Vera Farmiga

A clean complexion, rosy cheeks and red lips: it’s the killer combo that is my favorite glammed-up beauty look for this time of year. And actress Vera Farmiga wore it beautifully for the Up In the Air premiere in L.A. on Monday night. (You may remember this actress from The Departed – she’s absolutely stunning on screen and plays George Clooney’s love interest in this latest flick.)

Celebrity makeup artist Tina Turnbow created the look, which she called “simple glamour.” Tina adds, “Her dress was ephemeral – a white, almost Grecian Dolce & Gabbana, and I wanted her makeup look to shine forth her beautiful features, while keeping that simple, effortless air.” Here are the makeup products and steps she used to recreate this look (one that I highly recommend for upcoming holiday parties!).

Face Products: “Vera has a beautiful, fair complexion, so I kept it simple with a lightweight foundation and finished with a light, rosy blush,” says Tina.

Foundation: Almay Pure Blends Mineral Makeup in Fair

Mineral Fusion Blush

Blush: Revolution Organics Freedom Glow Beauty Balm in Blushed (“It’s a beautiful cream stick that creates very natural-looking rosy cheeks.”) and Mineral Fusion Blush in Trace (“A soft, baby pink to highlight cheek bones.”)

Powder: Tarte Provocateur SPF 8 Pressed Mineral Powder & Compact in Fair

Eye Products: Tina says, “I kept the eyes nude, with a bit of pearly shimmer smudged on the lids and beautiful lush lashes.  It was also important that her brows were defined and framed her face.”

Brows: Clarins Pro Palette Eyebrow Kit. (“This all in one kit has everything I need to create the perfect brows – from highlighter to powders to even a holding wax to groom the brows.”)

Jane Iredale Liner

Eyeshadow: Jane Iredale Liquid Eyeliner in Silver (smudged on lids)

Lashes: Origins Full Story Lush Lash Mascara

Lip Products:

ZUZU Luxe Lipstick

Lipstick: ZUZU Luxe Lipstick in Vino D’amour

Finish:

ARCONA Lavender Hydrating Mist (“A light mist to set the makeup and give a little finishing glow.”)
