Makeup Artist Kelsey Deenihan for Votre Vu created the look of Kate Bosworth for her press events at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival.

For the premiere of “Black Rock” at the Sundance Film Festival I prepped Kate’s face by using a combination of different Votre Vu products to create the perfect canvas ready for the makeup application. Guess What??? I have a list of the products used below!

I started off by massaging “ATTENTIVE Creme de Jour for Sensitive Skin” all over the face and neck. This cream is great because it calms the skin and replenishes moisture – especially in these weather conditions.

To keep the under-eyes moisturized, I lightly smoothed into the skin “Tout le Monde Antioxidant Eye Gelee.”

Next I applied Votre Vu Sensational Eyes Eye Primer in Medium on lids for a perfect way to keep eye shadow on all day – the perfect base.

To finish prepping the face for makeup I dabbed a drop of the “Attentive Serum Delicat Pour Le Visage” into the skin and massaged starting at the center of the face and moving outward.
Kate has amazing skin so she really doesn’t need a heavy foundation. To set the foundation I dusted on Votre Vu Mineral Powder in Light all over the face.

For the premiere I wanted Kate’s makeup to be fresh and natural but with a bold classic red lip. The perfect base for the lipstick is the Votre Vu Champagne Kisses Lip Treatment. I didn’t line Kate’s lips so the Champagne Kisses pulled double duty by moisturizing and preventing the lipstick from bleeding out.  

Today with Kate we started off by prepping the face similar as I did last evening. Kate was doing a full day of press for her movie “Black Rock” here at Sundance so we needed the skin to be extremely hydrated to prevent the makeup from looking heavy…especially in this freezing dry air.

To make sure Kate’s lips were moisturized and smooth I applied the Champagne Kisses lip treatment. This prevented the elements from really chapping the lips.

Winter Skin Can look dull, flakey and dry while feeling tight, itchyand thirsty! Lower humidity levels, extreme cold and varying indoor and outdoor environments cause damage to skin’s protective outer layer and trigger these sensations in skin.

A few skin – saving tips can ensure you make it safely through the chillest season.

• Ditch the Foam

Foaming cleansers can dry out skin. Switch to a cream to replenish lipids and soothe sensitivity. We like: Ultra Calming Cleanser

• Layer It On

Spritz a hydrating, alcohol – free toner over skin after cleansing and throughout the day to reduce the tightness. We like:  Multi-Active Toner, Antioxidant Hydra – Mist or Ultra Calming Mist.

• Take That Extra Step

Whether a pre – moisturizer treatment  or a masque treatment performed 2 to 3 times a week, this step could be the skin saver that gets you through. We like: UltraCalming Serum Concentrate and Skin Hydrating Masque.

Chef Eddy Rocq’s Sweetheart Collection

Why wait until midnight to be in Paris with the one you love? Let Parisian Chef Eddy Rocq bring the taste of Paris to you this Valentine’s Day.

Available in a box of 24, Rocq’s Sweetheart macaron Collection delivers the authentic French delicacies in an elegant pearl-white box for $48. These famous almond cookies are small and heart-shaped, crispy on the outside but smooth and soft in the middle with a 21^st century twist. Made fresh daily, by hand and overseen by Rocq himself, macaron’s are also naturally gluten-free.

The collection includes four mouth-watering flavors:

¨     Dark Chocolate, a delicious chocolate shell filled with a Valrhona chocolate ganache sprinkled with cocoa on top.

¨     Raspberry, made with fresh raspberries, this sweet berry-flavored cookie is filled with a rich white chocolate ganache.

¨     Peach Mango, a fusion of fresh peach and mango infused for a burst of juicy fruity ganache.

¨     Red Velvet, an explosion of flavor that doesn’t overwhelm the palate, the moist red velvet crust shields the creamy bourbon vanilla bean filling.

Rocq worked with well-known master chefs across France in the summer of 2011 to obtain maximum knowledge of macarons. After working months alongside the teachings of prestigious French pastry chef, Guy Monnet, Rocq finally made his own recipe and created the heart-shaped macaroon exclusive for Valentine’s Day. “These macaroons must be made by hand. So not ever heart is the same but every heart has a bit of my love in it,” says Rocq. 

Order directly from www.RocqMacarons.com or available at www.WilliamSonoma.com starting January 19, 2012.
