Get The Look: Anna Chlumsky at the 67th annual Emmy Awards

I am a big fan of makeup artist to the stars Melanie Inglessis and she does not disappoint. Anna Chlumsky looked simply elegant last night and below is how she got the look....

MAKEUP BY: Melanie Inglessis, for MAKE UP FOR EVER

INSPIRATION: “I wanted to create an elegant, yet modern makeup look that would match Anna’s ethereal dress.”

TIPS/TECHNIQUE: “To begin Anna’s look, I started by prepping her skin with the MAKE UP FOR EVER Step 1 Skin Equalizer Hydrating Primer to create a great base for her makeup. 

Next I applied the new MAKE UP FOR EVER Ultra HD Liquid Foundation which is the first foundation to meet the needs of 4K technology, appearing even more invisible and natural-looking on skin than ever before, to create a flawless complexion on and off camera.

After applying bronzer and blush, I dusted MAKE UP FOR EVER HD Microfinish Powder to the t-zone. 

I then created a smoky eye by applying MAKE UP FOR EVER Aqua Matic in Satiny Warm Brown #S-60 to the top and bottom lash line, along with MAKE UP FOR EVER Artist Shadow in Pink Ash #S836 to the crease, and MAKE UP FOR EVER Artist Shadow in Ash Plum #S832 to the outer corners and by the bottom and top lashes to create depth. 

Lastly, I applied MAKE UP FOR EVER Rouge Artist Natural in Pink Beige #N4 to her lips to give the look a soft finish.”

Get the Look: Amber Heard

Actress Amber Heard, star of Magic Mike XXL, has been seen rocking this trend on the red carpet for the movie’s Amsterdam premier. Her sultry, red lip look was created by celebrity makeup artist, Melanie Inglessis for MAKE UP FOR EVER. 

To craft this “color of the summer” lip, Melanie used amazing MAKE UP FOR EVER products and kept the lip look perfect for summer, by pairing it with bronzed skin and a simple, yet smoldering eye.

Below find tips from the wonderfully talented makeup artist, Melanie Inglessis, for how to recreate this look. I have been a fan of Melanie's for quite some time!  

Tips/Techniques: “I wanted to give Amber a classic red lip to compliment the simple sexiness of her black, Cushnie et Ochs dress. To apply, I first used the long lasting Aqua Lip Waterproof Lip Liner Pencil in #8C True Red to define and accentuate the shape of her lips as well as prevent bleeding of her lipstick color. Next I applied the Rouge Artist Intense #8 Matte Bright Red using the MAKE UP FOR EVER Artisan Brush #304 Lip Brush which created a bright, bold statement lip."

Get The Look: Anna Camp at the MTV Movie Awards

Like many of you, I cannot wait to see Pitch Perfect 2 and loved watching the various cast members as presenters at last night's MTV Movie Awards. That snippet with Rebel Wilson- so funny!

I loved Anna Camp in the HBO series True Blood, so it's only natural that I wanted to share her look with all of you. I am also a huge fan of Melanie Inglessis - last night's Make Up Artist! Melanie is currently working with Britney Spears on her latest music video- among many other clients. 

WHO: Anna Camp

MAKEUP BY: Melanie Inglessis, for MAKE UP FOR EVER

INSPIRATION: “I wanted to create a makeup look that would match Anna’s vibrant and fun dress, while giving a nod to the 60's with a modern twist.”

TIPS/TECHNIQUE: “To begin Anna’s look, I started by prepping her skin with the MAKE UP FOR EVER Skin Equalizer Radiant Primer. The light and luminous texture of this primer created a great base for her makeup and its peach undertone allowed it to pair flawlessly with her fair skin tone. Continuing on her skin, I used foundation on her entire face and blended it with a wet beauty blender. 

Next, to give her more of a sun kissed look, I used the MAKE UP FOR EVER Pro Sculpting Duo #1 in Pink Beige. The product comes with two shades inside, one for bronzing the other for highlighting. I used the bronze color as a way to define Anna’s cheek bones and then placed the highlighter on top of the most standard highlighting placements: the cheek bones, the inner corner of the eyes and brow bones. 

To continue this fresh look, I used a small amount of a peach colored blush on the apple of her cheeks. 

For her graphic eyeliner, I decided on a purple shade to compliment the hint of lime color in Anna’s dress. The two shades look fantastic together. I first used the MAKE UP FOR EVER Artist Liner #I-90 in Iridescent Purple to create a line on her top lid, and finished if off with a wing effect that I followed back to the crease of her eyes. Once I was happy with the shape of the liner, I went over it with the MAKE UP FOR EVER Aqua Liner #8 in Iridescent Electric Purple. These two liners together created the perfect texture and color. 

To make the purple liner stand out, I used a purple mascara on Anna’s top lashes only. 

 I wanted to create a very natural lip, and to do this, I used the new MAKE UP FOR EVER Plexi Gloss in Light Beige, which comes out in May. This gloss gave the perfect texture and color to her lips."

Get the Look with Make Up For Ever: Rosamund Pike

That red dress! That gorgeous face! I loved Rosamund Pike in Gone Girl and I thought last night was one of her best looks to date. She is always gorgeous and that red dress last night paired with that nude lip was just a beautiful compliment to her overall look.

WHO: Rosamund Pike

MAKEUP BY: Melanie Inglessis, for MAKE UP FOR EVER

INSPIRATION: “As soon as I saw Rosamund’s custom Givenchy dress, I knew she was going to have a moment on the red carpet. I wanted to create a classic beauty look like the iconic Grace Kelly.”

