Jessica Simpson is the second famous face in our Celebrity 101 series - we joined forces with celebrity makeup artist, Sheri Stroh, to give you the breakdown for Jessica's sexy look.
Sex-kitten du jour, Jessica Simpson, always steps out with an expertly made up face. Her makeup choices are pretty consistent; golden skin, full lashes, and a pink pout. To get a look that is both sexy and demure, check out these simple steps:
STEP ONE
Prep the skin with a primer that has a hint of bronzer to help even out your skin tone. Use a creamy, lightweight concealer to cover any dark circles and any redness- around the nose, and on any blemishes. Make sure to blend well. If you are prone to shine, lightly dust a translucent loose powder over your forehead, nose, and chin with a large fluffy powder brush.
STEP TWO
For the eyes, start with a shimmering rosy-taupe or gold shadow all over the lid and use an earthy, metallic bronze shade to line the upper lash line, blending up towards the crease. Smudge the bronze shade underneath the lower lash line as well. Use a shimmering light taupe shadow underneath the brow bone to highlight. Finish with black mascara on top and bottom lashes.
STEP THREE
For Jessica’s rosy glow, use a shimmering bronzer or blush to contour your cheeks and a light pink highlighting powder on top of your cheekbones.
STEP FOUR
Go for pink lips- for light skins choose a clear, cool based baby pink, or cool toned bright pink, darker skin tones can pull of berry and darker pinks with ease. Tip: Stroh suggests matching your lip color with your blush, to keep the pinks in the same color family.
