EMMANUELLE CHRIQUI’S HOLLYWOOD NIGHT OUT

Get the Look with Makeup Artist Sarah Uslan

Rushing may have been the theme of the day, but Emmanuelle Chriqui’s soft red lips and natural eyes show anything but haste. The Entourage star looked flawless at the 2nd Annual Hollywood Rush event held last Sunday, February 19 – all thanks to celebrity makeup artist Sarah Uslan of the Serge Normant at John Frieda Salon in LA.

Sarah offers up her step-by-step for creating Emmanuelle’s flawless finish here!

It’s In the Eyes: “I started with Bobbi Brown Brown Metal Metallic Long-Wear Cream Shadow and swiped a soft amount over the lid,” says Sarah. “Blending out the edges with my ring finger.” Follow with Bobbi Brown Really Black Ink Gel eyeliner paired with Dolce & Gabanna’s angled eyeliner brush to create a defined kitten eye. Start with a light amount of liner as close to the lash line as possible, then from the outside corner begin to build a thicker line while making sure that the angle faces up and out to achieve your cat-like look.

Glowing Skin: Using Armani Luminous Silk Foundation with a foundation brush, start from the forehead and work down the middle of the face and then out to the jaw-line. Always be sure to blend the seam of the neck and the jaw. Then take Bobbi Brown Bronzer in Golden Light and dust over cheek bones and forehead to contour. Illamasqua Blush in Chased brushed to the apples of the cheeks with Dolce & Gabanna’s blush brush will give that perfect complimentary soft pink cheek you need when doing a red lip.

The Lips: “The perfect red for Emmanuelle was Dolce & Gabanna Lip Color in Scarlet which I traced over her lip with a lip brush and then patted on with the actual lipstick for more pigment.”

The Finish: Dust Dmk Powder in Dark Translucent over T-zone to cut any shine. Use Laura Mercier’s Brunette Brow Pencil to add definition to the brows. The final steps in completing this classic, clean and pretty look.

When the summer hits in a few months and temperatures start rising it will be time to bare more skin. If you want glowing beautiful skin your body needs proper prepping. Follow these head-to-toe tips and have beautiful summer ready skin. Here are some ideas to soothe and smooth veins, avoid flaky skin, conquer shaving mishaps, exfoliate, moisturize, etc.

Soft Touchable Skin: Exfoliate exfoliate, exfoliate aim for once or twice a week. When you remove the dead skin it helps you get rid of sallow complexion on your face and body, revealing new skin. Be sure to choose fine grain formulas and focus on your bodies most oily and dry parts. Remember to always moisturize after, post exfoliation your skin will be ready to drink in some extra moisture.

Hide Spider Veins: If you don’t have the time (or money) to visit the Dr. for a permanent solution to spider veins there are a few things you can do to cover them up. There are numerous cosmetics made purely for covering up veins and offer long lasting coverage, You can also use airbrush leg products they work similar to panty hose to smooth out your legs but you simply spray it on. Finally a great tan will help diminish the look of spider veins try a spray tan or one of the many great products to give yourself and airbrushed tan at home.

Achieve a Perfect Shave: You want to let your skin soften from the heat and moisture of your shower or bath, never shave on dry skin. Exfoliate prior to shaving to remove any dead skin that will clog your razor. Try out one of the many great shave creams it can be men’s or women’s formula these will help protect your skin and get you the closest shave. Experiment with different razors there is a perfect one for everyone be bold and try different styles until you find your match. Remember to change your cartridge, a dull blade can lead to nicks.

 Sun-Kissed Face: There is nothing sexy about forgetting your sunscreen and intentionally burning your skin. As summer nears you can try a sunless tanner for your face to slowly achieve the perfect glow. Bronzer can help you deepen your skin tone without the damage. Your goal is to be sun-kissed, not over done,  apply your bronzer sparingly apply the product  where you would normally get hit by the sun first: cheeks, nose, and a bit on the forehead.

Smooth Feet and Heels: Before bed saturate your feet and heels in lotion and put on a lightweight pair of socks to hold the moisture in. When you are in the shower use a loofah or washcloth to buff the top layer of skin on your feet helping remove any dull, dry skin.

Above all else don’t forget the sunscreen, use it everyday to ensure you have many beautiful skin summers to come!
