Jennifer Lopez InStyle Cover September 2009

Jennifer Lopez graces the cover of InStyle September 2009 cover, which also happens to be their 15 anniversary special issue.

I absolutely love Jennifer’s makeup look and hairstyle on this cover. She can have her hair pulled up tight to her scalp and still look good. Another celebrity I can think of who can pull off  this hairstyle effortlessly is Natalie Portman.

Here is how to get Jeniffer Lopez’s inspired red lips on the cover of InStyle Magazine September 2009:

Lancome Color Fever in Rouge Magnificence, $25

Estee Lauder Double Wear Lipstick in Stay Scarlet 10, $22

Lauren Hutton Face Disc

Introducing Naturals By Lauren Hutton: Think:  Naturally ageless makeup.

In the days of the “Mod” look (60’s heavy HEAVY makeup!), she quietly, cover by cover, snuck in the natural look, and kept it! When she returned to modeling at age 47, Lauren Hutton had created her own makeup in her kitchen. Existing cosmetics contained strong pigment, heavy filler, mica and pearl for collagen plumped-water-filled youthful skin. They made her look older and artificial, instead of natural. Eight years ago, after a near-death motorcycle accident, she finally had the time to make it for all women and wanted it to be fast, easy and pragmatic with the best ingredients, while remaining affordable for everyone.

• The original color-coded face disc has sold close to 1 million units now.
• The sensible evolution was to go to (100%!) all natural formulas.

With Naturals by Lauren Hutton, women don’t have to choose between anti-aging care and natural ingredients. Naturals by Lauren Hutton was developed to meet the rigorous standards of the Natural Products Association, providing naturally efficacious makeup products.

 

“Eastwick” Star Jaime Ray Newman Interviews With Marta Walsh

I’m so excited to share with you my interview with “Eastwick” star Jaime Ray Newman who plays the character of Kat Gardener. Eastwick is an American television drama series, that is scheduled to premiere on ABC on Wednesday, September 23, 2009 at 10:00 PM ET. Eastwick is a television adaption of the 1987 feature The Witches of Eastwick. Show’s cast also includes Lindsay Price, and Rebecca Romijn.

Newman’s previous roles include: Kristina Carter Cassadine on the soap opera, General Hospital. And, a part in the Steven Spielberg’s Catch Me If You Can, with a scene opposite Leonardo DiCaprio.

In this interview Jaime Ray Newman talks to Marta Walsh about her first breaks as an actress. Her role as Kat Rougemont on the new ABC show “Eastwick”. Beauty secrets, and future plans.

Marta Walsh: How did you decide on a career in acting, and what were some of your first breaks as an actress?
Jaime Ray Newman: I did my first professional play when I was 12. A local theater came to my middle school to audition girls for a new Israel Horowitz play, and I got the gig. My parents first reaction was “There are two people in this household with careers and you’re not one of them”. But after much begging, they acquiesced, and away I went. My first real break was playing Kristina Cassadine on “General Hospital”. I was fresh out of college and thrilled to be working.

MW: What attracted you to Kat Rougemont’s character on the new ABC show “Eastwick”?
JRN: I love playing Kat. She’s quite unlike me, actually, so I really get to dig and create a character. She’s undertaken so much responsibility (5 children, a full time job, a husband who may as well be one of her kids) that she hasn’t had a second for herself since she was 18. She’s struggling to find her voice again, and that is always fascinating to me. Playing someone in deep conflict is always the most interesting.

Watch “Eastwick” trailer below, the show looks so cute! It’s like “Sex and The City” meets “Charmed”.

“Mercy” Star Taylor Schilling Interviews With Marta Walsh

I recently had an amazing chance to interview actress Taylor Schilling who plays Nurse Veronica Callahan in an upcoming NBC TV series “Mercy“. There are two other nurses in “Mercy”: Chloe Payne played by Michelle Trachtenberg, and  Sonia Jimenez played by Jaime Lee Kirchner.

Schilling made her debut on the big screen in the role of Jackie in the First Independent Pictures film “Dark Matter,” which co-starred Meryl Streep. The film, inspired by actual events, follows the journey of an ambitious Chinese scientist working towards his Ph.D. in America, only to be marginalized to the extent that he ultimately loses his way.

“Mercy” premieres Wednesday September 23RD 8/7c. 


Taylor Schilling

In this interview Taylor Schilling talks to Marta Walsh about her beginnings in the acting world. What attracted her to Veronica’s character on the new NBC show “Mercy”. Taylor even shares with us some of her beauty secrets and her future plans.

Marta Walsh: How did you decide on a career in acting, and what were some of your first breaks as an actress?
Taylor Schilling: I have wanted to be an actor for as long as I can remember…I studied acting in undergraduate and graduate school in NYC. Was only a year ago but seems like forever!

MW: What attracted you to Veronica’s character on the new NBC show “Mercy”?
TS: I suspect on some level, everyone has experienced a life changing event that has left them feeling like a fish out of water back home. Veronica is trying to navigate through that feeling in her relationships, at work, with her family and friends…everywhere. She makes mistakes. She’s flawed and she’s raw. I appreciate her vulnerability and ferocity, her compassion and desire to do the right thing.

Darac Beauty Sifted Blur & TourQuam 3-D Face Sculpting Brush

In Marta’s Makeup Bag:

Darac Beauty Sifted Blur & TourQuam 3-D Face Sculpting Brush: I use both to touch up my makeup on the go. The TourQuam 3-D Face Sculpting Brush ($40) is one of the best makeup brushes I’ve ever used. I met Darac in New York City this past July, and listened to his fascinating story of how he invented this very unique makeup brush. I love entrepreneurs and inventors, and Darac is no exception!

TourQuam takes what you know about conventional makeup brushes and abolishes it into to the dark ages. Today, the type of brush you use to paint your walls is the type of brush you use to apply cosmetics. they pick up and deposit a clump of product in one place, so you waste time blending it out; it is impossible to get into the corners and facets of the face; application is heavy and cakey.

Darac Beauty resolves all of these problems with multiple layers of patented technology housed in one brush, creating 3-dimensional beauty. *Please be advised that this brush contains magnets that may interfere with a pacemaker or similar medical device. Also comes in a bigger size: TourQuam Luxe.

Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Lipstick & Double Wear Stay-in-Place Lip Pencil

In Marta’s Makeup Bag:

Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Lipstick in Stay Pink and Stay Scarlet ($22): I love to start my evening with a light pink shade of lipstick like Stay Pink and get more dramatic as the evening unfolds with a red lipstick, such as: Stay Scarlet. I carry a red lipstick or a lipgloss at all times in my makeup bag. Red lipstick brightens up my face when I’m tired, or if I look too pale. It dresses me up if I have to go to a last minute fancy dinner and drinks.

 Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Lip Pencil in Pink ($19): Get more for your buck with this lip pencil and a lip brush in one!

I wore Double Wear Stay-in-Place Lipstick in Stay Pink & Double Wear Stay-in-Place Lip Pencil in Pink last night, from drinks and appetizers till late night shopping at the Fashion Square mall in Old Town Scottsdale, without needing to constantly re-applying.
