In the beginning of December I went up to NYC with our Inspired Style team to shoot a couple of fun segments coming up for our next season! (YAY, I CAN HARDLY WAIT!)

While I was there, I had the pleasure of hanging out with Erin, one of the fabulous makeup artists from tarte! She prepped me for a full day of shooting and I asked her to share exactly what she used on me so that I could then share with you!

So here is the exact formula on how to create a camera ready look for your upcoming holiday parties:

Complexion:

1. Start with tarte's Flawless Primer

2. Apply the CC-brightener under eye cream to your under eye to cover up dark circles/bags

3. Apply the Amazonian Clay Full Coverage Foundation to your entire face.

4. Highlight under your eyes and the high planes of your face with Maracuja Creaseless concealer in a shade lighter than your foundation.

5. Set all liquid foundation with the Translucent pressed powder

6. Next use Park Ave Princess Bronzer to contour your face.

7. Next Apply blush to the apples of your cheeks. (For me Erin used "Exposed" with a pop of "Fearless" Cheekstain.

Eyes:

1.Use tarte’s Amazonian clay brow mousse to fill your brows.

2. Highlight your brow bone with Amazonian Clay concealer (she used light on me)

3. Prime the eyelids with the CC eye shadow primer (Note: this will be a complete game changer when it comes to acing your eye makeup. The primer will keep your make up in place all day/night and will make it easier to blend!

4. Erin used the tartelette eyeshadow palette on me.

5. She started with the color Super Mom on the lid (lol Super Mom, that’s me!)

6. Then use the color Force of Nature in the crease of my eye

7. Next came the color Power Player in the outer crease

8. She used Bombshell in the outer corners to smoke out the look

9. Finally she smudged Power Player along the lower lash line with a bit of Bombshell in the outer corners.

10. Erin then used tarte’s Amazonian clay waterproof liner in black along my lash line and Lights, Camera, Lashes inner rim liner in black. (Note: I ALWAYS wear inner rim liner.. I feel naked when I don’t!)

11. She then topped off my eye look with my favorite mascara—Lights, Camera, Lashes 4-in-1 mascara in black.

So there you have it! The notes of a true make up expert all at your finger tips! I can't wait to see what kind of look you put together for your holiday events. I know you are going to look beautiful.
