Introducing the new NARS Larger Than Life Lip Gloss. This innovative and unique formula is infused with ingredients to nourish lips and fight free radicals, while natural lip enhancers provide volume.

Jessica Biel At The Time 100 Gala

Posted: 25 Apr 2013 09:47 AM PDT

Celebrity makeup artist Beau Nelson and celebrity hairstylist Anthony Campbell worked with Jessica Biel for the Time 100 Gala on Tuesday, April 23rd, 2013 in New York, NY. TM has the details on Jessica's sexy, smoky look.

Jessica Biel

BEAUTY INSPIRATION:

"Jessica has beautiful skin and stunning green eyes that I wanted to play up. I thought giving her a sexy sultry warm brown smoky eye would look great with her Tom Ford dress.

GET THE LOOK:

FACE

"After applying CHANEL Sublimage La Crème and CHANEL Sublimage La Crème Eye, I used Giorgio Armani Designer Lift Foundation on a synthetic brush in small circular motions to buff into the face.

I contoured the face with Tom Ford Shade and Illuminate in Shade 1 and added further shape and dimension with NARS Bronzing Powder in Laguna. I added a touch of color to the cheeks with Burberry Blush in Tangerine."

EYES

"On eyes I defined the shape with MAC Eye Pencil in Coffee and blended shades from Tom Ford Eye Color Quads in Cognac Sable and Cocoa Mirage around the eyes. I lined the inner rim of the eye with Elizabeth Arden Smoky Eyes Powder Pencil in Espresso. I curled lashes and applied L’Oreal Voluminous Mascara in Carbon Black.

LIPS

"On lips I used NARS Satin Lip Pencil in Biscayne Park and Tom Ford Ultra Shine Lip Gloss in Peach Absolute.

I finished the look by applying Tom Ford Illuminating Highlight Pen in Citrine on the tops of cheekbones and the cupid’s bow of lips."

HAIRSTYLIST ANTHONY CAMPBELL

BEAUTY INSPIRATION:

"The inspiration for this look was from an image of Brigitte Bardot that Jessica showed me. We decided to do something with a little of the feel of the image, the bangs kicked off to either side."

GET THE LOOK:

"We put a slightly textured wave in the hair with a one and a half inch curing iron. Then I backcombed the crown and gave a slight bump for some added volume. Next I twisted and pinned back the front of either side to the back for some softness around the face and to open up the neckline of the dress. I used Oribe Thickening Spray for the blow dry. Finally I used Oribe Superfine Strong Hairspray section by section to put the wave in and Oribe Après Beach Spray to make it piecey and add texture."

Kim Kardashian 2013 MTV Movie Awards

INSPIRATION: "We wanted a really simple, chic blow out. Kim's been trying to grow her bangs out, so I created a deep part to pull the bangs to the side. We kept the blowout sleek with a little bit of texture."

TIPS/TECHNIQUE: "I used Living Proof Prime Style Extender while Kim's hair was still damp so that her style would last all night. Then I blew it dry with a round brush to create the sophisticated blow out. I created a very deep part to tuck her bangs to the side. I used Hold Flexible Hairspray throughout her hair to create texture and a piecy look. I also used it to keep the bangs tucked away."

PRODUCTS: PRIME STYLE EXTENDER ($20), HOLD FLEXIBLE HAIRSPRAY ($24)

What’s In My Beauty Bag

What’s In My Beauty Bag


What’s In My Beauty Bag

Posted: 12 Apr 2013 04:14 PM PDT

Spring is officially here! It’s exciting to finally see more sunshine, and to, of course, look good. So here is a sample of what's in my beauty bag to help me feel good.

For my skin, and especially the skin on my face, I love Simple Skincare products. I don’t believe you need to use fancy or expensive skincare products to keep your skin in shape and looking amazing. I like to wash my face with Simple Moisturizing Facial Wash in the shower or to help remove makeup and dirt. It feels very creamy, yet light, refreshing and super gentle to my skin. I also love the Simple Eye Make-Up Remover Pads. This one is a must-have. Just wipe and go. I seriously can’t function without these. Both products are fragrance free, which is a god sent, ha. Don’t like perfumes on my skin.

For my hair I’ve discovered U Luxury, aka United Luxury Shampoo & Conditioner – a UK brand. It smells light and very moisturizing without weighing my hair down.

fuzz off by Bliss is great and smells good. I like to use it when I travel because it’s literally mess-free. I’m a wax fanatic, but sometimes wax is a lot of steps as opposed to just ‘fuzz off’ LOL. Of course, all skins are not created equal, and it's important to test this product before you use on your face. BTW – no need for an applicator… it is built in! Perfect.

Q-Tips Precision Tips are the NEW shape of Q-Tips that are perfect for makeup touch ups and even applying lip gloss or lipstick especially red lipstick. Q-Tips are so underrated – they are a must-have.

Lavanila Lemon deodorant is a more gentle form of deodorant without all the chemicals that are in normal deodorants. From all the Lavanilla ’flavors’ I like their NEW Lemon one. Can’t go wrong with lemon fresh.

L’Occitane Armande Foot Cream is very good for getting rid of dry lines and patches on my feet (you know what I’m talking about). In the Spring and Summer when my feet are so exposed, this products is a savor.

I carry Jane Iredale powder foundation in my purse at all times. It’s great for touch-ups and even to up my coverage if needed on the go. It’s perfect for sensitive skin and for all of you who hate beauty products that are too heavy and full of ‘bad ingredients’.

Happy Spring everyone <3

My beauty picks for the day…ZOYA GODIVA Pixie Dust is a beautiful and very sparkly, almost caviar like texture, nude nail polish and is perfect for the office or night out. Kiehl’s Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate is light and has an interesting texture when you apply to face, it turns thicker, the magic ingredient is Vitamin C. Avon ANEW Absolute Even is great because it is light and designed to even out my imperfect complexion.
