Jul 24, 2012 >> Battle of the Coasts! Jouer Cosmetics picks the perfect summer look for East and West.

We can’t get enough of Jouer Cosmetics. Now that the LA-based beauty brand can be found at Nordstrom Michigan Avenue, we’ve got even more reason to stroll the beauty department during our lunch break. But beauty takes brains and Jouer has plenty of both. The concept is simple: mix and match your colors and products to create the perfect palette. It’s sort of like the big 80’s eye shadow palettes you used to get in your Christmas stocking. But Jouer’s way is sleek and modern—and totally customizable. Pick your products, snap together for a large palette or unsnap to just grab the items you need (or whatever will fit in your evening clutch).

Now, we have lots of faith in our Glossed & Found readers (after all, the reason we’re cool is because you’re cool) but we decided to dial in one more favor from Jouer National Make Up Artist Neil Scibelli to give us his opinion on the perfect summer palette based off of their bi-coastal lip glosses for the season. Are you a Hamptons gal in a playfully sheer tangerine or a Malibu chick in a kickin’ fuchsia? Neil builds each palette just for G&F.

Go ahead. Jot them down. Run to Nordstrom. And start creating that effortless summer look even if we are coastless.

Matte touch // SPF 39 Replenish & Protect Hydrating face powder  // Caramel powder eye shadow // Champagne Highlighter // Suntan Powder Bronzer (and Neil’s tip: you can also lightly dust as an eyeshadow in crease)

PERFECT PALETTE No. 2 // Malibu (pictured above left)
SPF 39 Replenish & Protect Hydrating face powder // SPF 39 Bronzer Perfect Tan // Pink champagne eye shadow // Parfait shadow (in crease) // Camellia Highlighter // Petal cheek tint
