Disco Diva on.
