A diamond necklace and more…

The makeup-and-skin care experts at Physicians Formula want to make sure everyone feels “sexy, smart and radiant” this summer with a Facebook contest for a chance to win a diamond necklace valued at over $3,400, plus Random Prizes of full size Physicians Formula’s best-selling products. All you have to do it tell them your personal sexy, smart tips to look glowing and radiant. For inspiration, there are Pro-Tips from top celebrity makeup artist, Joanna Schlip, and leading NYC- dermatologist, Dr. Meghan O’Brien.

The contest is going on now until September 23rd, 2012. Once on the Physicians Formula Facebook, you simply need to click on the sexy, smart and radiant tab and follow simple submission steps which include sharing personalized sexy, smart and radiant makeup and/or skin tips or a photo that demonstrates their sexy, smart and radiant look and recommendations.

Among the tips offered up for inspiration by tips from Joanna and Dr. O’Brien are -

Embrace highlighter – Don’t be intimated to put the spotlight on you by calling attention to your best features! – Makeup artist, Joanna Schlip

Go sheer – as the weather warms up, look for sheerer, more translucent shades of favorite, go-to hues! – Makeup artist, Joanna Schlip

Removing makeup is just as important as makeup when it comes to keeping summer skin radiant-looking. Invest in a good, yet gentle and non-comedogenic makeup remover. This removes all traces of pore-clogging makeup, dirt and oil. – Makeup artist, Joanna Schlip

Double duty cleansing is a must – In addition to cleansing 2x a day, if you have oily skin, only use moisturizer at night and switch to a lighter formulation in the summertime. – Dr. Meghan O’Brien

Spend 5 minutes at least once a week by standing in front of a full length mirror and checking for new spots, moles and marks that have changed in shape or form. – Dr. Meghan O’Brien

The best part of this whole thing is that even if we don’t win the diamond necklace, Physicians Formula not only offers great quality products, but they’ve got a ton of under $10 buys.
