ohhh my melfreya if I could send you a bouquet of flowers I would! thank you very much ! much karma to youuuu! I'll check the highlighters you mentioned next week!!!

[melfreya]

^ I understand your excitement because before I found out about highlighter I was really curious too about what makeup artists used on celebrities to make them glow like that. I never had that ''glow'' using foundations alone, even those who claimed to be light catching or something, so I knew it must be something else..and there was! The ultimate celebrity makeup product!

I can thoroughly recommend Jemma Kidd Dewy Radiance in either colour. It's a cream formula, so they sit really pretty on the skin

sooo...I just ordered the Dolce Gabbana Illuminator in Eva...it's a powder as I prefer that to a liquid one...this week I'll go to the Mac store to have them help me apply blush correctly and to find a brush that I can use for both: the blush and the illuminator...

[melfreya]

happy for you jomarlushka! Please post of a review of the illuminator when you receive it! I haven't tried D&G cosmetics yet and I'm curious to hear what they're like!

[jomarlushka]

So:
I have 2 higlighters:

-Dolce Gabbana Illuminator
-Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector

they are both very different - the D&G is like a powder - you need a brush to apply it and it is not as sparkly as the Becca one. Also: it has a slightly powdery look that makes your skin look rather matté..

the Becca highlighter on the other hand is how I expect a highlighter to be...shiny, and 'illuminating' your skin - in a rather natural way if applied mixed with a bit of foundation and if used in very small dosage and more 'flashy' if applied when wanting to shine while going out!

I find the Becca highlighter my favourite although I do use the D&G on a regular basis during the day as a cheekbone/eye-to-cheekbone-contrast-blush ...it's like wearing a natural skin type blusher that is making the difference when using a foundation that matches your skin tone exactly and therefor highlighting your bone structure...

Michelle Williams @ MET Ball 2011

Michelle Williams had her makeup done by celebrity makeup artist Jeanine Lobell, and she said, “The gold birds on Michelle’s dress really inspired us to go for a golden look… We wanted something chic, but a little edgy to offset the black of the dress. We felt a modern ‘golden smoky eye’ would be cool and fresh, but not washed out.”
Makeup How-to

I started by applying with my fingers, CHANEL Vitalumière Aqua Ultra-Light Skin Perfecting Makeup SPF 15 in Beige-Pastel very lightly all over the face and under the eyes; then I set it with the CHANEL Natural Finish Pressed Powder in Clair – Translucent 1.
For her eyes, I used the CHANEL Quadra Eyeshadow in Mystic Eyes applying the palest shade all over they eye area to act as a base so I was able to smoothly blend the other shades into it. I then applied the softer of the brown shades in the crease of the eye, wrapping it as a smoky liner under the eye. Then I added the darker brown shade in the upper lash line. I used CHANEL Long-Lasting Eyeliner in Espresso inside the eye and as a sharper line on the top eyelash line. Lastly, I used CHANEL Inimitable Intense Mascara in Noir on the top and bottom lashes.
I used the CHANEL Precision Brow Definer in Soft Brown in the brows, above the brow to the outside of the brow, to create an arch and filling in below and on the inside.
I used CHANEL Powder Blush in Tempting Beige, as it works great as a contouring cheek color. I used it under the cheek bone, fanning it up over apples of cheeks. For her lips, I used CHANEL Rouge Coco Shine Hydrating Sheer Lipshine in Canotier for a pale, beige-gold light wash on the lips to keep everything soft and balanced. (temptalia.com)

The gorgeous makeup look that Pati Dubroff, Clarins Celebrity Beauty Artist created for Kirsten Dunst last night at the 2011 MET Gala.

Pati was inspired by Kirsten’s beautiful Chanel dress with sparkling sequins and mineral stones sewn into the bodice. She wanted these natural gems to be reflected in her makeup.
Skin: First the skin was prepped with Instant Smooth Line Correcting Concentrate to fill in any imperfections and help hold foundation. Next, she used a light amount of Skin Illusion Foundation to even the skin without creating a mask. For the blush, she generously applied Blush Prodige in Miami Pink from the apples of the cheeks swept up toward the hairline for a healthy, romantic feel.
Eyes: Playing with the Clarins NeoPastels Eye Palette, Pati created a gorgeous, jeweled eye for Kirsten. She sculpted the bones of her eye with the dusty rose colour, and on the center of the lids used the taupey opal. Finally, she washed the whole eye with the bluish lavender shade – just like an opal stone! One minimal coat of Wonder Perfect Mascara was all that was needed to finish the eyes.

Lips: A soft, violet rose completed the look with Rouge Prodige in Lilac Pink. (talkingmakeup)

Makeup Breakdown

To compliment the Jay Mendel dress in Aubergine, we decided to go for a more graphic eye, paying tribute to Sofia Loren. The brows are groomed up with clear brow set and perfected with M•A•C Eye Brows pencil in Lingering. The eyelids were softly swept with Vex Eye Shadow. Powerpoint Eye Pencil in Permaplum is smudged along the lash line and placed in the crease in a distinct V shape. Shadowy Lady Eye Shadow is pressed into the crease and blended out softly. Blacktrack Fluidline is used to create a sharp luner above and one below. Tons of Zoomlash Black Mascara and of course a #1 Lash to pump up the liner. The cheeks are contoured with Mineralize Blush in Dainty and the lips- a new Sheen Supreme Lipstick called Fashion City. Of course Blot Powder Pressed is making a guest appearance in the heat! — MAC Senior Artist John Stapleton

Makeup Breakdown

Brett Freedman created Stiles’ red carpet look.

Julia has such a great face. This is the first time I worked with her. She’s a doll. Loved her classic mermaid dress in soft pewter. To give the look a touch of edge I opted to give her a smokey eye with plum and gunmetal accents to pair with her downplayed mouth. Bold nails added crispness and a modern twist. I actually did Julia’s hair, too. I Bing’d her looks and decided she was ready for a uber-glam moment. Vintage Hollywood, Veronica Lake waves were in order. Here’s the rundown on her make-up look:

I topped the liner with RimmelLondon Glam’Eyes HD Quad Eyeshadow in Black Cab and English Rose for a soft smokey eye. Then I loaded up her lashes with Rimmel London Lash Accelerator Mascara to make her long lashes even longer.”
“I played up Zooey’s amazing eyes so I wanted to keep the rest of her look neutral, highlighting her cheeks and adding a touch of color to her lips,” says Jorjee. She used Rimmel London Lasting Finish Blendable Blush & Highlighter in Autumn Blush on her cheeks and Rimmel London Lasting Finish Intense Wear Lipstick in Nude Pink on her lips.
