Rosario Dawson’s Beauty Look Explained.

Rosario Dawson's make-up artist says 'a little goes a long way' when creating her red carpet looks.

The actress recently turned heads at the premiere of her latest film Trance where she dazzled in a scarlet sequinned number.

Rosario's make-up artist Mary Greenwell says her sparkling form was the result of a gorgeous gown and flawless face.

'Rosario looked stunning in her Jenny Packham dress, so the aim was to create soft clean make-up with an emphasis on the eyes,' Mary told UK magazine Hello!

'[For smouldering eyes] a little goes a long way on someone as beautiful as Rosario. So I started by applying Chanel Illusion d'Ombre Long Wear Luminous Eyeshadow in Ebloui to the lids, smudging it with my finger, then brushing up onto the brow bone, to keep the look natural. I used a thick liner at the roots of the lashes, to give a dark, smouldering look, followed by two coats of lengthening and curling mascaras.'

Mary says she created a warm glowing complexion with subtle flushed cheeks for Rosario's face. The finishing touch was a rosy red lip, to complement the shade of the gown.

'Rosario has beautiful colouring and always has a healthy glow so I applied a light veil of Chanel Hydra Beauty Crème,' she explained.

'Rosario needs little colour on her incredible lips, so I simply moisturised with some Sisley Confort Extreme Levres, then added a little UNE Sheer Lips Balm in S08.'

Gwyneth Paltrow: I love Smokey Eyes

Gwyneth Paltrow: I Love Smokey Eyes
 
Gwyneth Paltrow is a fan of dark eye make-up to get a 'cool, slightly undone' look.
The Oscar-winning actress is the creative inspiration for beauty brand Max Factor's new campaigns.
The celebrity blogger shared her beauty essentials and tips for creating a hot and on-trend make-up look.
'I love that cool, slightly undone look you get with a dark, smudgy eye,' Gwyneth told Stylist magazine. 'You see that a lot in London, there's a really cool vibe here at the moment where the look is glam, but a little edgier.'
The star said the key to getting your make-up spot on is to focus on a few signature looks. In her new Max Factor campaign, she worked with make-up artist Pat McGrath to create a modern businesswoman look for the shoot.
'I'm a big fan of a simple red lip teamed with fresh skin, like the businesswoman look in the campaign,' she continued. 'I think it's a strong statement and a really good look for me personally. I change things up on a night out by wearing a smokey eye.'
Gwyneth finished by dispelling the myth that blondes have more fun. The naturally fair actress says in fact being golden haired can be a hindrance to your enjoyment rather than help.
'I don't understand the whole idea of blondes having more fun. I'd say brunettes have more fun as they can go under the radar a little bit more,' she laughed. 'People are just waiting for blondes to get drunk and fall down, because we're so visible.'
