Ashley Greene: Inside the Mark Studio in NY

I did Ashley Greene’s makeup for her Mark press launch. Here's what I used: For the face, I started with Mark Calm and Composed Moisturizer. I used Mark Good Riddance Concealer in Light/Medium under her eyes and around her nose. Then I applied Mark Powder Buff in Natural with the powder brush. To the apple of the cheeks, I applied Good Glowing in Cameo Glo and then used Mark Touch and Glow to highlight cheek bones using the angled contour face brush. For her eyes, I prepped the eyes with Please Hold Eye Primer in Light/Medium. I applied the light shade of Keep It Going Longwear Eyeshadow & Eyeliner Duo in Exposure to her inner eyelid, as a highlighter, using the flat eyeliner brush. Then I smudged Keep It Going, the dark brown shade of Exposure, along the top and bottom lashline using the flat eyeliner brush. Once all the creams were on, I warmed up the crease of the eye with I-Mark eyeshadow in Tiki, using the angled contour eyeshadow brush. This brush helps to blend and soften the shadow into the crease. I used an eyeliner brush to smudge Tiki along the bottom lashes, too. Next, I used On the Edge liquid eyeliner in Cleo on the top lash line to define the eye. I finished the eyes with two coats of Mark Make It Big Mascara in Raven. For the lips, I mixed Mark Lipclicks in Whiney and Cha Cha and then added Lots of Lacquer Gloss in Pop.

Beauty Obsession: The Body Scrub by Sara Happ

When it comes to body scrub, I want my skin to feel silky smooth and hydrated which is no small feat for my sensitive and dry skin. In order to keep my skin super-smooth, I’ve been using the new Body Scrub in Vanilla Bean by exfoliation expert Sara Happ. It’s not greasy or oily, doesn’t irritate my skin and smells ah-mazing. What's makes it wonderful? Kukui nut, macadamia and sweet almond oils that leave zero residue behind and space age-esque sugar crystals that are bigger and bolder than anything you’ve seen.

Kristen Bell: You Again Premiere

Tonight, I did Kristen's makeup for the You Again Premiere. She's wearing a yellow and white dress by Valentino, so I gave her bronzy eyes and nude lips to go with it. Here's what I used: For her face, I started by applying Mark See Things Clearly Face Moisturizer all over her skin. Next, I used Mark Face Xpert in Natural and applied it with the foundation brush. I put Mark Good Riddance Concealer in Light/Medium around her nose and under her eyes. I set her foundation with Mark Powder Buff in Natural using the powder brush. After the powder has set the foundation, I dusted Mark Bronze Pro in Pro Golden to her cheeks, chin and forehead, using the blush/bronzer brush. For blush, I dusted Good Glowing Blush in After Glo, using the angled contour face brush. For her eyes, I started with the On the Dot Eyeshadow Palette. Using the hookup eyeshadow brush, I applied the "cream" shadow to her inner eyelid, for a highlighting effect. Then, using the same brush, I swept on the "bronze" color to the middle of her eyelid blending outwards. I applied the "dark brown" shadow to her outer corners and blended it into the crease, upwards, towards the brows, using the angled contour eyeshadow brush. Next, I smudged the "dark brown" shadow underneath, along the lower lashes, using the eyeliner brush. Finally, I used two coats of Scanda-Lash Mascara in Blacklash.

Beauty Obsession: Trish McEvoy Beauty Emergency Card for Eyes

There are so many gems in Trish McEvoy’s cosmetic line. I've always been a fan of her fantastic brushes and I think the Blackberry Vanilla Musk perfume is delicious. Since I’m currently planning my honeymoon, I’m looking for travel-friendly items to take with me. I’m loving this new Beauty Emergency card from Trish McEvoy. It's literally a pocket-sized eye shadow palette with six neutral eye shadows, Deep Aubergine Eye Definer, and a natural brow definer color. Pretty and portable.

5 Minutes With: Carola G

Celebrity makeup artist Carola Gonzalez is so pretty – you’d think she was a model. The first time I met her, she had the most amazing coral nail polish on. (It was Essie Flirt which I totally copied her and bought it the next day.) Born in Puerto Rico, Carola discovered her passion for makeup while living in Miami, and moved to Los Angeles in 2003 where her career took off. She has worked with David Duchovny, Gerard Butler and is the personal makeup artist to Kerry Washington. Plus, she does an amazing spray tan. Mai & I have both had the privilege of her tanning perfection.

Beauty trend you’re loving? I'm loving the lip tint look on the lips. It adds color to your face without looking like you are wearing makeup. Also, tints can be used as blush to give a flush look. You can do the same using a matte lipstick. I like the Dolce & Gabbana lipstick in 0068. It's like a Berry Vamp.
