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:

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"

Christina Applegate at 2009 Primetime Emmy Awards

in creating Christina Applegate's red carpet look for the 2009 Primetime Emmys, makeup artist Joanna Schlip took inspiration from the dramatic, sweeping Basil Soda gown the actress had chosen to wear. the vintage glamour of the navy stunner called for simple makeup that would still make a statement.

like the dress, Christina's makeup needed to exude a Brigitte Bardot/60's cool, but with a modern twist. since her hair was pulled back in a chic chignon, Joanna was able to play up Christina's eyes with a sexy smolder, while keeping her skin fresh and lips softly pink.

here's how her look was created:

skincare:

for a radiant glow, Joanna prepped Christina's skin with three steps:

1.) she cleansed with Clarins Water Comfort One Step Cleanser

2.) she then applied Clarins Multi-Active Day moisturizer

3.) she followed with Clarins Beauty Flash Balm for smooth, hydrated, radiant skin.

face:



since Christina has naturally beautiful skin, Joanna kept her face mostly bare with a light wash of Clarins True Radiance Foundation. she finished with a dusting of Clarins Loose Powder in Translucent.

cheeks:



for a natural but luminous flush, Joanna applied Clarins Instant Sun Light Shimmer Palette on the apples of her cheeks, sweeping up to the hairline. the shimmering highlighter perfectly reflected the california sunlight, giving a healthy, peachy-pink glow.


eyes:



Joanna reflected the drama of Christina's dress with a smoldering eye. using the dark gray shade from Clarins Colour Quartet for Eyes in So Chic, Joanna gave a smokey depth to Christina's green eyes. to add definition and drama, she applied Clarins Eye Pencil in Black around the upper and lower lash line and inside the wet line, then finished with three coats of Clarins Wonder Perfect Mascara in Black.


lips:

for a soft, modern pink mouth, Joanna applied Clarins Lip Definer in Bay Rose, and then added a hint of gloss with Clarins Colour Quench Lip Balm in Rose Pink.
