OK, I will be the first to say that I’m not a big fan of Sienna’s personal life (ahem, dating a taken guy, slagging off American cities, etc)… But the girl sure did look nice at the US Premiere of GI Joe last week! Below, some tips on how to get her vintage-glamour look from her Chanel makeup artist, Kate Lee…

Beauty Inspiration:  “Sienna was really keen to embrace the spirit of old Hollywood for the premiere of GI Joe at the Chinese Theatre. The dress was a glamorous YSL silk chiffon encrusted with beads in a kind of neutral colour. “

Beauty Tip: “Hairstylist Adir Abergel and I wanted to create a look that would be classic but modern. It was Sienna’s idea to go with a strong lip. I kept the rest of the make up very neutral, gently sculpting the cheek bones with a mixture of Soleil Tan de CHANEL and CHANEL Powder Blush in Tempting Beige. The eyes were clean and simple to bring the attention to the lip. I used CHANEL Eclat Lumiere in Beige Rose all over the lid and then shaded in the sockets with CHANEL Soft Touch Eyeshadow in Sand. I spent quite a bit of time on the brows to lengthen them, and after lashings of Exceptionnel de CHANEL in Smoky-Noir, I added both individual and cut up strip lashes. The lips were a mixture of two CHANEL Rouge Allure shades, Fatale and Obscure, both launching this Fall.”

Did any of you guys catch the Teen Choice Awards last night? Unsurprisingly the stars of Twilight stole the show… Here’s how to get Ashley Greene’s look, courtesy of Shu Uemura celebrity makeup artist Vanessa Scali:

“Since Ashley was wearing a light blue bustier top and flowery skirt by Dolce & Gabbana, I wanted Ashley to have radiant skin. I used Shu Uemura’s new Red:juvenus skincare line first using the Vitalizing Refining Lotion [editor's note: I LOVE THIS STUFF! I've been using it every night] followed by the Intense Revitalizing Concentrate. These products feel weightless and penetrate quickly leaving the skin energized, refined and radiant. To complete the look, I gave Ashley–who won Teen Choice’s ‘Fresh Face’, a beautiful shimmery taupe eye and a well-blushed cheek. Here’s the product breakdown…

UNDEREYE:  Lancome’s Effacernes in Light Bisque. It gives clean, fresh coverage.

FOUNDATION: Shu Uemura Nobara Cream Cover Stick Foundation. It gives a beautiful, flawless, natural look.

BLUSH: Lancome’s Color Design Blush in Petticoat Pink on the apples of the cheeks.

EYESHADOW: Shu Uemura’s Cream Eye Shadow in P Brown all over the eye lid blending off at the crease and under the bottom lashes close to the lash line.

EYE LINERS: To define and elongate the lash line, I used Shu Uemura’s Painting liner in Black.  I also lined the inner rim of the eye with a matte white pencil.  This is a great way to open the eye.

LASHES: I love luxuriously full lashes and gave Ashley’s a boost by adding Shu Uemura’s Flare Lashes in Black.

MASCARA: One generous coat of Kiehl’s Marvelous Mineral Mascara in Black.

POWDER: In the T-zone only, I used Shu Uemura’s Face Powder in Colorless (matte formula).

LIPS: I used Shu Uemura’s Rouge Unlimited in Wine 296 to stain the lip and finished with a light touch of Gloss Unlimited bg 952s.”

I love coconut. Coconut sorbet, coconut water, and Coconut Body Butter from The Body Shop. It just smells like summer, and wearing it makes me feel like I’m away on a gorgeous beach. Even better than the yummy smell and the super rich moisturizer? The entire Coconut line contains coconut oil that’s been directly sourced from a cooperative in Samoa. That means that all the workers who grow, harvest, and produce the virgin coconut oil (which is also totally organic) used by The Body Shop get fair wages. Not content to stop there, The Body Shop partnered with Samoa’s Women in Business Development, Inc. to form a lasting partnership so that the community will always get a fair deal. Check out their website to find out more, and to see some amazing shots of Samoa!
