On our Cover: Studio 209 Brings Out Classic Beauty in Jessica Simms with Holiday Makeup
Posted by Laura Nelson on November 20, 2009
Jessica Simms is a busy mom with two little ones. Her makeup routine is minimal, she says, so she was happy to get some tips on achieving a “luxe look” for upcoming parties.
Linda Fisher used Sebastian’s Trucco Makeup line on Jessica for her holiday look. It is versatile to all skin and hair types. It is most beautiful on brunettes and blondes with deep or light eyes.
SKIN
Jessica has fair skin with pink undertones. Linda applied a light application of a neutral colored foundation and Final Touch Loose Powder was used as a finisher to set her look.
EYES
For an elegant holiday look, Linda created a smoky eye to make Jessica’s eyes pop. Taupe eyeliner was used to outline and define the lash line accentuating her hazel eyes. Calypso, a warm brown shadow, was applied to her eyelids, and Spirit, a white shadow, was used in the crease to give a shimmery look. In Pale, an iridescent cream shadow, was used to highlight the corners of Jessica’s eyes. Linda used Black Mascara to finish a dramatic eye and give length and curve to the lashes.
LIPS
Linda filled in Jessica’s lips with Shape, a warm red lip pencil. She then used Berry Bazaar Lip Gloss to give Jessica a wet, shimmery finished look.
CHEEKS
Sandalwood, a bronzing blush, was applied to Jessica’s cheeks for depth and contour. Rose, a pink blush, was used to highlight Jessica’s cheekbones to give her a natural glow for the holiday.
HAIR
Jessica has fine, straight hair. Toni Wilcox created an evening out style for Jessica’s holiday look. She gave Jessica a side part for definition and elegance. She then gathered her hair to pull it into a side ponytail. Using a CHI ceramic flat iron, Toni took small strands of hair from the ponytail and smoothed the strands through the ends. Redken Rewind, a working pomade, was used to separate the ponytail hair into smaller strands. She then formed and bobby pinned each strand into a fancy wave. Toni finished Jessica’s set with John Amico’s CIT hairspray for hold and incredible shine.
