What do Michelle Pfeiffer, Kim Basinger, Charlize Theron, Cate Blanchett, Liv Tyler, Natalie Portman, Heather Graham, Salma Hayek, Cameron Diaz, Jada Pinkett, Jennifer Lopez, Minnie Driver AND Kate Winslet all have in common, besides being among the most beautiful women in show business? They all choose Jeanine Lobell (creator of the Stila makeup line) to make them look beautiful for big events.
To get gorgeous for your big day, follow Jeanine's expert advice:
- Use a cream blush applied after the foundation, before powder. This will be long-wearing and give a glow from within.
- Apply lip liner evenly all over your lips, under your lipstick. This will make your lip color last longer. And when your lipstick does fade, it will fade evenly without leaving only the outer lip liner.
- Apply a small dollop of lip gloss to the center of your mouth to make lips appear fuller.
- Apply a shimmer-type product lightly on top of your cheekbones to highlight your face.
- Always use waterproof mascara and avoid applying any mascara to bottom lashes. If you must, be spare.
- Wait until you are through putting on all your makeup before you apply finishing powder. Once powder is set, it is more difficult to touch up foundation or hide nervous blemishes.
- Avoid black or very dark eyeliner. It will make your eyes appear smaller in pictures. Instead, try smoky soft grays or plums, which will be softer and more flattering.
- Keep your eye shadow light and shimmery, again to avoid making the eyes appear smaller.
- Avoid waxing or facials right before the wedding. Give your face five days off before the big event.
- Throw some shimmer on shoulders and décolletage. This always looks great in moderation.
- Add a few fake lashes to the outer corners of your eyes. This will open and lift your eyes. However, be sure to use a waterproof adhesive!
- If your skin is oily, avoid applying moisturizer before foundation.
- Stick to a classic look. Avoid trends, as they will look dated in pictures.
- Be happy and look like the prettiest version of yourself. Don't try to be anyone but yourself on the day. Remember -- he picked YOU.
