Rachel McAdams is a natural beauty in the Holiday film The Family Stone.  Want to know how she does it?  She uses an eco-friendly skin care line called Sponge with products that are based in olive oil with organically grown herbs. Primer is also a necessity! Besides keeping your foundation on your face all day, primer makes your makeup look smooth and evenly distributed. Try Smashbox’s Photo Finish Primer. A foundation brush also helps you create a more natural, polished look. When using it to apply your foundation, concentrate on the focus areas which need covering up like the center of the face and blend outward toward the jaw line.

Finish the look with a translucent powder like Maybelline Finishing Veil Transluscent Powder. Translucent works better than pressed powder for a lightweight, fresh look.  The reason Rachel McAdams’ face looks so natural is that she hasn’t over-applied foundation.

There’s no denying that Drew Barrymore always looks stunning, but this pretty girl look suits her very well. The soft, flushed cheeks light up her face and make her look younger. This is the kind of look that looks great on almost everyone, and is perfect for Fall/Winter.

Here’s how you can get it:

1.  Prep the skin with a hydrating, water based foundation. This will leave the skin looking fresh and feeling natural, while covering any little imperfections you may have.
2. Use a light natural looking eye shadow, like a tan, brown or beige. Give your upper and lower lashes a coat of lengthening mascara and the eyes are done.
3. For the cheeks, opt for a pink cream blush and smooth it on with your fingertips. A cream blush will give you a soft, dewy finish and brilliant color. Apply it to the apples of your cheeks, and blend it up towards your temples. The warmth of your skin helps blend the color into cheeks.
4. Apply a shiny pink gloss to the lips.
5. Mist Skindinavia’s finishing spray all over the face to keep the look in place.

Contoured cheeks a la Leighton Meester

Contoured cheeks are synonymous with Fall and this season is no exception. Rouged cheekbones, like the ones seen here on Leighton Meester, are an easy way to add definition to your face, make it look thinner and quickly turn your makeup look trendy.

If only we could all be born with naturally high and defined cheek bones. Most of us, however, need a little help to get the perfect contour and shape. Here’s how to create a Leighton-like look in three easy steps. First, apply a primer on your face to help to create an even surface for your makeup. Then apply a foundation that’s one or two shades darker than your skin tone to the area of your cheeks that hollows out when you pucker up. Blend well, so that there’s no line.

Use a peachy apricot or a brown-based blush on the apples of your cheeks and be sure to blend well. Lastly, shine and define. Use a light golden or shimmery yellowish powder on the area right above your cheekbones. One swipe with the brush should be enough for a glowing accent. Finish with Skindinavia’s Original Finishing Spray to keep your sexy contoured cheeks in place.

Pippa Middleton does big brows right!

If you’ve seen any recent catwalk pics you may have noticed that big brows are back! Well-groomed brows are the name of the game this summer but don’t go too thick or too thin.

Eyebrows are the most under-appreciated feature on your face with arguably the most impact, and we’re huge advocates of anything that supports our case against makeup excess. What better way to lighten the cosmetic load than to let your luscious brows be front and center?

The celebrity of the moment advocating the trend is Pippa Middleton is with her shapely eyebrows that frame her natural face.  Several other celebrities like Leighton Meester and Mary Kate Olsen are all growing out their thin caterpillars for hotter bushier eyebrows  – so don’t over-pluck just to fill it in with a layer of brow powder.

Take the time to shape your brows to get that perfect arch, and use a brow powder to accentuate your existing brows. Super-sculpted and shapely brows are also the perfect complement to some of this summer’s top eye makeup trends.
