2010 Golden Globes Get the Look: Jane Krakowski (aka my twin)

67th Annual Golden Globe Awards - Press Room

So I would say that people tell me how much I look like 30 Rock’s Jane Krakowski oh about maybe four times a month and I really do love her makeup from last night’s 2010 Golden Globes.  Here’s how to get the look from her makeup artist, Rebecca Restrepo:

“The overall inspiration was old hollywood with a modern twist. She wanted a chic and modern beauty look to match the look of her dress. I started by prepping the skin with a light moisturizer, then lightly applied COVERGIRL Simply Ageless concealer under the eyes using my ring finger followed by COVERGIRL Simply Ageless Foundation all over the skin with a wet sponge. I then applied COVERGIRL Simply Ageless Blush in Plush Peach with my fingers to the apples of her cheeks for a healthy glow and defined cheekbones. To finish the face, I lightly dusted COVERGIRL Microminerals FInishing Veil to set the look and create a soft shimmer look.

On her eyes, I used COVERGIRL Eye Enhancers 4-kit in Sheerly Nudes, applying the taupe shade all over the lid and along the lash line to the crease. I then added a touch of the lightest cream shade to the inner corner of the eye for a subtle pop. To add a bit of definition, I applied a gray matte shadow to the crease. For added drama, I lined her eyes with COVERGIRL Line Exact in black. To finish the eyes, I applied two coats of COVERGIRL LashBlast Volume followed by two coats of COVERGIRL LashBlast Length for dramatic, long lashes.

On her lips I applied a shear coat of COVERGIRL Lipstain in Teasing Blush followed by COVERGIRL Amazemint Lip Gloss in No Care Bare to soften the lip color and add just a hint of shine. “

COVERGIRL launches “CoverGirl Clean Makeup For Clean Water” Campaign

So I’m embarassed to say that I had no idea that more than 4,000 children die every day from diseases caused by unsafe drinking water.  This fact is unfathomable considering how much water we, as Americans, use every day and completely take for granted.  This is exactly why I was super excited when I heard about COVERGIRL’s new campaign- they partnered with the Children’s Safe Drinking Water (CSDW) program, an organization dedicated to addressingthe critical, global need for clean, safe drinking water.  In celebration of the millions of loyal COVERGIRL Clean Makeup users, they decided to contribute $500,000 to CSDW.  A-mazing.

Wanna get involved?  You can enter an online contest by submitting a short video explaining how you give back to make the world a better place and why this makes you beautful, both inside and out.  Here’s the best part- for every entry received, COVERGIRL will provide one week’s worth of clean drinking water to a child in need.  Entrants also have a chance to win a humanitarian trip to Africa as part of the next Clean Makeup for Clean Water mission.  Visit www.covergirl.com/cleanforclean to enter!

CoverGirl LashBlast Length Mascara

So I pretty much love every CoverGirl mascara that I’ve ever tried.  Somehow they manage to continuously outdo themselves every time they introduce a new mascara into the mass cosmetics market.  With that said, their latest, LashBlast Length, gives you ultra-long lashes that won’t break or flake off for all day impact.  The super-length brush is their longest brush ever and gives you expert precision and control that really helps to create individualized, clump-free lashes…the brush is seriously nuts…it has over 450 fine bristles (20% more than LashBlast Volume)!
