Beauty Beat: Lake Bell

I have the pleasure of doing Lake Bell’s makeup regularly for her NYC appearances and promos and love her! Lake Bell is one of the most naturally beautiful women I’ve had the pleasure of applying makeup to as her features are already enhanced and her skin is mere perfection. With all this said, yes, applying makeup on celebrities never feels like work rather a special perk of my job as the makeup application is often accompanied by an insane getup (in this case Louis Vuitton head to toe) and a hair style we could only dream of sporting at least once in our lives. I got to do Lake’s makeup with renown celebrity hairstylist (Angelina’s hair god) Ted Gibson. All of this preparation done in the comfort of your own apartment, might I add- does it get any better than this?

Lake wanted a little more drama than she normally requests, because as you can see, the dress is black, but not simple. I used Lancôme Le Crayon Khol in Black to apply what I call a ‘reversed catliner’ on her bottom lash line with lots of mascara and individual lashes.  I wing the liner out from the bottom which accentuated her almond eyes.  I used a fantastic Makeup Forever Black Shadow #4 over the pencil to set and kept the skin, cheeks and lips very nude-y pink and fresh.  Visit www.daramascara.blogspot.com for a complete list of the products I used!

You’ll never look as good as you do today…
