Emma Roberts MET BALL Get The Look! Neutrogena

Celebrity make-up artist Dawn Broussard created this flawless look for young fashionista Emma Roberts. The inspiration for Emma’s look was derived from classic Audrey Hepburn mixed in with a fashion runway Parisian edge. Tips from Dawn below with Neutrogena products used to create her look:

FACE:

Neutrogena 3 in 1 Concealer in Fair

Neutrogena Skin Clearing Liquid Makeup in Nude

Neutrogena Mineral Sheers Loose Powder in Classic Ivory with a dab of Neutrogena Skin Clearing Mineral Powder (provides beautiful airy coverage that mattifies shiny areas, to build an all-over, natural and flawless finish while treating blemishes and prevent future breakouts)

Blush:

Neutrogena Healthy Skin Custom Glow Blush & Bronzer Duo in Natural Glow

Tip: I first used the bronzer as a contour for the cheekbones and the frame of her face, creating dimension and subtly bringing out the structure of the face. Secondly sweeping over with the blush and lightly blending the two together to make it seamless skin.

On the apple of the cheeks added a dust of Neutrogena Mineral Sheers Blush in Natural Apricot.

With the layering of these products it gives off a youthful freshness to any look.

EYES:

Neutrogena Nourishing Eye Quad in Blue Smoke

Tip: to create a modern twist on a classic eye shape I used blue/navy tones as opposed to the basic black. It keeps the look dramatic yet soft and wearable for day or night. I extended out the eye shape by layering over shadow with Nourishing Eyeliner in Twilight Blue. Blending the pencil over the shadow with an outward stroke of the brush.

Topped off with Neutrogena Healthy Volume Mascara in Carbon Black

LIPS:

Neutrogena MoistureShine Lip Sheer in Cool Nectar

Get Kate Hudson’s MET Ball Look with Living Proof

Inspiration: A day spent sun-bathing in San Tropez

The look: Elegant yet flirty, not too coiffed but still full of body and texture.

How to get the look: David Babaii used Living Proof Full to give Kate Hudson’s fine, limp blonde hair a thicker feel. He rubbed the product between his fingers to activate the ingredients and applied FULL from root to shaft. He rough dried the entire head to add additional volume. He then created a side part and formed a braid along the side of her face. He gathered all the hair back into a low bun at the nape of the neck, pulling the braid back with the rest, creating a sexy, cool up-do.

Babaii said, “Usually I am afraid to braid Kate’s hair because it is so fine, but Living Proof Full added the dimension and depth I needed to create this fabulous red carpet look.”

Ralph Lauren Summer Romance

If you are a fan of the classic Ralph Lauren Romance your sure to love the new Summer Romance. It takes the classic Romance scent and warms it up for summer with a beautiful bouquet of florals and fruit.  I just tried a sample of this fragrance and I’m really enjoying it. I love the passion fruit scent and the floral and musk notes keep the fragrance from smelling too young. My only issue is the scent seems to fade rather quickly. But overall it has a great tropical vibe that is perfect for summer.

It’s been a long winter, but that’s all the more reason to look forward to the scents of summer. Fall in love with Ralph Lauren Summer Romance, a captivating Fresh Fruity Floral that transports the senses. Fragrant warm breezes fill the air and awaken memories of a quintessential summer romance. Escape to the beach for a romantic sunset walk or picturesque picnic for two every time you wear it. Summer Romance is available now at Macy’s and Macys.com.

About Ralph Lauren Summer Romance:

Summer Romance is the latest in the Romance collection, developed by master perfumer Harry Fremont. The original Romance was first introduced in 1998 in celebration of new love, followed in 2009 by Romance Always Yours, the essence of eternal Romance.

The fragrance takes a tropical twist on the classic Romance scent with blooming flowers, succulent exotic fruits, and an embrace of milky sweet musk.

Top: Mandarin, Passion Fruit
Middle: Hibiscus, Tiare Flower
Base: Exotic Woods, Apricot Musk

Give Sunburned Skin a Soothing Treat With the Things You Eat!

Too much fun in the hot summer sun and feeling the burn? Quick relief can be found at home in all the darnest places! Try these cost-effective, fast-acting, at-home skin soothing recipes from Celebrity Esthetician, Scott-Vincent Borba…

The Milky Way. Achieve instant, head-to-toe relief by simply taking a milk bath. Milk contains essential fats that create a temporary barrier on the skin and soothe pain. Fill the tub with cool water and add one gallon of Milk (rich in Vitamin D) plus two Alka-Seltzer tablets. The carbonation will immediately work to calm down any skin irritation. Slowly add in 12-24 ice cubes, allowing your body to acclimate to the cool temperature.

Feeling The Burn (in a bad way?) Chill out with a skin smoothie! Yogurt contains different types of fat that create a temporary protective barrier on the skin and soothe pain. Fill a large ziplock bag with yogurt and freeze it for at least thirty minutes. Remove the bag from the freezer and puncture the front and back with a fork. Then, wrap a towel around the bag and set it on the sunburned area.

One cool dip. Sour cream contains fatty ingredients that work to alleviate the pain and redness that comes with sunburn. The cooling sensation from the cream can last longer than aloe vera. Slather a dollop of sour cream on the burnt skin and cover with an ice cold wash cloth. Repeat until any stinging or burning sensations dissipate.

Feeling fried? Starch found in potatoes can offer an immediate relief from overly sun-kissed skin. Take two large potatoes, chop them and toss them into a blender. Add a tablespoon of honey to give the mixture adhesive qualities. Puree the ingredients and place them on sensitive areas of skin, you should feel instant relief. You can also use green granny apples instead of potatoes, this popular fruit contains high anti-inflammatory agents that work to reduce the redness in sun burned skin.
