69th Annual Golden Globe Awards: Debra Messing

A look at Debra Messing as she walked the red carpet at the 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards held at the Beverly Hilton hotel in Beverly Hills, California on January 15th, 2012.  Her makeup was done by makeup artist Jeannia Robinette for tarte. On inspiration, Robinette remarked, “Debra said she wanted knock-em-dead eyes. She wanted a super smoky dramatic look, so we made it all about glamorous eyes, and accentuated them with a shiny, natural nude gloss on the lips.”

Makeup Breakdown

To begin, Jeannia used tarte’s Amazonian clay 12-hour full coverage foundation with Broad Spectrum SPF 15, applied with tarte’s new airbrush finish bamboo foundation brush. She added a touch of sheen with tarte’s new maracuja blush & glow brightening luminizer and cheek tint in candlelight on the tops of her cheekbones and around her temples. She then used Amazonian clay bronzer in park ave princess to contour on the hollows of the cheek.

To make her cheekbones pop, she used tarte’s new Amazonian clay 12-hour blush in buff a warm nude with a touch of shimmer, on the apples of her cheeks and along her cheekbones.

She lined the inner rims of the eyes with tarte’s emphasEYES™ high-definition inner rim eyeliner black pencil. Then she smudged smolderEYES Amazonian clay waterproof liner in golden black along the lash line, followed by smolderEYES Amazonian clay waterproof liner in olive, which added the perfect hint of green to complement her earrings. She followed by tapping on Amazonian clay cream shadow in shimmering moss to set the look and strike the perfect balance of black and green. For loads of volume and dramatic separation on her upper lashes, Jeannia used two coats of tarte’s light, camera, lashes! clinically-proven mascara, which made her eyes pop. She finished by swiping tarte’s new the bright side double-ended eye brightener under her brow bones and in the very inner-corners of her eyes to add an instant brightening effect.

Lady in the red dress… I love Debra Messing — she seems like someone who has a lot of fun.  A smoky brown eye and nude lips with bronzer on the cheeks to go with a very bold, very bright red dress.  It works, and I like it on her–though the lips are almost a bit too nude for me.  What about you?
