Josie Maran Interviews With Marta Walsh
I’m excited to share with you my interview with American model and actress Josie Maran. Josie is also the founder of her own natural cosmetics product line, named Josie Maran Cosmetics.
In this interview Josie Maran talks about what led her to create Josie Maran Cosmetics. Her ultimate beauty secret. Her passion to protect the environment and for all things green. The people that inspire her the most, and future plans.
Marta Walsh: You are known for your career as a model and actress, what inspired you to create your own cosmetics line?
Josie Maran: When pregnant with my daughter a few years ago, I decided to look for natural makeup formulas to use and discovered that none lived up to the levels of sophistication and luxury as I wanted. It was then I realized that after spending so many hundreds of hours in the makeup chair, I was uniquely qualified to create my own line of cosmetics, the type of makeup that I was searching for: chic, luxurious and, most importantly, healthy. Not long after the birth of my daughter, Josie Maran Cosmetics was born.

Three second place winners will receive a set of Leslie’s Bare Skin Collection (over $100 value/each).
“Your sense of smell is a strong trigger for memories, and like Leslie Blodgett, many of us have experienced a special vacation that evokes a sensory story, said Allison Slater, Sephora Vice President of Retail Marketing. “With the recent launch of Leslie’s new Bare Skin Collection, we’ve asked beauty buffs to join in the storytelling and create their own vacation journal entry for the Leslie Blodgett Perfume Diaries Contest.”

• Complexion – Even out skin tone with Sephora Hydrating Liquid Foundation. Buff on Sephora Mineral Pressed Powder to perfect the look.
• Eyes – Smudge Sephora’s Retractable Waterproof Liner onto upper and lower lash lines and apply shadow all over. It’s a messy, imperfect look so no need to be exact.
