Get The Look: Jessica Chastain at the Tree of Life Premiere



I had the terrific pleasure of working with the stunning Jessica Chastain last week for her premiere of "The Tree of Life", the new Terrence Malick movie with her and Brad Pitt and Sean Penn (which just won the Palme d'Or at Cannes!)

You may not know who she is yet, but you will soon.  She's in about a gazillion movies that are coming out this year, so keep your eyes peeled for her on the big screen.

She wore the most incredible Roland Mouret dress (it was green with a chartreuse accent) which looked mazing with her red hair and creamy, pale skin.  We kept the makeup soft and feminine, no need for a statement when you have a dress like that!

Get The Look: Elizabeth Banks at the Met Ball




Old Hollywood Glamour meets modern chic.

We went for a glamour girl look, updating it with a matte warm brown smoky eye, luscious lashes and an orange lip. She looked elegant without looking overly retro.....

I prepped her skin with Yonka's Pamplemousse moisturizer and By Terry lip balm. Then I applied a bit of a dewy foundation where she needed it, and bronzy cream blush before I powdered. For the eyes I primarily used a warm matte brown shadow but used a little bit of a lightly shimmery vanilla color to blend the shadow into the brow bone and a bit of a deeper shimmery brown right at the lash line for a touch of depth. Three coats of mascara on the top lashes and a kiss of mascara on the bottom finished off the eyes. I added a bit more blush in a pale pink shade for a little glow and then finished off the look with a beautiful orangey coral lip.
