GET THE LOOK: A SINGLE MAN'S JULIANNE MOORE

STEP BY STEP: Get Julianne Moore's makeup Look from "A SINGLE MAN"

I was given a request to post on how to do Julianne Moore's makeup from the TOM FORD directed masterpiece, A SINGLE MAN. I will do my best for them and for you. This is vital 1960's fashion.
Very Chic and stylish. I'm my attempt to  create a step by step how to do makeup, i am going to be pretty vague on specific products as to let you play and create form your own stuff.

So here we go!

1. SKIN
Julianna's skin looks very natural as you can still see her freckles on her face. So try a Tinted moisturizer, make sure it contains SPF please. Then set it with some loose powder for a matte finish, i would suggest Makeupforever's HD Finishing Powder.

2.EYES
 For your eyes start by using a pale eye shadow across the lid, you can choose how dramatic you want to go, i suggest using something matte finish, maybe try Smashbox Vanilla, MAC paints in Bare Canvas or the IT stick from Benefit.

a. again with a matte finish, take a dark shadow to the crease of your eye and contour to create depth leaving the top lid white. examples Sable, deep Purples?

b. Line the top of the lid winging it out at the end, i like Smashbox Limitless Liquid Liner pen, its amazing for doing winged liner. Line the under eye with a charcoal, brown or black liner and smudge just a taste.

c.  Line the insides of the lower rims with a white liner pencil, there are some great ones out there too.
MAC Pale Yellow is awesome.

d.  layer on your favorite mascara and apply a strip or a few individual for pop. start center and corners

3.  CHEEKS
I think cheeks are not center stage in this look so use something soft , a cream blush would be great, id say try TARTES Tipsy


4.  LIPS
And to top of this look apply a natural lipstick, nude or pale coral would be sweet. oh and i can't believe i am saying this but no gloss, try a lipstick  with luster.

There you go I hope That was helpful!

I'm A TARTE and I love it! Something New From Tarte

Something Brand New From the Guys at TARTE COSMETICS: 

AMAZONIAN CLAY LONG-WEAR BLUSH

 Imagine my surprise and delight when I received a box of goodies from the amazing people at TARTE COSMETICS, yesterday. I received these brand spanking new blushes that will be sold exclusively at Sephora stores only. I immediately tried them out on me, sorry no photos thank you, and I have to say they are amazing. Infused with clay gathered from the banks of the Amazon River and solar baked(by the sun) These are great from all skin types for a fade free flawless finish for 12 hours(this i have yet to see, we will test this on set). These blushed are inspired by TARTES best selling and highly popular cheek stains and lip tints. They can be used alone or along with a cheek tint for an extra pop.

These Blushes are great for any skin type

• Oily Skin: Amazonian clay minimizes oil in and around pores to balance skin and keep product in place

• Dry Skin: Amazonian clay hydrates skin naturally to restore moisture so your blush wears better & longer

• Dull Skin: Amazonian clay improves the appearance of skin clarity and skin texture

• Combination Skin: Amazonian clay is completely intuitive; gives skin an overall smooth & even appearance

Lip stains are awesome on a film or TV set, They can give you a Strong bold color or the subtlest of just the right hit of color to any ones lips. You can jazz them up but adding your favorite clear gloss to them as well. And they are great for layering other color over then, sometime you just can't get those last looks on set that you want, so using stains under another lip product  is good, so that your never with out lip color of some sort.

SMOOTH & CONCEAL WITH TARTE THE ERASER CONCEALER

My Friend Actress Becky Wu, just reminded me a few minutes ago just how much I love Tarte The Eraser Concealer.  I love the idea of a concealer and brush all in one, it's easy to get to when your in a hurry and its cleaner. I throw one in every one's set bag, I find that not only does it conceal under eyes with a smoothing texture that blends easy and evenly, but it's great for touch ups on the skin, much easier then lugging a bottle of foundation around.

The Eraser gives you medium to full coverage and unlike most concealers that just hide the issues we need to conceal, The Eraser, contains ingredients that help treat and smooth irritated skin and blemishes.

It contains: Safflower seed oil, Arnica flower extract (known to reduce darkness) Cucumber extract, vitamin C, vitamin E, and its dermo tested. There's goodness in every tube.

I love it and i think you may too.........xoxo myke oh and its vegan!
