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!
