Celebrity makeup artist Mai Quynh explains how she created Jessica Szohr’s sultry red carpet look:

For the Complexion
“For Jessica’s face, I first applied Mark For Goodness Face Antioxidant Skin Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30 all over her skin to create a nice base. Next, I followed by applying Mark Face Xpert Flawless Touch Makeup in Golden. To cover any redness or under-eye circles, I dabbed on Mark Good Riddance Hook Up Concealer in Medium/Deep, and set the look with Mark Powder Buff Natural Skin Foundation in Golden. I then used the Mark Angled Contour Face Brush to dust Mark Bronze Pro Bronzing Powder to her cheeks, forehead and chin to warm up her face. To give her a slight flush, I added MarkGood Glowing Custom Pick Powder Blush in Sun Love Glo to the apples of her cheeks.”

The Eyes
“I really wanted to emphasize Jessica’s dark eyes so we created a heavy, smoky eye. I prepped her eyelids with the Mark Please Hold Eye Primer in Medium/Dark followed with a dusting of Mark I-Mark Custom Pick Eye Shadow in Gioia and Corset. Next, I blended the shadows upwards into the crease and then smudged Mark I-Mark Custom Pick Eye Shadow in Corset along her top and bottom lash line. I then rimmed her eyes with Mark No Place to Run Eyeliner Pencil in Jet Set since I needed something super long-wearing that wouldn’t smear once I applied. I finished off her eye look with two coats of Make It Big Mascara in Raven.”

On the Lips
“For her lips I used Mark Lipclick Full Color Lipstick in Malt. I love how creamy these new lipsticks are!”
