GET THE LOOK: Actress Katrina Bowden, star in the hit show “30 Rock” made her mark on the red carpet of the 2010 SAG Awards this weekend! mark celebrity makeup artist Jamie Greenberg explains how she created Katrina’s sultry look for the event.

How to Get Katrina’s Memorable Makeup Look at the 2010 SAG Awards:

Face
“I started by prepping Katrina’s face with mark For Goodness Face Antioxidant Skin Moisturizing Lotion and mark Kiss Dry Goodbye Lip Smoother onto her lips. I evened out her complexion with mark Face Xpert Flawless Touch Makeup in Golden then buffed Champagne onto her cheek bones for emphasis. To give her that natural looking rosy glow, I used mark Just Pinched Instant Blush Tint in Peachy, smoothed onto the apples of her cheeks followed by a dash of mark Bronze Pro Bronzing Powder. I finished her face with a final brush of mark Matte-nificent Oil-Absorbing Powder to eliminate any excess shine. I then used mark Jewel Body Cream on any exposed skin to give her body a gorgeous glow.”

Eyes
“For Katrina’s eyes, I started with mark It Kit (available in February 2010) in Latte and blended into her crease. I then used I-mark Custom Pick Eyeshadow in Corset brushed onto her lid, blending it slightly upwards into the crease and dashed below her bottom lash line. I then used mark Eyemarker Color On Line in Jet and carefully rimmed the top and bottom of her eyes, then used mark On The Edge Hook Up Liquid Eyeliner in Cleo to create a perfect line on the top lid strictly for definition. I finished up her eyes with two coats of mark Scanda-Lash Hook Up Mascara in Blacklash focusing on the corner of her lashes to really draw them out.”

Lips
“To keep Katrina’s lips looking subtle and natural, I used mark Dew Drenched Moisturlicious Lip Color in Mist.”

The Office’s Jenna Fischer and her makeup artist Vanessa Scali designed a Golden Goddess look that was easy and sexy: Pale, gold skin and a smoky bronze eye. Here’s how to get the look:

SKIN: “I first applied spot foundation only where it was needed using shu uemura’s Nobara Cream Cover Stick Foundation. It gives clean, fresh, flawless coverage. I then used Lancôme’s Effecernes in Light Bisque and Blush Subtil in Sheer Amourose. I highlighted her cheek and brow bones with Armani’s Fluid Sheer #2. In the T-zone only, I used shu uemura’s Face Powder in Colorless – matte formula.”

EYES: “For a soft, smoky effect, I used shu uemura’s Pressed Eye Shadow in ME Gold #350 from the lash line to the crease and under the lower lashes. For a bit more depth, I added shu uemura’s ME Brown #855 to the outer corners of the lid. To define and elongate the lash line, I used shu uemura’s Painting Liner in black. I love luxuriously full lashes and gave Jenna’s a boost by adding shu uemura’s Flare False Eyelashes in Black followed by a few generous coats of Kiehl’s Marvelous Mineral Mascara in Black.”

LIPS: “I used shu uemura’s Rouge Unlimited Supreme Shine in Beige 911.”

Elisabeth Moss looked stunning on the red carpet last night and as she took stage with her fellow cast members to receive the award for “Best Drama”, for “Mad Men”, the hit series in which she stars. Celebrity makeup artist, Lauren Kaye Cohen shares how she created Elisabeth’s ethereal look:

SKIN: To get Elisabeth’s radiant-looking, flawless skin, I began by using a combination of shu uemura’s Face Architect Smoothing Fluid Foundation and the new Nobara Cream Cover Stick Foundation (in areas that needed more coverage) both in shades 784. I applied both foundations with shu uemura’s Natural 18 Goat Brush. I then dabbed a bit of YSL Teint Parfait Complexion Enhancer in 02 Rose Pearl with my fingertips across the tops of her cheekbones. I finished with shu uemura’s Face Powder in Matte 5yr Light, applying it just to the center of the face with shu’s Natural Brush 27.

EYES: For eye shadow, I used YSL Fard Lumière Aquarésistant Cream Eyeshadow in Pink Sands and Copper Brown and then layered Giorgio Armani Maestro Eye Shadow Quads in 02 Floral and 05 Desert with shu uemura Portable Natural Brush 10. I wanted to keep the eyes very clean and really make them all about the lashes, so I applied Lancôme’s new Ôscillation Powerbooster lash primer followed by Ôscillation Mascara in Black, which looked beautiful!

LIPS: For lips, I used shu uemura Lip Drawing Pencil in PK 382 and then combined the Rouge Unlimited OR 531S lipstick with shu’s gorgeous new Rouge Unlimited Supreme Shine lipstick in OR 520. I gave this lipstick to Elisabeth for touch-ups throughout the night.

Lauren finished by telling us, “I’m so proud of Elisabeth for being nominated for ‘Best Actress’ in the company of Glenn Close and Sally Field, wow!”
