Ode to a Red Carpet Beauty…..

I recently saw photos of Julia Roberts at the NYC premiere of Eat, Pray, Love and I was struck by how lovely she looked. Then it hit me- she pretty much always looks “perfect”. Perfect meaning…..perfect for her. She just looks great. Pretty much always. Keep in mind….Julia Roberts is not a twenty something starlet….she is a beautiful 40 something actress and especially on this occasion- the red carpet for Eat, Pray, Love….she looked amazing. She wore a black, minimal, short suit by Stella McCartney, her hair is back to brown with golden highlights and she wore it in simple waves. Her makeup looked, well, “perfect”. As she is the face of Lancome- her Makeup Artist, Genevieve Herr, used mainly Lancome products on her ( aside from Laura Mercier Secret Concealer and Brightening Powder- which are two of my favorite kit staples, as well).  Genevieve used Lancôme’s Teint Miracle Foundation for base, and gave her a light, black-plum smokey eye blended from the French Touch Color Design Quad from the Fall French Coquettes collection,  Le Crayon Khôl in Black Ebony and finished her eyes with Définicils Precious Cells Mascara. Genevieve complemented the smokey eye by giving her a light pink lip color-Le Lipstique Lip Liner in Sheer Natural, Color Design Lipstick in Love It! & Juicy Tubes in Spring Fling. I think Genevieve does beautiful makeup and often when I notice gorgeous magazine cover work and go to check the credits….. it is Genevieve……
