Spotlight on Success: Beauty & Fragrance Director

When it comes to backstage beauty, few rule the scene behind the velvet curtain like Nordstrom Beauty and Fragrance Director, Cheri Botiz.

We connected with this VIP to learn her trend forecast for Fall 2011, check out her fave picks:

Metal Rush shined all over the catwalk. Platinum is the new natural and shades of copper are the accents.  At Derek Lam, blended metallic shadows were used to create an exaggerated cat eye shape that extended slightly towards the temples.
Nordstrom Product Picks: Chanel Illusion D’Ombre Long Wear Luminous Eyeshadow in Illusoire ($36), Chantecaille Classic Palette ($85), Nars Larger Than Life Longwear Eyeliner in Via Veneto ($23), Smashbox Full Exposure Mascara in Jet Black ($19)

Runway Red lips ruled the catwalk. Red lips are the ultimate statement-making accessory. There is a red for everyone from bold Bordeaux’s to bright tomatoes and sheer cherries.
Nordstrom Product Picks: Guerlain Rouge Automatique Lip Colour ($35), Nars Velvet Matte Lipstick Pencil ($24), Chanel Rouge Coco Hydrating Crème Lip Colour($32), Dior ‘Rouge Dior’ Lip Color ($32)

Hollywood Glow is always in season. Achieve radiant and revitalized skin by using a skincare brush, followed by a serum and moisturizer. Make sure to choose a foundation with an advanced formula, lightweight texture and all day coverage.
Nordstrom Product Picks: Dr. Gross Alpha Beta Glow Pads ($32), Clarisonic Mia Skincare Brush ($149), Bobbi Brown Bronze Shimmer Brick Compact ($39), Exclusive Smashbox Glambox Luxe Mettalics set ($68. A $190 value), Dior ‘Capture Totale-One Essential’ Eye Serum ($75)

Perfectly Polished Nails continue to be the hottest accessory. Almond shaped nails with metallics, deep grays, reds or blacks complement the cooler weather. Two-toned nails are also popping up. Paint a moon shape of one color at the base of the nail and another color on the rest.
