Who Wore NARS at The Golden Globes

There's no point in pretending you didn't watch the Golden Globes Sunday night - what counts is why you watched them.  Stars dressed in gowns that cost more than you pull down annually? Deeply intellectual but considerately brief acceptance speeches?  The secret hope that a Melrose Place-style fight breaks out between winners and losers?  

I watch for the makeup.  And Brad Pitt.  But mostly the makeup.  

My favorite: A certain dishy Latina who left her equally cute daughter at home for the night in order to get dolled up for the awards. Turns out, her fresh face was the work of NARS makeup artist Matthew Vanleeuwen. “I made her eyes the focus and added a lot of rich, jewel skin tones and fresh color to her cheeks and lips. Her look was very classic and chic, with some modern textures.”

Of course I had to ask what how he got the look:

Eyes
Apply the China Blue Single Eyeshadow into top and bottom lash line [Matthew’s tip: “I love using navy colors because they make the whites of the eyes pop.”]

Next, use the Corfu Cream Eyeshadow as a base, all over eyelid
Use the golden champagne side of the Alhambra Duo Eyeshadow on lid

Then, use the Bengali Single Eyeshadow all along the lash line, rubbing it into the lash line, deepening the outer corner of the eye, creating shading

Curl the eyelashes and put 2 coats of Black Orchid Mascara on lashes

Go back over top lash line with the Night Clubbing Eyeshadow and use what is left on the brush under the eye to define it [Matthew’s tip:“This shade is perfect to create a smokey eye – it gives a rich sparkle at the lash line with undertones of green and gold.”]

Complexion

Use the Brightening Serum to make skin glow and apply the Makeup Primer

Apply the Firming Foundation and set it with the Loose Powder

Lips

Use the Marnie Lipliner Pencil and Tutti Fruity Lipstick
Next, mix the Boogie Nights and Greek Holiday Lipglosses and apply them over the lipstick

Blush
Apply the Desire Blush to the apple of cheeks [Matthew’s tip: “I use a powder brush to apply blush. I find that a bigger brush makes a much softer wash of color.”]

Next, use the Laguna Bronzer with short, back and forth stokes from the back of cheekbone forward, to blend
