CELEBRITY LOOKS - My top 3 picks!




Celebrity Gossip

Hollywood News

For many reasons, Charlize Theron strikes me as one of the most beautiful, poised and elegant women in Hollywood. I have always admired her natural beauty.

For special occasions, I LOVE to recreate this look on women with her soft porcelain skin tone (and yes, YOU CAN and SHOULD wear red lipstick!)

When it comes to foundation, nothing beats the MOTIVES LIQUID POWDER MINERAL FOUNDATION. It contains SPF-15, primer and multi-mineral oil-free hydrating complex. It sets lightly and beautifully. A must try!

For all the fair ladies out there, the LINEN foundation will work perfectly!

As for Charlize's soft blush color, nothing else other that the MOTIVES blush/bronzer duo will do the trick! It is soft, subtly bronzing and adds an iridescent glow to the cheekbone. This duo is so perfect and versatile. Use the pink cheek on its own or combined. You can even opt to use the darker shade to contour your cheek area to project a more defined look. I even have a client who uses the product colors dusted over her eyes as eyeshadow color. SUPER! So many options. Now for recreating Charlize Theron's eyes, look for the FIRE RED color in my selection of lipsticks. This will duplicate the look Charlize Theron is sporting.

For the beautiful eyeshadow color she is wearing, use RED EARTH . SInce the pigment of our eyeshadows are so intense, only a slight bit of color is necessary for the subtle look Charlize has. With a sponge tip applicator, smudge the color all the way around upper and lower eyelid. Add a thin line of liquid eyeliner very close to eyelashes on upper eyelid as well for a more intense and dramatic eye. Add a highlighter such as CREME FRESH to get the glow where the brow bone is. You can even add a dabble to the inner corner of the eye. This is especially useful for those with close set eyes.

Then be sure to load on this unique, clump-free, lash extending MASCARA!




Jennifer Lopez has such great features!

The late Kevin Aucoin had once mentioned that the celebrity had the most perfect symmetrical facial structure. It was obvious Jennifer was a favourite canvas for displaying his uttermost makeup artistry talent. After all, her picture was displayed on the cover of one of his published books and was always displayed at least once in the rest of his publications.

This particular picture I love. The eyeshadow colors compliment her eye color. What is even more striking is that her nude and neutral lipstick color allows the focus to be on her eyes and makes them stand out even more. An excellent makeup application technique to use for more dramatic eyes.

Her foundation is the VANILLA CREAM tone that will suit the more hispanic skin tones. She uses a concealer afterwards to help even out her skin tone and to create a perfect base for eyeshadow application.


Don't forget to powder the eyes with a sponge using a LUMINESCENT POWDER . This is a makeup trick of mine to PREVENT CAKING OF YOUR EYE MAKEUP in the creases of your eye (and yes, those subtle character lines we can also call "wrinkles"). It is amazing at how the powder brightens the eye area!

Now, eyeshadow colors. This is easy. Apply a VANILLA base, then in the crease of the eye, work in the ENCHANTING color. Blend, blend, blend. Apply the color as well in outer corners and on 2/3 of the upper eyelid and 1/3 of lower eyelid. Smudge nicely on lower eyelid. VERY little of the eyeshadow is needed as the pigment is so concentrated.The brow bone should be luminated by CREME FRESH .

EYELINER is the one and only LUXE PRECISION eye liner. Liquid eyeliner made 5X easier. Imagine that! A felt tip pen that allows you to line the eyes with great precision.


Blush color to use is the MIAMI GLOW bronzer . Again, so versatile as it has many uses.


For her lips, use HALF'n HALF lipstick color. This is my favourite lipstick color and looks good on just about anyone. Compliment with the NUDE lipliner.


Let's not also forget that Jennifer Lopez is wearing artificial eyelashes to make eyes appear larger and sexier. Check out the false eyelash selection here .

Not sure how to apply false eyelashes? Here is my guide to exactly how to make this happen.Black mascara to finish everything off! VOILA!
