Actor, director, activist, beauty icon. From her rise to fame in Desperate Housewives to her humanitarian work through the Eva Longoria Foundation, Eva Longoria has managed to consistently resonate with her million-strong fan base throughout her fifteen year career.
As part of her visit to Australia for Specsavers last week, we met with the ever-glamorous Eva Longoria to talk beauty tips, the new hollywood pilates craze, and her secret weapon for an instant makeover.
Love Eva’s look? We caught up with her Australian makeup artist Noni Smith to get the details.
On foundation: ‘We used the Dior Star foundation which is her favourite. It has a really nice matte coverage, but also has a luminosity to it. We also used a Nars concealer and finished with a loose powder.’
On eyes: ‘Because she has such dark eyes, she can carry quite a lot of eye makeup. So we did a black rim, black lashes, smoky around the eye, and filled in the brows quite well.’
On cheeks: ‘For lumosity on the cheek bones, we used Nars Super Orgasm Cream. Over the top I used another super sheer powder luminiser.’
On lips: ‘The lip is a L’Oréal lip; a combination of a few pink shades, with a bit of my favourite Mac gloss over the top.
On getting Latino skin right: ‘You have to make sure you’ve got the right base colour; she has a very yellow and olive undertone. If you don’t get that right, the whole thing’s going to look awful. And make sure the eyes have got enough depth, because they can carry the blackest smoky eye.’
