Terri Seymour Makeup Tutorial

Terri Seymour was co-hosting a charity event Thursday night in LA and is photographed here with her ex boyfriend Simon Cowell.

Living in the U.K. made me get to know many British Celebs and one of them is the beautiful, Terri Seymour. She is making waves here in the U.S. as a reporter on entertainment news show EXTRA and American Idol correspondent for FOX 11 in Los Angeles.

Thanks to Talking Makeup’s Celebrity Makeup Artist contributor, Melissa Walsh, we have the how-to steps to get Terri Seymour’s makeup look.

Face: “I started with Hourglass Fluid Veil, then smoothed Smashbox Photo-OP Undereye Brightener under the eyes and on the cheekbones for a glowing effect.”

Eyes: “I then lightly dusted Hourglass Invisible Veil all over and Benefit Powderflage under the eyes.

Her eyes were made up with a combination of Urban Decay’s new cream eyeshadows (which I love!) in Rehab and Delinquent and then I lined the eyes, top and bottom with Sue Devitt Studio eye pencil in Ava and deepened it with Bourjois eyeshadow in Noir Precieux.

“…I highlighted the inner corners of her eyes with Smashbox eyeshadow in Honey. I defined her lashes with Benefit Badgal mascara.”

Cheeks: “For her cheeks I used my favorite blush – Cargo in Catalina and then dusted Smashbox Halo Hydrating powder along her cheekbones for a subtle sheen.”

Lips: “Her lips were glossed with Smashbox lipgloss in Afterglow.”-Melissa Walsh.

While exploring my fascination with arts in a fresh and inspiring environment, I befriended a great makeup artist in New York who introduced me to the world of makeup. Beauty and makeup became my newfound passion, and I have been working in this field ever since.
