Actress Nikki Reed made her mark last night on the NYC red carpet premiere of The Twilight Saga: New Moon, along with costar Kristen Stewart. mark Celebrity Makeup Artist Jamie Greenberg spills her top secret tips to create Nikki’s understated, yet elegant look.

Jamie Greenberg Explains How to Get Nikki’s Radiant look:

Eyes

“Nikki has gorgeous dark eyes that I really wanted to play up. I started by smudging mark Eyemarker Color On Line in Java along her upper lash line, followed by two coats of mark Scanda-Lash Hook Up Mascara on the top lashes. For her bottom lashes, I took the tip of the mascara wand and carefully coated each lash for definition, then brushed it out with the wand for separation. I finished by applying mark I-mark Custom Pick Eyeshadow in Nomadic to her lids and Fairy Dust in her crease.”

Face

“I applied mark Face Xpert Flawless Touch Makeup in Natural to create a smooth canvas followed by mark Get Bright Hook Up Highlighter under her eyes to hide any signs of dark circles. I finished by applying a combination of mark Good Glowing Custom Pick Powder Blush in Cameo Glo to the apples of her cheeks, and mark Glow Xpert Face Shimmer in Champagne to the top portion to really bring out the contours of her cheekbones. To create an overall matte finish, I used mark Cheat Sheet Shine Blotters.”

Lips

“To finish off her look, I used mark Dew Drenched Moisturlicious Lip Color in Toffee on her lips, with a layer of mark Pro Gloss Hook Up Plumping Lip Shine in Spice for added shine.”

I finally got the chance to try some Illamasqua Intense Lipgloss and its a fabulous as I hoped. The color looks crazy vibrant in the tube and at first I was worried it might be too much for my pale complexion. Upon my trial run though I noticed while it had tremendous vibrancy the color was just perfect and more mellow than in looks in the tube.

The gloss is the perfect texture not too sticky and not so thin it disappears in a few minutes. A great gloss and I love the tube its fun and different from the others I drag around

Kate Somerville- Anti Bac Clearing Lotion

Love it! Love it!

I have very sensitive skin not to mention frequent break outs. This has been a life saver!
When I have a pimple, I put this on twice a day and after approx. 48 hours my skin is clear. The smell is not offensive and is easy to apply.
The only con with this product is you have to be careful or it will bleach light fabrics.

Nowadays, it is more common than ever for women to give birth via a Cesarean section. Whether attributed to a women’s individual health or because many women are giving birth later in life, this delivery method is steadily growing in popularity. According to recent studies conducted at Harvard Medical School, “one in three babies is born via C-section, which is a 50% increase over the past decade.” Recognizing the trend, Belli, the world’s safest skincare line available to address the specific issues of pregnant women, new moms and babies, has created the Surgical Scar Reducer, a solution to help new moms reclaim their body post-delivery.

“New moms tend to feel self-conscious about the effect their pregnancy has had on their bodies,” says Annette Rubin a mother and Founder of Belli. “Recovering from giving birth is no walk in the park – but for moms who have undergone a C-section, they now have an additional surgery recovery time to worry about. Added on top of that is an obvious scar.” Belli has created an entire line of safe and effective products to help new moms get their skin back into shape post-pregnancy; and Belli’s Surgical Scar Reducer is a perfect dermatologist-recommended solution to C-section scars and other surgical incisions.

Belli’s Surgical Scar Reducer

This product contains active ingredients of Silicone Gel which has been shown to be effective in reducing in the appearance of scars and surgical incisions and Vitamin E which is well known for its wound healing properties. Best results can be seen if applied daily for four to six weeks after wound has healed completely.

Belli’s Surgical Scar Reducer can also be used to lighten scars or surgical incision of any age.

I have always been a HUGE N.V. Perricone fan. As you can probably tell from all my Perricone reviews.  If I had more money, I think I would always be stocked up on their products, because they really are absolutely AMAZING. They are probably the only brand I like - across the board. I’ve never tried a product I don’t like. And this definitely was no exception. This No Foundation Foundation is revolutionary, let me tell you. I shy away from foundation - it’s hard to find one that works with my skin.  But of course - darn you Perricone! This product works, and is absolutely heavenly!

Introducing the first advanced anti-aging translucent foundation!

As a dermatologist to some of the most famous faces in the world, their special needs often become inspiration for the creation of new products. When more than one celebrity make-up artist asked Dr. Perricone for a type of foundation that would let the skin’s natural radiance and beauty shine through, No Foundation Foundation was born.

Created to keep skin looking dewy and flawless, this unique formula delivers many benefits of a traditional foundation without the heavy matte finish, which emphasizes the tiniest skin imperfections. No Foundation Foundation is a multi-purpose product that provides natural translucent coverage, corrects skin undertones, instantly smoothes fine lines and boosts skin’s natural moisture throughout the day, all the while delivering antioxidant benefits.
