I usually do her makeup for the fashion factories so that she is confident her make up will last all day and that her skin will look flawless while she is off doing her thing and giving lots of skin advice.

Jennifer openly says she has her skin problems just like the rest of us so we use makeup strategically to give her that flawless base. Her foundation is made up of layers! First I used Clarins Beauty Flash Balm, then a thin layer of face and body foundation C4, after that I used Studio Fix foundation in Nc20 to add coverage where needed.

Jennifer tends to get shine throughout the day so I set everything with Studio fix powder in C3.5 and finally some Prep and Prime transparent loose powder on the T-zone. I used Bobbi Brown bronzing powder to contour in ‘medium’ with MAC ‘Springsheen’ blusher.

For her eyes I used the MAC Warm Neutral x 15 palette. I put a MAC Pro longwear Paint Pot in ‘Girl Friendly’ all over the lid as the base. I then used ‘Honeylust’ (pinky gold eyeshadow colour) on the lid and I buffed out a mixture of ‘Dark Brew’ and ‘Dance in the Dark’ from her upper lash line, winged it out and blended it into the socket line. Jenn liked a winged out, ‘cat eye’ effect on her eyes so I always create that shape no matter what colours I’m using. I stamped some ‘Dark Brew’ into the lower lash line and pulled it down under the eye with the bronzy colour ‘Unwind’ from the palette.

I finished off her eyes with a slick flick of Blacktrack gel liner and a few little Penneys individual lashes on the corners of her lids.

I used my new Measurable Difference Brow palette to fill out her brows.

On her lips is a combo you will often see on Jennifer because I love it on her! It’s MAC ‘Spice’ lip pencil with ‘Blankety’ lipstick. Jenn has a ridiculous ability to keep her lipstick in place ALL day long that most of us ladies are not blessed with but I always use some MAC Prep and Prime lip underneath just in case. It stops the lipsitck bleeding, looking chapped and keeps it in place as long as possible.

Ain’t she just gorgeous:)
