GET THE LOOK: Thanks to Celebrity Makeup Artist Gita Bass Talking Makeup has the scoop on how to get Toni Collette’s radiant look at the 67th Golden Globe Awards last night.

“For Toni Collette I combined warm healthy skin with a bronze metallic smoky eye and nude glossy lip” according to Gita. She prepped her eyes with AMOREPACIFIC Moisture Bound Intensive Vitalizing Eye Complex (available at Sephora.com)  to reduce any puffiness and to ensure the concealer and shadow stay in place all night. To create the perfect canvas for a flawless radiant complexion, Gita prepped Toni’s skin with AMOREPACIFIC Moisture Bound Refreshing Hydra Gel. The whole look was set with AMOREPACIFIC Moisture Bound Skin Energy Spray for a final touch of hydration and staying power. 

 “I added a layer of La Mer’s The Body Crème to keep her skin looking glowing and radiant. To keep her face looking flawless I used The Radiant Concealer SPF 25 under her eyes and on any redness. I prepped her lips with the amazing La Mer Lip Balm to keep them full and hydrated all night long.” added Gita.

Lancôme’s latest and greatest launches: Lancôme Génifique Eye, is Lancôme’s new powerhouse eye cream that improves dark circles in just a seven days. Like the original concentrate, Génifique Eye brightens the delicate skin around the eyes, all while protecting it with antioxidants and soothing it with its gel-cream texture.

Lancôme Génifique Eye is a love from first try for Marta:) This eye cream is silky to touch, absorbs fast into skin and doesn’t ‘sit’ on your skin creating a white layer (sounds familiar?). It hydrates and sooths my under eye skin. This one goes in Marta’s list of top and best eye creams!

Few weeks ago I was given an incredible chance to chat with Tim Quinn over the phone. Tim Quinn is Giorgio Armani’s Celebrity Face Designer National Director, Creative Artistry.

I met Tim in New York City during my trip with DailyMakeover.com this past July (2009). The meeting was in Pastis one of my favorite restaurants to hang out when I used to live in New York City. As soon as I was introduced to Tim during breakfast I knew I had to interview him and share with you his beauty insights and story of top celebrity makeup artist. As you can sense, I’m a huge fan. I remember telling him that I loved his style and that he looks “Very Armani”: That very pale almost platinum blonde hair, and the chic eye glasses. Believe it or not, Mr. Giorgio Armani himself set a table next to me in Cipriani Downtown SOHO few years ago, so I got to know the look:)

Marta Walsh: When did your fascination with beauty begin?
Tim Quinn: From as far back as I can remember I was drawn to the world of fashion and beauty. I was born and raised in the countryside of Connecticut and was always encouraged by my parents to go outside and play – TV was only for special occasions and the internet was still years away, so my siblings and friends would create our own worlds of entertainment. My paternal grandmother was widowed rather young and she remarried an attorney from New York. They lived in New York City during the week and at her country home in Litchfield, CT on the weekends. My visits and travels with them truly influenced my young mind – I thought of her life as my very own ‘Green Acres’. I became a glamour addict – watching her dress for dinner in NY, DC and even Iceland – the whole idea of the hair, makeup, jewelry and furs created such a glamorous world that was so different then the life I knew in Connecticut.
