Lipstick Powder N Paint

Glee: Love it or hate it? Well, however you feel about the new comedy show, you have to be impressed by the awards it is picking up. And doesn’t Lea Michele look happy.

The Glee actress was looking all glammed up at the 2010 SAG Awards, with a little help from makeup artist, Melanie Inglessis, and Chantecaille beauty products. 

Inglessis said, “I wanted to create an old Hollywood meets new Hollywood vibe….merge the classic starlet with a modern twist and have Lea channel a young bronzed Ava Gardner. The color and cut of the dress were the main focus and I just wanted to compliment it and not overshadow it. Lea and I agreed that a glowy/shimmery look with a little smoky eye was the way to go.”

Here are the products that Inglessis used and what she had to say about them:

Nano Gold Energizing cream

“Prepare the skin with this moisturizing balm for an amazing/ illuminating base for the make up. Gives skin an instant all over glow.”

La Baleine Blanche, illuminating face powder

“Loosely apply the illuminating face powder after your foundation, use a big fluffy brush and dust all over face. Be careful not to pick up too much product with your brush as you want to avoid blotchiness…It is always better to build up the product then having to take it down. Pay special attention to your cheekbones and browbones for that instant red carpet glamour!”

Cheek Shade in Wind

“To keep the look fresh and young always apply a peachy color - just on the apple of the cheek, very lightly. It instantly brightens the face!”

Le Stylo in Black

“A perfect way to apply a very thin liner by your top lash line, the velvet tip and the light texture make it really easy to apply. A good way to define your eyes without the “heavy” 60’s look…”

Super Lip Sheer in Eclipse

“For a natural look, I dabbed the lip color with my ring finger in the middle of Lea’s mouth and asked her to blot her lips together…it’s a very natural way to deposit a color onto your lips..”
