Get Her Look: Vera Farmiga at 'Up In the Air' Premiere

makeup artist Tina Turnbow gave actress Vera Farmiga a simple, yet still gorgeous, look for the los angeles premiere of her new film, "Up In the Air" (also starring George Clooney, swoon).

Tina says: "Vera's look was simple glamour: her dress was ephemeral– a white, almost grecian Dolce & Gabbana, and i wanted her makeup look to shine forth her beautiful features, while keeping that simple, effortless air."

using mostly natural makeup, Tina shares how she created the look:

face:

Tina Says: "Vera has a beautiful, fair complexion, so i kept it simple – with a lightweight foundation and finished with a light, rosy blush."

foundation: Almay Pure Blends Mineral Makeup in Fair - "i love that this foundation is 97.4% natural."

blush: Revolution Organics Freedom Glow Beauty Balm in Blushed - "it's a beautiful cream stick that creates very natural-looking rosy cheeks."- and Mineral Fusion Blush in Trace, "a soft, baby pink to highlight cheek bones."

powder: Tarte Provocateur SPF 8 Pressed Mineral Powder & Compact in Fair

eyes:

Tina says:"i kept the eyes nude, with a bit of pearly shimmer smudged on the lids and beautiful lush lashes. it was also important that her brows were defined and framed her face."

eyeshadow: Jane Iredale Liquid Eyeliner in Silver (smudged on lids)

lashes: Origins Full Story Lush Lash Mascara

brows: Clarins Pro Palette Eyebrow Kit. "this all-in-one kit has everything i need to create the perfect brows – from highlighter to powders to even a holding wax to groom them brows."


lips:

lip prep: Korres Guava Lip Butter to prep lips "offers creamy hydration and is a great primer for lipcolor."

lipstick: ZUZU Luxe Lipstick in Vino D'amour


Tina finished Vera's look with ARCONA Lavender Hydrating Mist "to set the makeup and give a little finishing glow"
