Looks We Love: Jenna Fischer
If anyone knows how to take her look from The Office to the Emmys, it’s Jenna Fischer. When figuring out her makeup palette for the Emmys, Jenna and her makeup artist, Molly Stern, decided that they “ wanted to keep it simple and neutral, so that it wouldn’t compete with her gorgeous, vintage Versace gown.”
Here, Stern shares with us the behind the scenes beauty break down on how she got Fischer red-carpet ready. Follow along for a look just like hers:
- To start, I prepped Jenna’s skin with Jurlique Lavender Hydrating Mist, then lightly moisturized her skin with SK-11 Facial Treatment Essence.
- Next, I applied as a base and gave her cheeks the perfect glow—flushed, but not too rosy—with CoverGirl Simply ageless Sculpting Blush in Plush Peach.
- To give Jenna’s eyes a sublte yet smoky effect, I covered the lid with By Terry’s Ombre Blackstar in Bronze Fire, then dusted over it with a metallic beige shadow [one of two in] the NARS Duo in Rajasthan and also applied it in the crease of the eye. Along her lash line, I smudged out the CoverGirl Liquiline Blast in Brown Blaze, then coated her lashes with CoverGirl LashBlast Fusion in Brown.
- Finally, we wanted her lip to look defined yet super soft, so I went with Josie Maran Magic Marker Lip and Cheek Stain in Mambo and topped it with CoverGirl Wetslicks Amazemint Lipgloss in Freedom of Peach.
Jenna then turned to celebrity hair stylist for TRESemmé, Mara Roszak, to tousle her tresses. “We really wanted to keep her hair fresh and pretty with a sexy, bed head texture,” says Roszak. To get this look:
- Start by parting your hair slightly off center when it’s damp.
- Next, apply Phytovolume Actif Volumizer Spray all over your head at the roots, and a pea-size amount of to ends.
- Use a medium-size round brush to blow the hair dry and add volume. Then, create waves with a 1 1/4 inch barrel iron, rotating the direction of the wave [rolling the iron upward the root for some and under toward the nape of the neck for others] and leaving the ends of the hair out for a more natural feel.
- Gently tease the crown for a little extra height, then break up the waves you’re your fingertips. Keep strands in place with a spritz of Leonor Greyl Voluforme Hair Spray.
Looks We Love: Drew Barrymore
We are currently obsessing over Drew Barrymore—and the naturally gorgeous look she flaunted at The Late Show with David Letterman this week in New York City. We’re actually loving it so much that we tracked down the makeup artist behind the scenes, the talented Debra Ferullo, to give us the inside scoop on what products she used to enhance this bombshell’s beauty:
“I started by prepping her face with La Mer The Moisturizing Lotion. Then, I patted on primer [to help the look stay], followed by La Mer The Treatment Fluid Foundation.” [For a flawless complexion—and to avoid unsightly streaks—press or stipple the formula into skin with a damp round sponge, applying it only on the areas you need it most to keep the coverage from looking cakey.]
“I then lined her entire eye [upper and lower lashlines] with a Brown Eye Pencil by MAC and smudged it out [to soften it up a bit],” adds Ferullo. To give her gaze a more smoky effect, “I topped the liner with CoverGirl Shadow Blast Shadow Stick in Gold, and finished off the look with three coats of Fresh Supernova Mascara in Black.”
To mimic a naturally flushed look on her cheeks, “I used Smashbox Blush Rush in Bright Fuscia and applied it with a big, fluffy brush to give it a softer feel.” And to get that barely-there yet glossy lip, “I swiped on MAC Lipstick in Please Me and topped it off with CoverGirl Shine Blast Lip Gloss in Aglow.
You don't have to go retro to give a nod to the past. These updated looks are strong, sexy and decidedly 2010.
