Elizabeth Banks

*Super excited to have my lovely makeup artist and friend, Fiona Stiles, as my first guest blogger. I'll let her take it from here. Enjoy her words! - EB

For the Man on a Ledge Premiere, Elizabeth wore a stunning gold paillette dress from Pucci with really sexy Christian Louboutin gold shoes, so we used lots of bronzes on the eyes and warmed her skin to a sun kissed golden color.  The bronzes made the blue of her eyes just pop.  And I love the warm rosy nude lip color because it keeps the look from feeling washed out, but it doesn't take away from the eyes.  I applied the foundation as I always do, using a synthetic brush and a Beauty Blender.  After it was set I dusted a little bronzer at her hairline and on her cheekbones to give that beachy glow.  For the eyes I took a deep brown liner and smudged it into the lashes top and bottom, and into the waterline.  Then I blended the color and brushed on a deep bronze shadow over it.  A little black liner on the top lash line defined the eyes and make the lashes look thicker.  And so did a few coats of black mascara. You know I love my mascara!
