MAC Studio Sculpt Foundation SPF 15 by MAC Lead Makeup Artist James Kaliardos

New York Fashion Week Fall 2009 report: I asked James Kaliardos, MAC Lead Makeup Artist, backstage at Luca Luca Fall 2009 fashion show about MAC Studio Sculpt Foundation SPF 15 and why he likes to use it on models to achieve the runway makeup look for the show.

“I really like it…MAC Studio Sculpt Foundation…because it has good coverage and it can also be thinned out so it can be very transparent. It is a very easy product to use.”-James Kaliardos.

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.”


Hourglass Fluid Veil & Smashbox Photo-OP Undereye Brightener.

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.

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.

Oscars 2009: Best Hairstyles and Makeup Looks

Though not all of our fave celebrities got to walk the Oscars red carpet (boo!) we did manage to snag photos of our most loved hair and makeup looks. Miss Angelina Jolie wins the award for most gorgeous all around (not shocking, we know). Though we must admit without the striking green jewels she may have been too blah. Proof, once again, that fashion and beauty are not mutually exclusive.
