Lauren Conrad has been replaced! Since her contract with Mark cosmetics has expired, the company has announced that they’ve swooped up the beautiful Ashley Greene to take over the role as spokesperson!

Twilight’s Ashley Greene said the message behind the makeup was what has made her new endorsement even more rewarding. The company’s m.powerment fund helps raise awareness to end the cycle of dating abuse and violence.

“Initially, I was drawn to mark because of the products,” the 23-year-old actress said. “But what really sealed the deal was its empowering message to young women, which is something I relate to.”

“Ashley has a natural beauty, but I love that she experiments with fashion,” says Claudia Poccia, the global president of Mark, a division of Avon. “She mixes it up and makes it her own.”

Greene’s campaigns for Mark are expected to appear in magazines and on TV later this year.

Fine Beauty How-To:

Jennifer Hudson’s Luminous Look

The ever beautiful and recently slimmed down Jennifer Hudson recently got together with Sam Fine, celebrity makeup artist and creator of The Basics of Beauty, for a shoot showing off her gorgeous new look. Here, Sam shares his insider advice on how you can achieve this flawless and glowing face at home with just a few easy steps.

Coverage: Every great look begins great coverage. Jennifer has beautiful skin, but like many women of color, she has varied tones. I use foundation to unify those varying tones. One of my favorites is the Queen Collection Natural Hue Compact Foundation because it’s cream- to- powder, so it dries down to a powdery finish and looks really natural.

Bronzer: Bronzer is always a must for all women to illuminate their complexion. It’s important to choose a bronzer that’s one shade darker than your natural skin tone and apply it to the outer perimeter of your face to warm the skin and create a halo of glow. After applying bronzer, you can go back and layer over blush to give the skin a pop of color. On Jennifer, I used CoverGirl Natural Hue Mineral Bronzer and Cargo’s matte blush in Laguna.

Eyes: To create Jennifer’s classic, natural eye, I used a brown shadow. Shu Uemura makes a great pressed eye shadow in an array of shades – in this case, their Matte Taupe with Golden Flakes Eyeshadow works perfectly. For this look, I didn’t use a ton of liner, and totally avoided lining underneath her eyes to keep them soft. We used tons of mascara to enhance her look – my favorite is LashBlast from CoverGirl. I always like to apply a coat of mascara, and then move on to something else to let the first coat dry. I’ll come back a few minutes later, curl the lashes, and then layer on a few more coats of mascara to really build the lashes. This makes them much more dramatic and makes the curl hold well. It’s like spraying your hair with a coat of hairspray before using a curling iron.

Lips: To complete her look, I gave Jennifer a beautiful nude lip. The key to a nude lip is to begin by lining the lips with liner that is one shade darker than your natural lip color. Don’t worry about matching the liner to your lipstick – if you match it to your lips, it will look great with any shade of lipstick. After lining the lips, feather the liner towards the center of the mouth to great a base for the lipstick. Next, apply your lipstick. On Jennifer, I chose IMAN Cosmetics’ Luxury Moisturizing Lipstick in Citron. I finished by slicking on a golden gloss add dimension and shine. CoverGIRL’s Shine Blast Lip Gloss is perfect!

MTV MOVIE AWARDS

June 6th 2010

Neutrogena GET THE LOOK – Miranda Cosgrove & Vanessa Hudgens

Make-up Artist: Coleen Campbell-Olwell – Miranda Cosgrove

Coleen Campbell-Olwell: I loved Miranda’s young and hip red dress for the MTV Movie Awards! To highlight her natural beauty, I kept her makeup fresh and fun – peach-shimmer lips and smoky eyes with a hint of copper.

The trick to keeping Miranda’s face luminous but shine free for the long night was Neutrogena Skin Clearing Oil Free Foundation and Skin Clearing Oil Free Pressed Powder, both in Natural Ivory. Then I swirled Neutrogena Healthy Skin Custom Glow Blush and Bronzer, in Posie Glow, onto the apples of her cheeks. I LOVE this palette—it’s so versatile!

To create Miranda’s smoky eyes, I applied Neutrogena Nourishing Eye Quad in Copper Glow. It goes on sheer, but you can build it up for a more intense look. For dramatic lashes to frame her gorgeous brown eyes, I brushed on two coats of Neutrogena Healthy Volume Mascara in black. And here’s one of my secrets: for an attention-grabbing look, I pick one facial feature to focus on – in this case, Miranda’s eyes. By keeping her lips more subtle using Neutrogena MoistureShine gloss in Healthy Peach, I was really happy with the result.

Skin prep is also just as important so there is a great base to apply make-up. Recommend the Neutrogena WAVE to exfoliate the skin pre-event so the surface is smooth and ready for application. Also on a hot day, it is important to wear an SPF in your moisturizer under your make-up. Neutrogena Anti-Reside Shampoo is also a great product to use once a week to remove the residue of hair care products from your scalp.

This is one of my favorite products I’ve sampled this year. I was new to  liquid bronzers and I was excited to try a sample of Noah’s Naturals and see how it worked.  I just put two pumps in my palm and one pump of my daily moisturizer and sunscreen and rubbed them together to mix and massaged into my skin. I was left with a more golden and flawless version of my own skin, still natural looking but it had covered the imperfections and gave my face a golden glow.

A great product, so easy to use and saves me  time in the morning. I also love that it is all natural and I don’t have to worry about what I am rubbing into my skin. For the girl on the budget the whole Noah’s Naturals line is available at Walmart!

Filming Just Go With It in tropical Maui, Hawaii, fair skinned Nicole Kidman has turned to SPF 100 to protect her flawless skin! While her co-star Jennifer Aniston has been seen working on her tan on the spectacular local beaches, Nicole avoids the intense sun with floppy hats, sunglasses and a specially formulated super strong sunscreen to keep her skin milky white. “Nicole does not tan, and working in the intense sun in Hawaii has been a challenge for her,” a movie insider reveals. “She’s been a really good sport about it all, but she has begged the director to keep her out of the sun as much as possible.” Despite being from sundrenched Australia, Nicole is no fan. “Her face is her fortune, and she protects it,” says a pal.
