On Claire Dane
Jackie Says: Claire Danes looked beautiful at last night’s awards with very classic makeup that was careful applied not to age this glamorous young star. Emphasis was cleverly drawn to the lips with a gorgeous slick of satin-finish lipstick. Get red carpet glamour simply with well-applied red lips paired with toned-down eyes. You just want a bit of iridescence to give the eyebrows a lift and the brow-bone a sheen.
Try Bella Pierre’s Shimmer Powder in Champagne, a soft sparkle and aptly-named shade for the occasion. Cover the lips with some of your chosen foundation to provide a base and to give the lippy something to cling to. Pick a lip liner in the same shade and outline the lips then fill in wit the pencil, again to help create a base.
The secret to long-lasting red lips is to build up layers of colour with a good soft brush and blot after each application. I recommend Cosmetics a La Carte’s limited edition long-lasting, deep, velvet red called Dr Rita Lip Queen after the eminent cosmetic Dr of the stars Rita Rakus.
On Kate Winslet
Jackie says: Kate’s look last night was really spot-on. It was all about clear, flawless line-free, plump, healthy skin and the no-makeup look. Her skin was gorgeous, look at the sheen on her forehead and across the apples of the cheeks reflecting the red carpet lighting.
The key to getting this look is about your preparation and tools. You really have to prep the skin so well and ensure that you have used a delicate scrub regularly for the days leading up to the occasion. Karin Herzog Mild Scrub is perfect for this with its fine marble powder spheres to slough off dead skin without any abrasive action. Moisturise thoroughly and remove any excess with a facial tissue. Moisturiser helps provide a base for your makeup to adhere to.
Try out a primer over the top of your moistuirser to help minimize lines, even the skin tone and close open pores. Avon’s Magix Face Perfector is a great one and helps reduce oil and shine in all the wrong places over the face so you can apply a sheen in all the right places. Use a soft fan-shaped brush lightly dipped in a light iridescent powder across all the surfaces of the face that light naturally hits such as the nose, forehead, cheeks and chin.
