Get the red capret look with Neutrogena!!

Did you see Emma Roberts and Jennifer Garner on the red carpet at the Hollywood premiere of the new film, “Valentine’s Day”?



Didn't they look gorgeous??

Now it's easy to achieve their gorgeous looks with Neutrogena. Below you will find a breakdown on how to achieve both of these flawless looks on your own.



Makeup Artist Dawn Broussard collaborated with Neutrogena brand ambassador Emma Roberts to create the starlet’s look for the Hollywood premiere of “Valentine’s Day.” Now, she shares how you can achieve this gorgeous look on your own:


Face:

To keep her skin looking beautiful on and off the red carpet, Emma regularly cleanses with Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash Redness Soothing Facial Cleanser.

For this premiere, I wanted to build a naturally flawless face while treating blemishes and preventing future breakouts. I used Neutrogena SkinClearing Liquid Make-up and SkinClearing Mineral Powder in Classic Ivory for a beautifully even finish. Since her hair was swept away from her face, I gave Emma an airy glow with a Neutrogena Mineral Sheers Blush in Illuminator.


Eyes:

Although Emma’s dress was light in color, it was adorned with shimmery sequins in brighter hues. To complement her fun and flirty look, I wanted to accentuate her eyes with spicy-warm brown shades since they are not as harsh as black. Using Neutrogena Nourishing Eye Duo in Crème Caramel for the eye shadow base, I applied Neutrogena Nourishing Eye Duo in Fairy Dusty in the creases of her eyes for a hint of drama. I framed her lash lines with Neutrogena Nourishing Eye Liner in Spiced Chocolate so her eyes would “pop” against her subtle lip color. I finished the look off with a few coats of Healthy Volume Black Brown Mascara.


Lips:

To balance out her smokey eye make-up, I layered Neutrogena MoistureShine LipSheers in Sparkling Nude underneath a top coat of Neutrogena MoistureShine Gloss in Whisper.


Hair Care:


I armed Emma with a bottle of Neutrogena Anti-Residue Shampoo for when she heads home as it instantly removes over 90% of styling product build-up other shampoos and conditioners leave behind. Considering Emma’s hair had a lot of styling products in it, the Neutrogena Anti-Residue Shampoo is a great choice for removing dulling residue from overworked hair post-event.



Neutrogena brand ambassador Jennifer Garner showed off her smoldering look at the Hollywood premiere of her new film, “Valentine’s Day.” Now you can achieve this fresh, classic look on your own:

Prep:

Jennifer’s skin was prepped all-over with NEUTROGENA Healthy Defense Daily Moisturizer SPF 50, a lightweight, non-greasy formula which provided a clean base for make-up application. NEUTRGOGENA Continuous Hydration Eye from Ageless Essentials, a nourishing moisturizer, is dabbed below each eye in order to catch any flakes during make-up application so it can easily be swept away without pulling or damaging the delicate skin below the eyes.

Face:

Jennifer prefers creating the consistency of a tinted moisturizer, so for her flawless face mix NEUTROGENA Healthy Skin Liquid Makeup SPF 20 in Natural Ivory with NEUTROGENA Healthy Defense Daily Moisturizer SPF 50. Blend thoroughly, moving from the center of the face outwardly to give the effect of a slight glow. Spot treat any imperfections by dabbing NEUTROGENA Healthy Skin Liquid Makeup SPF 20 in Natural Ivory with your fingers as needed to ensure the most natural coverage.

For a sheer touch of illuminating color, sweep NEUTROGENA Healthy Skin Custom Glow™ Blush and Bronzer in Posie Glow on the apples of the cheeks.


Eyes:

Avoiding black to create a soft, sophisticated look, NEUTROGENA Nourishing Eye Quad in Copper Glow was brushed across Jennifer’s lids to make her hazel/green eyes pop. To frame her upper lash lines, NEUTROGENA Nourishing Eye Quad Garden Party was applied for a shimmery copper effect. Using an earthy red/brown shade, her lower lashes were lined with NEUTROGENA Nourishing Eye Duo in Honey Nut for contrast.

Starting with the outer corners of the eyes, blend NEUTROGENA Nourishing Eye Quad in Blue Smoke from the crease to the inner parts of the eyes. The effect will be a dark, dramatic crease that fades inwardly for the most natural smokey eye. NEUTROGENA Nourishing Eye Quads and Nourishing Eye Duos are great for formal occasions since these crease and fade proof color palettes will ensure a beautiful wear all night long.

Complete the look with three coats of Neutrogena Healthy Volume Mascara in Carbon Black. Wipe the brush in between coats to run through individual lashes so they separate. Neutrogena Healthy Volume Mascara does not clump, smudge or flake making it the perfect product to layer with multiple coats in order to accentuate the eye make-up look.

Now you are red carpet ready!!!! :)
