Terri Seymour Learns How To Put On Makeup In A Hurry

Melissa is a UK native who followed her life’s dream to be a professional makeup artist all the way to Hollywood! I’ve spoken with Melissa myself and I can guarantee you that she absolutely loves makeup and beauty.

She has a very long list of UK native celebrities that she has worked with. She currently is a much appreciated celebrity beauty expert to Terri Seymour of the show “Extra.”

Passion for beauty inside out is the name of the game here at True Hollywood Makeup and Melissa most definitely has the goods.

She’s got a great story of picking up Terri at the airport on a tight schedule. Even under the gun with Terri needing to be in front of the camera within the hour, Melissa was able to get her ready and looking fabulous without even blinking an eye.

Here is a great routine that will teach you how to put on makeup in a hurry, and still looking amazing on camera!

This is what I had to do today except it wasn’t my own makeup it was for Terri! Her schedule had changed and as she had just arrived off of a plane and we didn’t have time to stop, I did her full makeup in the car in 10 minutes.

If you get caught out and have to do your makeup on your way to an event (only if you are the passenger PLEASE!) here is how to do it:

First of all get the essential products together in one bag so you aren’t hunting for things when you are in a hurry. We aren’t talking fancy makeup here, just the basics so you look great when you arrive.

Here is a list of products to gather:

Powder Foundation – this is the quickest way to make your skin look great and as it’s in powder form it won’t spill or get messy. Apply extra where you need more coverage to omit the need for concealer.

Powder Bronzer- apply this next with a big fluffy brush all over to give you a glow, take it down your neck and decollete too.

A subtle pink, peach or plum Blush depending on your skin tone – dust this lightly on your cheekbones to brighten your whole face.

One shade of shimmery neutral Shimmery Eyeshadow – put this all over the lid and up to the crease and blend well for a wide awake look. This is not the time for shading and mixing colors. The shimmer will add enough drama for evening.

Eyeliner Pencil in a darkish metallic shade – when the car stops at the light quickly line upper and lower lashes for some definition.

An eyebrow brush or brow gel so you can at least brush your brows into shape.

mascara – wipe the brush on a tissue so that it doesn’t smudge whilst you apply it. Just put one coat on, you can always apply more later at the event.

lipgloss – in a neutral shade so that if a little goes over the edges it’s not a complete disaster.

This should enable you to look fresh and polished when you arrive, no one will ever know how close you were to being caught out!

True Hollywood Makeup is all about giving you a behind the scenes look at the reality of how the most beautiful celebs get polished for the camera. We recently spoke with celebrity makeup artist Erica Maniscalco.

She’s got a very down-to-earth view of natural beauty and how to keep perspective on the supernatural perfection we see every day in the media. She also has a great tip about how to get great lashes! This is a must read.

“Everyone has flaws and imperfections,” explains Maniscalco, “the main difference is that the general population is not in the public eye and they do not have a team to make them look beautiful everyday.”

Below are common facts about lashes.

99% of celebrities wear fake eyelashes. Though when many people think of lashes the word fake come to mind. But lashes do not have to look fake.

There are so many brands and styles to choose from and if applied correctly no one will ever know you are wearing them.

Besides celebrities, lashes are used in every mascara ad on TV and in magazines.

Some tips when applying lashes are:

1. Once they are glued on apply a black liner to cover the strip.

2. Take an eyelash curler to bring your lashes together with the fake ones.

3.  Apply mascara to both your lashes and the fake ones for a finished look.

Celebrity Makeup Tip - Megan Fox

Have you seen that piercing sparkle in Megan Fox’s eyes.  Better yet, have you ever watched any guy stop in his tracks at the mere mention of Megan Fox’s name?  Well you can have that look, too.  Here’s the inside scoop on how she gets it.

To eliminate the possibility of dark circles appearing under the eyes, start by applying a concealer that is a shade or two lighter than your natural skin tone.

Next, to call attention to the eyes and really make them pop, apply a golden tint between the eyebrow and lash line.  To really make blue eyes shine and twinkle add a smokey charcoal shade to the crease.

On your upper lash line apply a single line of eyeliner in one fell swoop.  Slightly curl it upwards toward your temple to give yourself an accentuated sexy feline look.

Of course it never hurts to accentuate your lashes if they need it.  A simple mascara, or in some cases, false lashes can do the trick.  You can finish this look off by using a brow pencil to slightly exaggerate the peak of your eyebrow.

There is a lot of room for your own creativity with this look. Try accentuating one of the features we mentioned while down playing another, and then try the reverse to see what really works for you.  In other words, if you are going to really define the arch of your brown, you may want to ease up on the upward slant of your eyeliner.

Experiment enough and you just might out-do the stunning Megan Fox!