TIPS/TECHNIQUE: “To prep Rosamund’s fair skin I applied SISLEY Sisleya Essential Skincare Lotion all over the face, followed by the refreshing SISLEY Floral Spray Mist. While the skin is still damp I applied SISLEY Hydra-Global Intense Anti-Aging Hydration to keep Rosamund’s skin nourished all night long. 

To reduce under eye puffiness I applied a thick layer of SISLEY Eye Contour Mask and left it on for 10 minutes.

I finished with SISLEY Nutritive Lip Balm and left on until I was ready to apply lipstick. 

I wanted Rosamund’s skin to have a flawless matte finish and MAKE UP FOR EVER Step 1 Skin Equalizer Mattifying Primer, which comes out in March, locks in moisture while giving a beautiful matte canvas for makeup. It’s the perfect primer and creates the perfect base. 

Using a Beauty Blender I worked CHANEL Vitalumiere Aqua onto the skin, followed by SISLEY Phyto-Cernes Eclat Concealer for under the eyes. 

To recreate depth in the face I blended CHANEL Soleil Tan de Chanel Bronzing Makeup Base with MAKE UP FOR EVER Artisan Medium Powder Brush #126 and worked the product below the cheek bone, then gently swiped it across the top of the forehead and bridge of the nose for a sun-kissed glow. 

Next, I dusted MAKE UP FOR EVER HD Pressed Powder all over, which is a great talc-free and translucent powder to keep the look fresh. 

To define and sharpen the brows I used MAKE UP FOR EVER Brow Seal Transparent Eyebrow Gel. 

To enhance Rosamund’s beautiful eye shape I wanted to use earthy tones and dusted MAKE UP FOR EVER Matte Artist Shadow in #M-530 Eggshell all over the lid. 

I then used MAKE UP FOR EVER Artist Liner in #M-50, Matte Bright Brown along the lash line and smudged it with CHANEL Illusion D’ombre Long Wear Luminous Eyeshadow in Mirage to create a softer look. 

I then added MAKE UP FOR EVER Artist Shadow in #M-536, Milk Tea, to the crease to open the eye and used MAKE UP FOR EVER Artisan Large Blender Brush #242 in a back and forth motion to blend the shade and also added it along the lower lash line. 

I used CHANEL Inimitable Mascara in Brun on the bottom lashes and then applied MAKE UP FOR EVER Smoky Lash Mascara Rich Black to the top lashes to create more volume and lengthen the lashes. 

For the perfect nude pout, I defined the lips with CHANEL Precision Lip Definer in Beige Innocent and then filled in with CHANEL Rouge Coco Ultra Hydrating Lip Colour in Mademoiselle.

Get The Look: Rosamund Pike

WHO: Rosamund Pike

MAKEUP BY: Melanie Inglessis, for MAKE UP FOR EVER

INSPIRATION: “I’m always inspired by the dress and tonight Rosamund is wearing an elegant, yet modern and playful asymmetrical style. To honor the dynamic, I wanted her makeup to remain neutral with a pop of color on the lip.”

TIPS/TECHNIQUE: “To prep Rosamund’s fair skin, I applied SISLEY Sisleya Essential Skincare Lotion all over the face which is the first step to my skincare ritual, followed by the refreshing SISLEY Floral Spray Mist. To brighten the under eye area I applied a thick layer of SISLEY Eye Contour Mask and left it on for 10 minutes. Next I mixed a few drops of SISLEY Black Rose Precious Face Oil with SISLEY Hydra-Global Intense Anti-Aging Hydration to keep Rosamund’s skin nourished all night long. I finished with SISLEY Nutritive Lip Balm, which I left on until I was ready to apply lipstick.

It’s important to use a primer that locks in moisture but also creates a flawless canvas, like the MAKE UP FOR EVER Step 1 Skin Equalizer Mattifying Primer, which comes out in March. I then feathered out MAKE UP FOR EVER HD Invisible Cover Foundation all over the face followed by SISLEY Phyto-Cernes Eclat Concealer for under the eyes. To set the foundation I dusted CHANEL Les Beiges Healthy Glow Sheer Colour Broad Spectrum SPF 15 all over and applied it with MAKE UP FOR EVER Artisan Medium Powder Brush #126. 

To contour, I blended CHANEL Soleil Tan de Chanel Bronzing Makeup Base with MAKE UP FOR EVER Artisan Blending Brush #122 and worked the product below the cheek bone, then gently swiped it across the top of the forehead and bridge of the nose for a sun-kissed glow.

To add freshness to Rosamund’s makeup look I softly blended MAKE UP FOR EVER HD Blush #225 Peachy Pink to the apples of the cheeks. 

Since I planned to focus on the lips I wanted to create soft definition on the eyes by applying MAKE UP FOR EVER Aqua Matic Eye Shadow Pencil in #ME-50 Metallic Golden Taupe to the top lid crease and softly smudged the color along the bottom lash line, ensuring it connected on the outer corner. I then used MAKE UP FOR EVER Artisan Large Blender Brush #242 to define the eyes with CHANEL Quadra Eyeshadow in Prélude. I used CHANEL Inimitable Mascara in Brun on the bottom lashes and then applied my favorite mascara, MAKE UP FOR EVER Smoky Lash Mascara Rich Black, to the top lashes to create a more intense look. 

Rosamund’s lips are the focus of tonight’s makeup look and I wanted to add a pop of fun, matte color that would last for hours on the red carpet. I used MAKE UP FOR EVER Aqua Lip Waterproof Lip Liner Pencil #25C Orange Red to line the lips and filled in with CHANEL Rouge Allure Velvet Luminous Matte Lip Colour in La Pétillante.”
