Celebrity Makeup Eva LaRue

When oil shows up on a celebrity’s t-zone, celebrity makeup artist Allan Avendaño is on the crime scene but needs no investigation. He’s got a de-slick system that keeps celebrity clients shine free for the cameras.

CSI Miami’s Eva LaRue is one of his faithful clients. And here, Allan’s tip that keeps her matte and TV ready.

Eva has the most amazing skin tone and such beautiful features. Here are some makeup tricks Allan Avendaño uses for every occasion, including photo shoots, red carpet events and television interviews.

SKIN: Eva has a smooth and healthy complexion however her t-zone area tends to get a bit shiny. For long-lasting shine control, I use Make Up For Ever’s ALL MAT Face Matifying Primer before applying her foundation.

After the foundation is applied, Make Up For Ever’s HD Microfinish Powder is applied lightly all over the face. Note that the HD Powder is amazing for motion cameras but will reflect light when used for still photographs.

The key is to dust lightly, making sure that the powder is blended evenly on the face to avoid “white reflections” in photographs.

Thanks to Allan for this True Hollywood Makeup tip!

Controlling Oily Skin

“This procedure will help deeply cleanse the pores leaving your skin soft and revitalized.

You will need: A gentle soap, a soft bristled toothbrush, the entire peel of an orange, lemon and grapefruit and one liter of distilled water.

Step 1

Cleanse your face as you usually would if you are using soap.

Make sure to use a neutral soap to avoid anything that may be too harsh for your skin. Take the soap and create a thick lather, take a gentle brush (you may use a soft tooth brush) and gently exfoliate with the brush in a circular motion throughout the entire face especially on your T-zone for approximately 3-5 minutes.

Do this step 2-3 times a week. If you have sensitive skin only do this twice a week.

Step 2 – Homemade Toner

Once finished with step number 1, take 1 liter of distilled water and add the peel of the orange, lemon and a grapefruit and bring to a boil. Pour the mixture into a clean glass container and refrigerate until cool.

Take a cotton ball and pour your homemade toner and dab your entire face with it. Do this before and after step number 1.  Never use a normal toner because they usually are high in alcohol making your skin too dry.

This homemade toner will help close your pores and help control your oily skin. Note: Since this toner is homemade it will only last for about a week.
