AVEENO Positively Radiant

Get the Look: Positively Radiant

January 13, 2015 By Lena

Happy Tuesday! Today I’m obsessed with perfect skin… most notably, Jennifer Aniston’s at the Golden Globes on Sunday night. Now, I’ve made it no secret that I adore everything she’s got going on; from her shiny tresses and glowing skin to her perfectly toned body, she is a walking goddess.

(Fitting, since her ancestors are Greek.)

Well, I just happen to have the inside scoop on how to get her look! Jen’s make-up artist, Angela Levin, dished on exactly what she used to create her glowing skin, dramatic eyes and pretty, neutral lips. Below, find a step-by-step guide!

jennider aniston“One of the most important parts of make-up application on a day like the Golden Globes is longevity – it has to last all the way from the red carpet to the event and throughout the after parties. I started by hydrating Jennifer’s face and neck with AVEENO POSITIVELY RADIANT Daily Moisturizer SPF 15, and to accentuate her glowing arms and shoulders, I used AVEENO Daily Moisturizing Lotion.”

Okay ladies, this is Beauty 101. Finding a quality moisturizer is an essential part of healthy-looking skin, and I love that Jennifer keeps it simple with Aveeno’s daily moisturizers.

(If you skip down a few posts, you’ll see that Aveeno Skin Relief Moisturizing Lotion is my go-to for dry, winter skin.)

Alright, Angela, what’s next?

“I proceeded by applying 3 CHANEL Perfection Lumiere Velvet colors – 40 Beige as the foundation, 70 Beige for shading and 22 Beige Rose as a highlight. With the darkest color I framed her face blending it onto the neck, then also painting the low jaw line. I applied a thin layer of 40 Beige all over, fading it into the 70 Beige while using the 22 Beige Rose on and around the eyes, bridge of the nose, chin and cheek bone with a minimal amount of powder to set.”

Er, I appreciate the tutorial, Angela – especially since I’ve long wondered about the secret to Jennifer’s ultra glowing complexion – but an application of three different foundations is slightly out of my comfort zone. Not to mention, I have exactly 16 seconds to apply foundation on any given morning. Sigh. …

Get the Look: Jennifer Aniston

September 15, 2014 By Lena

The truth is, I was on Team Jolie.

Yeah, I know the supposed feud went down about 10 years ago, and the only people who still care are the overly enthusiastic commenters on gossip websites. (Side note: have you ever read the comments on www.usmagazine.com? They’re actually more entertaining than the article!)

But I digress. My reason for sticking with Ms. Jolie was one of simple fact: you can’t steal a man. Either a man wants to leave his wife, or he doesn’t. Unfortunately for both Angelina and Jennifer, they were unwilling participants in the tug-of-war of the century.

Of course, when Brad Pitt is the grand prize, I *almost* understand, and forgive, the hype.

And aside from Jennifer’s stoic resolve to stay respectful when speaking to the media, I had to admire one thing…. her otherworldly incredible hair and skin. Truly! There is just something so flawless about her beauty, from her perfectly bronzed skin to her thick veil of stylishly coiffed locks. She is a beauty and style icon; an ambassador to those who revere a fresh, natural look.

Recently, AVEENO Global Ambassador Jennifer Aniston showed off her glowing skin at the premiere of her upcoming film, Cake. Aniston’s make-up artist, Angela Levin, created the star’s natural look, which she debuted at the Toronto Film Festival. And I just happen to have all the beauty tips, straight from Angela Levin herself!

"Cake" Premiere - 2014 Toronto International Film Festival“I started the day by prepping Jen’s skin with AVEENO POSITIVELY RADIANT Skin Brightening Daily Scrub. It’s very gentle and leaves the skin feeling clean and fresh, making it a perfect surface for makeup application.

I proceeded by applying AVEENO POSITIVELY RADIANT Daily Moisturizer SPF 15 on her face and neck. Jen loves this moisturizer – it feels light on the skin and is very effective in keeping it hydrated and toned throughout the day.

I then applied a light coat of foundation by CHANEL Perfection Lumière Velvet, in two colors – 60 Beige on her neck and outer areas of her face and 50 Beige in the center.

I then used CHANEL Les Beiges in N50 as a bronzer on her forehead, chin and cheek using the brush that comes with the compact. I love this product because it’s matte and I can build the application to heavier or lighter.

For her cheeks, I mixed CHANEL Cream Blush in Chamade with Make Up Forever Cream Blush 335 and gently applied using my fingers, creating a sun kissed natural look. …
