Jean Fayard, Clarins Make-up Artist, created for the makeup look for the 2013 Angel Sanchez bridal collection during bridal week which took place in New York last week. Soft, light, and romantic were the keywords of this bridal collection. Angel Sanchez worked with materials to create intricate and romantic embroideries for a timeless elegance with a unique, modern twist.

BRIDAL MAKEUP

Jean was inspired by Angel’s architectural creations: chic and feminine with an edge. Working with Angel, she imagined a subtle icy turquoise look based on a flawless complexion and touches of radiant light.

HOW TO

Skin:

First, the skin was prepped with Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch to fill in any imperfections and help hold foundation. Next, Jean used the Everlasting Foundation to even the skin without creating a mask. Her tip is to apply the fluid foundation with a brush to easily blend it for a natural result. For the blush, she generously applied Blush Prodige in Soft Peach from the apples of the cheeks swept up toward the hairline for a healthy natural glow. She then topped it off with loose powder and sprayed the Clarins Fix’ Makeup that helps makeup stay on.

Eyes:

The Eyes were the stars of this look! Jean started with the Instant Light Eye Perfecting Base to prep the eyelids. Then, playing with three eye shadows, the Turquoise and White from the Eye Quartet Mineral Palette in 08 blue sky and the Silver from the Eye Quartet Mineral Palette in 03 graphites, Jean created a frozen feel, blending the colors for a subtle yet edgy result. She then lined the eye with the Eye Pencil in Black applied with a small brush for a soft line at lash, then smudged a bit of the Turquoise eye shadow over the liner on the top and bottom corner at lash line. To add intensity to the eyes, Jean added fake lashes one by one, only at the outer corner of the eyes. One minimal coat of Instant Definition Mascara in Black was all that was needed to finish the eyes. She then gave some soft definition to the brows using the Pro Palette EyeBrow Kit before lightly brushing them with a silver tint – to create a seamless look with the hair. To top it off, Jean used appliqué elements from the dresses on the forehead above one eye to give a high fashion runaway feel to the look.

Lips:

Soft nude lips completed the look with a Lip Definer pencil in nude, Rouge Prodige lipstick in Nude and Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector 03.

Last night Eva Mendes became the new face of Angel by Thierry Mugler, which happens to be Marta Walsh’s signature perfume:) A glittering party was held to toast this glamorous new face. TM has the scoop on how to get Eva Mendes’ Angel makeup look. Makeup Artist Genevieve Herr primed Eva’s skin with Clarins Beauty Flash Balm and Multi-Active Day Cream.

Eva Mendes’ Angel Makeup Look

Using Thierry Mugler Beauty, she created this sultry, summer look to complement Eva’s mint green MUGLER dress.

First, she used ‘Cooling Effect Compact Foundation’ in Color #50. To contour Eva’s features, she brushed on the ‘Blush & Light Powder’ in Brown & White. To prep the lips, she applied ‘Flash Lips Foundation’ in Nude and blended with ‘Rouge Unique Lipstick’ in Heaven. To create the sultry dramatic eye, she lined the whole eye from inner to outer corner on both the upper and lower lash lines in black “Eye Liner Cream”. To highlight the lids, she swept on “Eye Shadow & Lights Quartet” in Sublime Nature to contour the eyes with beige and golden hues. Finally, she applied “Flash on Lashes Mascara’ in Black to the lashes, but the secret weapon was a final coat of ‘Vinyl Gloss’ on the lashes to leave them looking wet and glossy.

Marta Walsh has the scoop about the gorgeous makeup look that Pati Dubroff, Clarins Celebrity Beauty Artist created for Kirsten Dunst last night at the 2011 MET Gala.

Pati was inspired by Kirsten’s beautiful Chanel dress with sparkling sequins and mineral stones sewn into the bodice. She wanted these natural gems to be reflected in her makeup.

Skin: First the skin was prepped with Instant Smooth Line Correcting Concentrate to fill in any imperfections and help hold foundation. Next, she used a light amount of Skin Illusion Foundation to even the skin without creating a mask. For the blush, she generously applied Blush Prodige in Miami Pink from the apples of the cheeks swept up toward the hairline for a healthy, romantic feel.

Eyes: Playing with the Clarins NeoPastels Eye Palette, Pati created a gorgeous, jeweled eye for Kirsten. She sculpted the bones of her eye with the dusty rose colour, and on the center of the lids used the taupey opal. Finally, she washed the whole eye with the bluish lavender shade – just like an opal stone! One minimal coat of Wonder Perfect Mascara was all that was needed to finish the eyes.

Lips: A soft, violet rose completed the look with Rouge Prodige in Lilac Pink.

Julianne Moore looked radiant last night on the red carpet of the 2011 Golden Globe Awards in a dazzling pink, Lanvin dress. Nominated for Best Actress in The Kids Are All Right, her co-star Annette Benning took home the prize for the same film. Moore’s flawless makeup was created by Pati Dubroff, Clarins Celebrity Beauty Artist. A fuchsia dress on a red head can be difficult to match makeup to, but Dubroff chose to stay within the pink family creating contrasting hues on the eye lids (soft pink) and deep, rich blackberry on the lips.

Skin:

Dubroff started with Clarins Instant Smooth Line Correcting Concentrate to fill any fine lines on the skin and create an even canvas. She then applied the Instant Light Complexion Perfector in Rose Shimmer along her cheekbones for glowing skin that did not cover her freckles. Next, she swept a small amount of Blush Prodige in Miami Pink on the apples of her cheeks.

Eyes:

Clarins Instant Light Eye Perfecting Base was the foundation of the soft eye look, which not only helps pigment last all night but makes the color richer on the skin tone. Next, she used the pale pink eye shadow from Clarins new Neo Pastels Eye Palette and sculpted the eye using a matte taupe shade from the Pro Palette Eye Brow Kit. Competing the look was many coats of Wonder Perfect Mascara in Black.

Lips:

Berry stained lips, that looked like she just sipped a glass of wine were achieved without liner, but by dabbing on Clarins Rouge Prodige in Blackberry with the fingers.

Clarins introduces Instant Smooth Line Correcting Concentrate is a portable magic wand favorite of Clarins Celebrity Beauty Artist, Pati Dubroff.

Clarins new Line Correcting Concentrate can be applied directly to lines for instant touch-ups throughout the day. The high precision silicone tip targets the heart of the wrinkle to fill it in and smooth it away.

Instant Smooth tips from Clarins Celebrity Beauty Artist, Pati Dubroff:

A simple trick for using less foundation is mixing it with Instant Smooth. This gives skin a flawless, even tone, smoothes lines and wrinkles and helps your make-up stay on longer.

Use Instant Smooth over your foundation instead of Powder. Too much powder makes skin look dull and chalky!

To set your make-up throughout the day, apply Instant Smooth over make-up, on the t-zone and around the sides of the nose, to lessen redness, control shine and fill in lines and pores.

Use around the edges of lips to fill in lines and hold lipstick in place.

Portable for instant touch-ups on lines and wrinkles throughout the day.

For a smoother and younger looking complexion, immediately and over-time, apply the boosted formula with skincare benefits over expression lines near lips, eyes, brows and nose.

To prolong skincare benefits around the eye area, mix Instant Smooth with your eye cream to diminish the appearance of lines and wrinkles for more youthful looking eyes.

The product retails at $32.
