Face Scrub and Face Exfoliator. From the Sephora Collection Skincare NEW Smart Dual Action Exfoliator & I love it smells so good. It is gentle enough to massage my face with and get that fresh and clean invigorating feeling in the morning while in shower.

Sephora Collection Skincare NEW Smart Dual Action Exfoliator

Sephora Collection Skincare NEW Smart Dual Action Exfoliator how it looks inside.

Loving the NEW L’Oreal Paris True Match Roller foundation. It makes applying foundation in the morning and any time just a little bit more easy and relaxing (no mess). It covers immediately with a thin layer of product without caking the foundation on your face. You can also get the corners with the roller like around your nose, mouth, and under eye. Make sure you gt the right shade. Looks like my shade is W 5-6 sand beige/sun beige. L’Oreal True Match Roller is oil free and has SPF 25.

NARS insider tips from Marcel! NARSISSISM #3-Marcel says: “Never create a mask with foundation. Look at the skin objectively, and pay close attention to areas of the face that need more coverage. Apply foundation to the center, and always blend outward.”

In honor of the upcoming launch of the new NARS Pro-Prime line for makeup prep (available May 1st, 2010) NARS is divulging beauty secrets from one of their most loyal campaign models. Having traveled extensively with François Nars, Founder and Creative Director of NARS Cosmetics, this beauty has learned a thing or two about putting the best possible face forward. Introducing…Marcel!

This pup has been around for a long time as the face of NARS. When Francois Nars had to choose a model to promote his newest launch, who better than a wrinkly bull dog embodying the universal ideal that “wisdom and beauty come with age”?

NARSISSISM #1-Marcel says: “While products are important, any NARSissist knows it’s not always what you’re applying but how it’s applied. Preparing the skin for makeup is the most important part of any makeup application. Remove makeup nightly, use SPF when in the sun, and always moisturize.”

Stay tuned for more fun facts, campaign images and tips from Marcel to keep your makeup long-lasting. Check out NARS facebook page for additional footage from the NARS archives.

GET THE LOOK: Actress Olivia Wilde, star in the hit show “House” made her mark on the red carpet of the FOX 2010 All-Star Party this week! mark celebrity makeup artist Jamie Greenberg explains how she created Olivia’s stunning red carpet look for the event.

How to Get Olivia’s Glowing look:

Face
“I started by moisturizing Olivia’s face with mark See Things Clearly Brightening Moisturizer to get an even base. I then applied mark Get a Tint Tinted Moisturizer Lotion in Ivory/Nude to add some subtle color without using a heavy foundation. Next, I used mark Get Bright Hook Up Highlighter under her eyes to hide any dark circles and mark Cheat Sheet Shine-Blotters to eliminate shine. I finished off her face by highlighting her gorgeous cheek bones with mark Glow Xpert Face Shimmer in Champagne Glow and just a hint of color by blending mark Just Pinched Instant Blush Tint in Peachy and Spice onto the apples of her cheeks.”

Eyes
“For her eyes, I blended mark Eyemarker Color On Line in Jet into the lash line, smudging it upwards over the lid as an eyeshadow base. I then used shades from the mark It Kit (available in February) including mark Ruffle and Latte in the crease and along the lower lash line to make her eyes really pop. Finally I coated her lashes with two coats of mark Lash Splash Hook Up Waterproof Mascara in Black.”

Lips
“For her lips I used mark Dew Drenched Moisturlicious Lip Color in Skinny Dip and finished off the look with two refreshing pumps of mark Mist Opportunity Multi-tasking Refresher.”

Actress Amy Smart made her mark looking absolutely stunning at the Friends Without Borders Gala in Los Angeles. Amy wore a black turtle neck dress from Catherine Malandrino.

Face
“I started with new mark Calm & Composed Super Soothing Moisturizer then applied mark Face Xpert in Natural using the mark Foundation Brush to even out her skintone. For her cheeks, I used mark Just Pinched Instant Blush Tint in Peachy, applying to just the apples of her cheeks using the mark Concealer Brush.
