Get Her Look: Vera Farmiga at 'Up In the Air' Premiere

makeup artist Tina Turnbow gave actress Vera Farmiga a simple, yet still gorgeous, look for the los angeles premiere of her new film, "Up In the Air" (also starring George Clooney, swoon).

Tina says: "Vera's look was simple glamour: her dress was ephemeral– a white, almost grecian Dolce & Gabbana, and i wanted her makeup look to shine forth her beautiful features, while keeping that simple, effortless air."

using mostly natural makeup, Tina shares how she created the look:

face:

Tina Says: "Vera has a beautiful, fair complexion, so i kept it simple – with a lightweight foundation and finished with a light, rosy blush."

foundation: Almay Pure Blends Mineral Makeup in Fair - "i love that this foundation is 97.4% natural."

blush: Revolution Organics Freedom Glow Beauty Balm in Blushed - "it's a beautiful cream stick that creates very natural-looking rosy cheeks."- and Mineral Fusion Blush in Trace, "a soft, baby pink to highlight cheek bones."

powder: Tarte Provocateur SPF 8 Pressed Mineral Powder & Compact in Fair

eyes:

Tina says:"i kept the eyes nude, with a bit of pearly shimmer smudged on the lids and beautiful lush lashes. it was also important that her brows were defined and framed her face."

eyeshadow: Jane Iredale Liquid Eyeliner in Silver (smudged on lids)

lashes: Origins Full Story Lush Lash Mascara

brows: Clarins Pro Palette Eyebrow Kit. "this all-in-one kit has everything i need to create the perfect brows – from highlighter to powders to even a holding wax to groom them brows."


lips:

lip prep: Korres Guava Lip Butter to prep lips "offers creamy hydration and is a great primer for lipcolor."

lipstick: ZUZU Luxe Lipstick in Vino D'amour


Tina finished Vera's look with ARCONA Lavender Hydrating Mist "to set the makeup and give a little finishing glow"

review: Korres Jasmine Lip Butter

i admit, i'm a lip product junkie. i always have to have something on my lips, even of i'm just going to bed. it's not that bad of a habit-- my lips are always soft. :) so, of course, when Korres sent me their Jasmine Lip Butter to try, i was ecstatic!

i've known that Korres made fabulous products, and this Lip Butter didn't disappoint. natural ingredients like shea butter and rice wax have been keeping my lips moisturized and feeling good-- just like the packaging said it would. Jasmine is a light pink shade that goes on sheer, and is perfect on its own or over another lipcolor.



Korres Lip Butter is available in 6 other colors-- Mango (sheer peach), Guava (clear), Pomegranate (sheer coral), Quince (sheer rose), 27 Plum (sheer lavender berry), and Wild Rose (sheer deep red)-- and can also be worn as a cheek stains. Jasmine and Guava may not work out so well in that department though, ha!

visit Korresusa.com to order some of these fabulous Lip Butters, and anything else your beauty-loving hearts desire, and receive 30% off your purchase when you use code BEAUTYGIRL at checkout! this offer is good until september 15 and cannot be combined with any other offers-- happy shopping!

Emily Deschanel at Arcona Launch Party for Book, Eco-Beautiful

makeup artist Spencer Barnes gave Emily Deschanel a fresh, glowing look for her attendance at wednesday night's ARCONA launch party for Eco-Beautiful: A Guide to Natural Beauty & Wellness authored by celebrity makeup artist Lina Hanson. the event was held at Vie Eco Boutique in west hollywood and featured ARCONA mini facials, as well as eco-friendly makeovers (sounds so divine, doesn't it...?).

Spencer played up Emily's gorgeous sea green eyes by creating a subtle smoky, yet luminous, look. he kept the rest of her face neutral and fresh, with a hint of a raspberry cheek and sheer raspberry shimmer on her lips. the overall look was inspired by Emily's vibrant vintage dress and her own natural, glowing skin.

here's how how the look was achieved:

skin: Spencer prepped Emily's skin by first cleansing it with ARCONA's Triad Pads. he then spritzed ARCONA's Mineral Magic and applied ARCONA's Magic White Ice to hydrate her skin thoroughly.

foundation: Spencer kept Emily's foundation to a minimum, only evening her skin with Jane Iredale Liquid Minerals in Latte. he set her foundation with ARCONA's Sunsations Mineral Makeup in Almond for a healthy-looking, radiant finish.

undereye: Spencer dabbed a bit of ARCONA's Peptide Eye Serum to retain moisture.



eyeshadow & liner: Spencer created Emily's subtle, smoky eye look beginning with a neutral bronze shimmer (Nvey Eco Organic Eye Shadow 167), topped with Jane Iredale Eye Shadow in Cloud Nine (a trio of shimmery purple and lavenders) on her lid. he then lined her eyes with Inika Mineral Eyeliner Midnight Blue, smudging Brown Nvey Eco Organic Cake Eyeliner.

mascara: for seductively lush and lengthy lashes, Spencer applied Korres Natural black mascara.

lips: Spencer added a hint of raspberry color with Aveda Sheer Mineral Lip Color in Rhubarb 601.
