2012 Vanity Fair Oscar Party-Sofia Vergara

COVERGIRL Sofia Vergara at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party by Makeup Artist Kayleen McAdams

· Sexy Italian movie star, Sophia Loren, was our inspiration for Sofia's beauty look.

· I first applied COVERGIRL NatueLuxe Silk Foundation in Nutmeg all over her face, blending into the neck. I then used COVERGIRL TRUconceal Concealer in #4 under the eyes and around the edges of the nose, just where needed to keep the makeup from looking heavy. To set the look, I used COVERGIRL Clean Pressed Powder in Soft Honey, but kept it light to keep from looking cakey.

· I wanted to do a heavily lined eye to give it that sexy Italian feel, so I used COVERGIRL Queen Collection Vivid Impact Eyeliner in Truffle and applied a thick line from the inner to outer corner, giving it a wing shape. I then applied the liner along the bottom lashes from the outer corner to the very inner corner. I used COVERGIRL Queen Collection 1-Kit Eye Shadows in Copper Penny along the bottom lashes and at the outer corner of the eye. I then used COVERGIRL Queen Collection 1-Kit Eye Shadows in Fire It Up in the crease and towards the inner corner of the eye. I finished the eyes with three coats of COVERGIRL LashBlast 24HR Mascara in Very Black so that the lashes would look bold and beautiful throughout the evening.

· I lined the lips first with COVERGIRL LipPerfection Lipliner in Beloved and then filled them in with COVERGIRL LipPerfection Lipcolor in Entwined using a lip brush. I then went back over with the lip liner to prevent the lipstick from bleeding.

· Since we had done a similar look at a shoot the day before, I knew exactly what Sofia wanted to achieve for the party with just a few slight changes. We know all of the COVERGIRL lip colors so well that we went with the shade we love the most to complete the overall look. Before she left for the party, I gave Sofia the powder and lip products we used so she could easily touch herself up throughout the night if she had to.

Sofia Vergara @ Vanity Fair/Elton John’s OSCAR After-Party by Make-Up Artist Beau Nelson

Make-Up Artist Beau Nelson tells how Sofia Vergara's Covergirl look was created.

ENGLISH

I wanted to create an old-Hollywood glamour look inspired by Sophia Loren and Sofia's gorgeous black dress. For her eyes I applied a beige shadow on the lid and brown shadow in the crease then lined the top with COVERGIRL Line Exact in Black for added drama. On the bottom I lined her eyes with COVERGIRL LiquiLineBlast in Brown Blaze and finished the eyes with multiple coats of LashBlast Mascara in Black.

We wanted to keep Sofia's skin fresh and dewy so I applied COVERGIRL NatureLuxe Silk Foundation in Nutmeg for a flawless finish and added COVERGIRL Simply Ageless Sculpting Blush in Plush Peach to give her a natural glow.

I finished her look with a pink/beige lip using COVERGIRL LipPerfection lipcolor in Rush.

Quise crear un look glamoroso al estilo del antiguo Hollywood, inspirado en Sofía Loren y en el precioso vestido negro que lució Sofía.

En el maquillaje de los ojos apliqué una sombra color crema en los párpados y otra sombra café en la curvatura y a continuación, delinee la línea de las pestañas superiores con el delineador COVERGIRL Line Exact en Black para añadir un toque dramático. En la línea de las pestañas inferiores, utilicé el delineador COVERGIRL LiquiLineBlast en la tonalidad Brown Blaze y puse punto final a los ojos con múltiples capas de LashBlast Mascara, en Black.

Quise también mantener el cutis de Sofía fresco y humectado, por lo que apliqué la base COVERGIRL NatureLuxe Silk Foundation en la tonalidad Nutmeg para lograr un terminado bien pulido. Luego apliqué el rubor con el COVERGIRL Simply Ageless Sculpting Blush en Plush Peach para darle a las mejillas un brillo muy natural.

Completé su look con un lápiz labial en rosa/crema usando el creyón COVERGIRL LipPerfection en la tonalidad Rush.

Hilary Swank @ OSCAR’s Red Carpet by Make-Up Artist Monika Blunder

Hilary Swank, Co-Presenter for Best Director Award

Make-Up Artist Monika Blunder tells us how Hilary Swank's Covergirl look was created.

ENGLISH

“I wanted to really play up Hilary’s eyes and I used her gorgeous Gucci Premiere couture dress with beautiful shades of grey and satin as my color inspiration,” shared makeup artist Monika Blunder.

To create the soft but colorful eye look, I blended silvery colors across the eye and then opened up the eyes by using COVERGIRL LiquilineBlast in Silver Spark close to the top and bottom lash line. I used the darker colors on the outside of the eye lid and then the lighter, silver colors in the inside, using COVERGIRL Smoky ShadowBlast in Onyx Smoke to bring out the silver shades of her dress. I then curled the lashes (ten second hold on each eye) and added stunning volume with COVERGIRL LashBlast Volume in Very Black.

To complement Hilary’s eyes, I created a matte, flawless face and peachy cheeks for an overall soft look. I used a feathered blush brush to apply COVERGIRL Simply Ageless Sculpting Blush in Plush Peach in a circular motion to the apples of the cheeks. This creates a very soft, luminous look. To achieve a luxurious skin look at home, try COVERGIRL NatureLuxe Silk Foundation.

For the lips, I went with a very natural look, using COVERGIRL NatureLuxe Gloss Balm in Sandstone to add a pretty flush of luxurious color.

"Quise realmente resaltar los ojos de Hilary y me inspiré en la paleta de su precioso vestido de alta costura de Gucci Premiere, confeccionado en hermosas tonalidades de gris,” comentó la maquillista Monika Blunder.

Para crear el look de los ojos, muy maquillados pero en tonos suaves, mezcle varias tonalidades de plateado a lo largo de los párpados y los abrí utilizando el delineador COVERGIRL LiquilineBlast en la tonalidad Silver Spark cerca de la línea de las pestañas superiores e inferiores. Utilicé los colores más oscuros en la parte externa del párpado y los colores más claros, en plateado, en la parte interna. La sombra que utilicé fue la COVERGIRL Smoky ShadowBlast en la tonalidad Onyx Smoke para enfatizar los tonos plateados de su vestido. A continuación, ricé las pestañas (diez segundos en cada ojo) y les añadí volumen utilizando la mascara COVERGIRL LashBlast Volume en la tonalidad Very Black.

Para complementar los ojos de Hilary, cree un rostro mate y perfectamente parejo y pulido, con mejillas en melocotón para lograr un look delicado en su totalidad. Utilicé una brocha de plumas para aplicar el rubor COVERGIRL Simply Ageless Sculpting Blush en Plush Peach moviendo la brocha de forma circular sobre la parte más alta de las mejillas. Esto logra un efecto suave y luminoso. Para lograr un cutis igualmente parejo y perfecto en casa, pruebe la base COVERGIRL NatureLuxe Silk Foundation.

Para los labios, escogí un look muy natural, utilizando el bálsamo con brillo COVERGIRL NatureLuxe Gloss Balm en la tonalidad Sandstone para resaltar los labios con un hermoso y rico colorido.
